A power generation device includes a tower forming top and bottom reservoirs and a plurality of vertically arranged compartments between the top and bottom reservoirs. Each compartment is separated from the next lower compartment by a partition that defines a discharge opening. A rotary mechanism is arranged in each compartment and includes a rotary shaft carrying receptacles having openings set in different orientations. The shaft is coupled to a dynamo. Water is deposited in the top reservoir and is allowed to flow downward into the next lower compartment through the discharge opening for filling into the receptacles to cause rotation of the shaft, which in turn drives the dynamo to generate electrical power. Water flowing downward into the bottom reservoir can be selectively pumped back to the top reservoir for maintaining cyclic operation of the power generation device.
