Water Pressure Power

Energy created via water pressure through a coupling from a main water line.
It's possible that hundreds of couplings with a mini turbine inside could generate enough energy to run a home directly to batteries.

Your idea is interesting. However, the friction of the turbine would decrease the pressure in the line. So it would ultimately sap the energy from the pressure.

If the pressure was gravity flowing downhill, then it could work. As the pressure builds, it reaches a turbine, which slows it down, and the cycle starts again to the next turbine.

Or ... you're talking about using a hydro-electric turbine to generate water.
