Creating a home-based micro-hydro generator without natural running water is challenging, as it typically relies on a consistent water source. The discussion highlights the search for designs that could mimic a perpetual motion device, which is not feasible according to established physics. The forum moderator points out that the concept of perpetual motion is inappropriate for the discussion and locks the thread. Despite the setback, the user is encouraged to explore other renewable energy options. The conversation emphasizes the limitations of micro-hydro systems in the absence of a natural water flow.

Where can I find the designs for the next best thing to a perpetual water device?

I want to use a micro-hydro generator at my home but I do not have any running water near by.

Is there a way to create a running water source for a micro-hydro genereator in my home?

Just a crazy thought... free electricity...:-)

Welcome to PF, tjnlsn255. Unfortunately, your first post here is about perpetual motion machines, and thus is not appropriate for this forum. I have to lock the thread, but don't despair -- you're still welcome here.

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
