Abstract

In this age of global warming, solar cells, and wind power, this invention utilizes incoming utility water pressure to generate electricity. Each time the faucet is turned on, the grass is watered, and even when the toilet is flushed, electricity will be generated. The idea of hydroelectric power generated in the home, multi-family or commercial use is the basis for this invention.

Claims

1. The use of incoming residential/commercial utility water for hydroelectric electricity generation.

2. The idea of combining two previously existing components, a water pump and a generator, into a power source to be used exclusively in the context of utility water at the residential or commercial level.

3. All feasible variations in designs &

sizes of water pumps, generators, and inflow water pipes exclusively for residential/commercial use in hydroelectric electricity generation.
