Hydroelectric station for producing electricity, has riser pipe into which water flows upwards and is stored in tank for being conveyed into descent pipe to create waterfall to actuate turbine to operate generator for producing electricity

摘要

The station has a pipe (1) vertically installed in a high rise building against a steeply sloped hill or a high gantry, where the station operates in closed circuit. Water flows upwards into the riser pipe, and is stored in an upper tank (2) for being conveyed into a descent pipe (3) to create waterfall to actuate a turbine (4) to operate a generator for producing electricity. Water at outlet of the turbine is sent into a lower tank (5). A piston pushes water contained in a cylinder into the riser pipe by a hydraulic cylinder. The tanks regulate water circulating in the pipes.
