Gravity makes the water go up?

Why? Water is everywhere and it flows downhill because of gravity, in rivers all over the world. Just redirect it to flow through a turbine, the turbine blades turn, and that produces electricity...

Did you even read the article I posted?

Seems all we do is store the potential energy, and aren't actually "generating" it.

If water is everywhere, then why are we pumping it to higher reservoirs?

I am building my own system similar to that, and it will help power my off grid house 3/4 of the year. I'm not gonna call it a "gravity" system though..

That's cool. What will you be dropping? And how will you get it to the height from which you drop it?

I meant i'm building a hydro turbine setup. With a storage pond at the landing area at the top of the hill, about 1-150ft elevation above my place. Been collecting and plan on rewiring old fisher & paykel washing machine smart drive motors, and putting pelton wheels right inside the same drum too.
Gonna have 3 washing machine generators in my hydro power plant shed, and can have all 3 running when its raining a lot. I'm even going to be making my shut off valves with old drill motors and water faucets, controlled by.. nm I'll just post videos of what i'm copying, lol.

I keep looking at peoples free energy designs using gravity alone though, and its all bogus. The gravity storage on the other hand does look pretty cool, and I could see it being something I could harness.
Say I spend a week during the summer hauling large blocks up top, and then let them go down a track one at a time the rest of the year...
