Rental water power

I've had this idea for a while that I tell people about now and again. It requires that you are a renter, have un-metered water and no pesky environment scruples. The idea is to hook up a small water driven electric generator to a sink in the kitchen or bathroom. You could probably run a few things off of it and save some money. At the expense of vast quantities of water, which, because you are a renter, you aren't paying for anyway.

Basically it's a free exploit, anything something is unlimited or free you can probably make or save money because of it, if you abuse it. Of course, if you actually did this (which I do not advocate) you would probably lose your lease after a couple of days.

Anyway, turns out someone made something similar using a shower head.

I'm not impressed with the shower head cause its not hand held.

No reason why it couldn't be on the end of a hose. It is self contained. Not much light from a PR2 though.
