Abstract:
An energy facility that generates energy using ballistic optimized hydro-electricity. The facility sends a plurality of specialized balls from a lower storage reservoir to an upper storage reservoir. The balls fall through a drop-down system and into a power generation system with a generator and a turbine. Ballistic impacts of the balls on the turbine generate electricity before the balls are returned to the lower storage reservoir.
