Domestic water wheels

I wonder how much electricity you would generate if you connect a small hydro electric power generator to your tap? Would it be better for the environment? It would probably be cheaper, unless you have a water meter. It seems a bit wasteful for the water companies to clean all that water and pump it to your house only for you to leave your tap running to power a light bulb or two.

Maybe its possible to have small hydro electric power generators on all your waste pipes? The problem being they could get clogged up easily unless they were cleverly designed. Maybe a wrap of tiny water wheels around the down pipe may do it. Small turbines on your heating system could get some energy back? Small turbines on your pipes before the water exits your taps my be beneficial, but may tempt people to leave their taps running?

Number two. Perpetual motion.

Polar energy bank.

A very tiny generator that may create the tiniest amount of power, but maybe if you have enough of them something might happen? I don't suppose it's any better than solar power, except, maybe, it works in the dark....

A sequence of magnets around an axle, each with their positive side pointing to the north pole. This side is drawn to the north by the the tiniest amount until it is pushed away by the negative side, then in turn this happens to the next magnet, creating motion. I may need to be in a vacuum, or at least have very good bearings

I think maybe it has already been invented and can be found in barometers but i'm not sure....


Number one. The Larch.


Cheese on Toaster.

Patent number 1.

So imaging a toaster, on it's side with two CD player style draws that move in and out at the touch of a button. Underneath the drawers are two leaves of silicone that protect the lower element from crumbs and tip them off when the drawers are ejected. Simply put your bread with cheese on, on the drawers, press go and after two and a quarter minutes, lovely cheese on toast! Mmmmnn...
