 lol same it needs alot of work and I'm not sure it will work well enough for what I intend. Basically the idea is to use passive solar heating panels to heat water and make it travel upwards from a pool in a lower elevation to a higher one. Do that a few times and then use a slide connecting the highest pool to the lowest one. The slide then has water generators. The main problem will be to figure out how to make the passive solar water heater panels work. I hope they won't need a water pump since that would defeat the purpose. There are also some passive solar heater panels that use long tubes filled with some gases that expand when heated which is sometimes used for similar projects. 

Any imput is welcome!
