I love to see some micro hydro mining ideas! I've got a creek with about 10ft of drop on the homestead but it's a pretty low flow rate.

Have you heard of anyone siphoning a pond high on the land into a lower pond and generating power? Then refilling it with a solar pump. Could be like a big battery... Who knows maybe it could be efficient?

Reverse pumps exist so you can actually generate when you allow flow and pump when you push electricity. The issue is, can’t find them small scale. If you find something for flow that fits your case, please let me know.

What is that called or do you have an example of one? Sounds interesting!
