Re: Hydroelectric Power

W:
By using a lever or some other type of multiplier can't you get more
energy than you put in?
=====================
Not according to Newton and Conservation of energy. Ever take a physics
class?

W:
What amount of kwh could one horse pump up in
a day?
=============
One HP is 746 watts.... .746KW.... Its also 33000 ft-lbs/min... thats
how much water you can lift

W:
I am not a very good problem solver.
============================
Back of the envelope energy calculations like this are a great place to
start. Its just adding and multiplying.
