I HAVE AN IDEA

For how to solve the crisis in Ukraine

lol

We get a bunch of jihadists from the middle east and northern caucus regions

And we just import them into the country

to go wild

So now they will kill each other off

win win

Wait a sec.....

Is the European migrant crisis being orchestrated by RUSSIA?!

Nah Russia would send its own people in

But this way if the Jihadis win russia no longer can protect the people there

Easy way to get the sand people into that country

Is just tell em women dont wear burkhas there

And they will swarm like flies

America Alone touched on this issue

Even in countries like Russia, the population would be in a negative growth if not for a very specific demographic boosting the birth rate back up

@Fitzydog oy vey are ya saying that this is a RUSSIAN CONSPIRACY??????

Yes, I believe I am. <:kermit_spree:378719408438116352>

can ya believe putin has ties to russia?

How can it not have loss in energy

if you have to pump it back up it would seem like it would take the same energy to pump it back up as it created to come down?

SOMEONE WHO KNOWS Physics PLZ RESPOND

That's the point. It's a battery, not free energy

But how can it create a surplus to light peoples houses?

<:what:382980756139409409>

Like the amount of energy it would take to pump the water back up would be the same as it created to come down. So how could there be a surplus after you pump it back up?

Or do i just not get it???

There is no surplus

You use solar or wind power to pump it up, and then when it's not windy, you can drain the reservoir and there's a hydro plant at the bottom to recollect that energy

The surplus comes from having too much wind, or too much sunlight.

And not enough demand at that time.

If you're already supplementing your power needs with, say, a coal plant, that can't be throttled down or up on a whim, like a natural gas plant, then you have a surplus of power on your power grid.

Hydro power is great because you can just not use the water, if there's not enough consumption.

You can't just save up sunlight or wind, for later use.

ahhhh ok thanks team

This is a simpler version of the idea. No need to build a dam and water turbine.

Pump water out of the "eggs" with the excess energy, let it rush in (passing through turbines) when needed.

Still qualifies as pumping water up with the excess energy.
