4 meters is a nice big drop. Nice amount of energy available, if the water is going into a turbine, twirling is definitely more efficient. So a larger amount of water could be pushing and smaller amount up to a higher point. Either (a) two mechanical pumps, the larger pump driving the smaller pump, or (b) it could be an electric turbine driving a smaller electric pump. Possible (c) a device that acts like (a) or (b) that I am un aware of, but follows the conservation of energy plus friction.

End result, a small amount of energy lost in heat, smaller amount of potential energy but water at a higher level.

From what has been presented, that looks to possibly be what happens.

/edit. Ah yes, forgot to add. Purpose. Could be energy from effluent water being used to draw up a clean supply of water, possibly oxygenated water for fish at higher level ?

Just a wag :-)

Trying to get money transferred. Fees and banks not being helpful. Green light given to buy CSPR's and other stuff.

TJ, where in China is little Jack's 'twirly thing' located? Was affected by the recent flooding?

Central China begins clean-up after record floods but other other cities brace for typhoon
