See, I don't think water is the way to do it. I think you do it with a massive lead pole with teeth to lock into a gear.
Fully contained, no spillage
Part of me is thinking: "But doesn't the water slow down each time it comes into contact with the cog?"
And the answer is the yes, but the answer is also, "it begins to accelerate again right after it falls off the cog."
And yet it's still fucking with me, and somehow I'm imagining water getting slower and slower and less energetic each time, as if gravity itself is being weakened
I mean, genuinely, this would be infinite energy. I was thinking of somehow using magnets and induction to generate power, but it would be excessively high frequency and would be antithetical to multi-phase power.
that looks just like me lol
