The amount of electricity for industrial and civil use is generated from large alternating current generators that are powered by conversion machines (hydraulics, steam turbines, etc. . . . ) to give up this conversion process, we can use some sources that do not need any conversion operation from any source of energy such as light, steam, water, etc. into electrical energy, these sources are known as internal energy generation sources. An external power source such as a battery is used to initially supply power to start the alternator and generator. Once the system is started, the battery does not have to supply power to the system.

The battery can then be disconnected and the alternator and electric motor will work together to generate electrical power. The alternator supplies one part of this electrical power to the water transformer and another part to the specified load devices. The power output of the water transformer is used to drive the electric motor as feedback. This self-powered generator uses internal energy and will produce more external energy than internal without relying on an external power source.

For the success of this process, a power source must be built that generates energy with a performance factor greater than one.

A pumped hydro energy storage system and method are disclosed. The system employs a high-density fluid, such as a slurry, to improve power output. In some cases, the fluid is a binary fluid system, with a high-density fluid and a lower-density fluid, such as water. The lower-density fluid flows through the turbine unit of the system, avoiding the need to modify the system to handle the high-density fluid, while achieving improved power output. The system can be configured with one atmospheric reservoir for a higher-density fluid and another one for a lighter-density fluid. Each of them is connected to a pressurized cavity which is filled with the higher-density or lighter-density fluid. The atmospheric tanks may be at the same elevation, or the tank with high density fluid might be higher for increased energy output. For example, the system may be placed on a topographical elevation. The system further includes a fire extinguishing sub-system to utilize the water or lower-density fluid to extinguish fires occurring in the proximity thereof.
