Abstract
An electric generating precipitation collection system comprising a collection tank, a plurality of pipes, a plurality of valves, a piston assembly, and an outlet. The system is configured to collect a liquid, direct the liquid through the pipes and valves to pressurize the liquid with the piston assembly, and eject the pressurized liquid at the outlet. The plurality of pipes and valves are arranged relative to the piston assembly so that a piston can pressurize the liquid in the pipe connected to the outlet. The system may further comprise a generator that converts the force of the pressurized liquid from the outlet into electricity. Further, a collection basin may be included in the system to collect liquid after passing through the generator.
