Sort of. You could probably get enough out of it for lights and maybe an appliance, but eventually if you’re using a lot you’ll hit a power consumption ceiling where the water pressure even with the valve wide open is insufficient to turn the generator. In case you don’t know, as demand increases the windings of a generator (any generator) get harder to turn.
You could cheat a little and have the water turn a big heavy flywheel that in turn turns the generator, it would be slow to start up but more resilient to demand spikes once it’s up to speed.
There’s also the noise any of it would make turning and vibrating but that can be future you’s problem too.
You sure future you isn’t expecting current you to do all that learning stuff? Could be a bit awkward when your timelines inevitably converge and you both find out neither of you did what both of you could’ve done. Also,
From experience, I know that future me won’t be expecting shit from what will be past me then. Past me is a dumbass and we both know it. So I’m not worried.
Yes but that’s future me’s problem. Present me wants to know if the thing OP is suggesting would work now.

Noice. You’re now tagged as “dis dood hydrates” :D
I’m OK with that 😆
Well, there’s one way to find out: make it happen, cap’n! No time like the present, no day like today!
Unfortunately I do in fact pay for my water. Not to mention I lack the technical knowhow.
Looks like you’re faced with a current you problem. Best kick that can down the road for future you to solve, eh?
Oh definitely. I’ll be waiting for future me to learn all that stuff so we can demolish my bathroom. It’s going to be absolutely smashing.

Seems like you two have a good working relationship, I’m sure you’ll both do just fine.
