Not much use for that in a car just now.

The old Fisher & Paykel Gentle Annie washing machines can be rigged up to be a water pump and electricity generator combined.

Interesting technology I would love to see a working model. I understand better if I can get hands on.

Here is a working model you can get your hands on smaller scale and was in production 10 years ago

Sounds to me like you need to have a couple dozen bell ringers on hand to generate electricity. I'll pass.

It certainly works. Northfield mountain in Mass is an example of a water based version. Question is why? Northfield was because of nukes powering all night with less load. Without nukes I don’t see the purpose. As renewable stuff comes on line the solar at least gets made when people want it.

Perpetual energy does not work. Law of Physics.

Did you read it? Not a perpetual motion machine, just an old school way of storing energy. Nothing special.

This would absolutely work to store energy. I read a non-technical article a few years ago on a related topic. The article talked about storing energy as inertia of high speed spinning disks in ultra-low friction environment. Put energy in, spin disk faster. Take energy out, draw energy off of spinning disk. The key is to minimize loss of energy
