We need power! A modest garden trampoline kind of size for reference. 3.5 meter diameter and 4m tall. 3.5m d and 3m high has a cylinder volume of 28.863m³ This equals 28863 kg/f acting on a piston 0.17m diameter generates a pressure of 1808 psi. A 3kW hydraulic motor generator requires 1500 psi at a rate of 6 GPM which equates to 22.7 liters per minute. A 0.17 meter diameter piston with a height of 1m has a volume of 22.7 liters. Therefore we have 60 seconds runtime. A two tower system gives us a capacity factor of 0.997 allowing for one day per year downtime for maintenance. This is the equivalent of a solar panel system of 12 kW with a capacity factor of 0.25. You can also put a solar panel system on top so 12kW + 3 kW = 15 kW from a 3.5 X 7 meter footprint which is 24m². Having fun yet?
