I understand that levers don't create energy, they transfers energy from distance into force. But wouldn't this kinetic force be able to be transferred into torque energy in a rotor, such as a salient pole rotor? For example, at the end of the resistance arm of the lever you attach a straight...
How long would a lever have to be for the weight on the effort arm to generate the equivalent energy of a single hydroelectric dam generator? State weight/force in kg.
My ponderings:
The weight could be anything, would be interesting to use water weight from a passive air water condenser in a...
