What is hydro power, if not this same principle for energy storage. A dam is just a big battery, a water tower a smaller version.
And inefficient or not, harnessing the power instead of just burning the charcoal makes a lot of sense to me.
If you have any idea how I can do this please chime in. Your doubts are duly noted
Been looking at steam engines lately, might take a wee trip out to the museum and see how many enthusiasts are still around these parts.
1 KA steam engine pulls a hundred odd 2 ton wagons loaded with goods up slight grades for hundreds of miles. Used to be my Dads job.
I have no doubt steam will pump some water uphill, just how to do it 'efficiently'.
