[Stoves] Pico Hydro power generation calculations

[Jeff Davis]

Dear Jim & All,

The power of two AA batteries is truly amazing. For every meal they can
lift 200 lbs of water on to my roof. And if one could use them for three
meals they would be able to lift 600 lbs of water on to the top of my
roof. That’s a lot of work for such a small device.


Truly a miracle,

Jeff
