I'm wondering an automotive water pump can run in reverse if supplied with pressurized water. If it can, then I could hook up an alternator to its pulley and theoretically get power from it. I'm researching alternative energy and am brainstorming different options to pump water into a storage tank (by windmill most likely), then to take the power from it... be it a water wheel, water pump, whatever. If you know if the pump works in reverse, please let me know. Sorry, not interested in guesses! Thanks!
