Nice drawings. Although I don't know how this will work.

Alright! Finally finished the big kahuna concept! If I did this right each slide will be able to generate north of 700kw per day. Many things need to be engineered and ironed out for this to work but for now - assuming it does - this might be a new way to use hydro-power. For reference if the scale was brought down to the size of a backyard - using two shipping containers for pools and using the same idea, the backyard sized pools could generate 1kw per day. It may not sound like much but It's generated 100% passive energy, It's green energy and if connected downriver to a lake this could create much more energy for much less cost. OH yeeee!

Discussion
Seems interesting and I am curious to the methods utilized!
thx! I'll be posting more updates as I make some progress on this project. All input appreciated !
lol same it needs alot of work and I'm not sure it will work well enough for what I intend. Basically the idea is to use passive solar heating panels to heat water and make it travel upwards from a pool in a lower elevation to a higher one. Do that a few times and then use a slide connecting the highest pool to the lowest one. The slide then has water generators. The main problem will be to figure out how to make the passive solar water heater panels work. I hope they won't need a water pump since that would defeat the purpose. There are also some passive solar heater panels that use long tubes filled with some gases that expand when heated which is sometimes used for similar projects.
Any imput is welcome!
