In summary, a perpetual water fountain is a self-sustaining system that continuously recycles and purifies water without the need for external sources of energy. It works by utilizing gravity, natural filtration, and evaporation, and has benefits such as providing clean drinking water and reducing energy use and water waste. However, it may not be suitable for all environments and may require maintenance and repairs. It can be used in both households and large-scale settings, but the design and capabilities may vary. It is important to research and choose a fountain that meets specific needs.

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.

Hi there,

Thank you for your inquiry about a perpetual water fountain and finding designs for a micro-hydro generator. It's great that you are looking for alternative and sustainable energy sources for your home.

In terms of a perpetual water fountain, there are many designs available online that you can explore. A simple search for "perpetual water fountain designs" on a search engine should bring up plenty of results for you to choose from. You can also check out DIY websites or forums where individuals share their own designs and experiences with creating perpetual water fountains.

As for creating a running water source for a micro-hydro generator in your home, it may be possible depending on your location and access to resources. You could consider installing a small water tank or reservoir on your property that can collect and store rainwater, which can then be used to power the micro-hydro generator. Another option could be to redirect a nearby stream or river to your property, but this would require proper permits and approvals from local authorities.

It's great to see your interest in harnessing free and renewable energy for your home. Just be sure to do thorough research and consult with experts before making any major changes to your property. Best of luck with your sustainable energy endeavors!
