It’s a nice idea but impractical. Energy = mass x gravity x height
Say 10 tonnes of water pumped into a massive 20m high tower… E =10000x9.8x20 Joules. ≈ 2 mega joules.
Theres 3600 joules to a watt hour so divide that and you get:
≈ 550 watt hours (0.55kWh) of storage (assuming perfect efficiency of the turbines). About the same a half a dozen big cordless tool battery packs.
Hey there! Sorry, I got busy with work today.
I was just noticing that you have plenty of replies. I think you seem to have enough to go on with.
If you still need anything, hit a reply to this one and I can give you my 2-cents worth of opinion.
I think for those classic clicky dumb thermostats they should be called thermochaser.
You dial up a temp and that’s pretty much the least likely temp that you’re setting, the f****** think will overshoot panic, u-turn dive back past the set-point hit the breaks u-turn again apply full throttle.
Or perhaps a thermotease. For when you do that fine adjustment to try and make it just barely click then 10 seconds later it’s too hot or cold… so you give it anither tiny tweak thinking you gotta be close but no, it’s miles away from clicking - burning away, quietly mocking you.
First question. Was your router also your modem? As in describe each connection/device from street until you get to your router. (Do you also know your connection type? Some flavour of DSL, HFC, Fiber?)
This Billy Joel remix needs some work. Though, it still makes more sense than the original.
Oh damn. I sure did.
Thank you protestor. I mean it doesn’t even pass the possibility test. 300m people population, 1m litres ≈ 300L per person, per day?
Are you sure you have the full details of the conversation?
