US Patent No. 7,843,099 B2


This illustration of a water pumping system is designed for California's aqueducts. It begins with a Hollow Pump™ to lift water over the chosen elevation. Hollow Hydroelectric Generators™ capture the falling water to recycle energy used by the pump. The electricity generated may be returned directly to the pumps or routed to the electric power grid.
