The article says that the tower is a "self powered sustainable system including generators" and hydroelectric power. It also claims the tower would be disconnected from the grid. I wonder how many generators they expect to use?

Ah, that is simple. You see, the tower is also an over unity system! I mean, that is no less believable than the rest of the design, right?

Their theory seems to be that they could put a turbine into the water park to generate electricity. Which is obviously nonsense, and a great illustration of why open-ended "design competitions" like this are useless.

Duh, you just use the power generated from the water to pump the water right back up to the top. And to mine crypto. And there's unlimited free cotton candy. Because a 12 year old came up with the concept.
