We use water pressure to turn turbines to generate electricity. Is there a method of harnessing electrical pressure (amperes) two create more electrical power?

We harness water pressure to turn turbines to run generators. What if we could harness the voltage pressure in wires to perform a similar conversion. That is, recycle the voltage as it travels in a circuit.

You are confusing terms, amperes are a measure of current - charge per unit time. The closest thing to pressure in electrical terms is voltage, that is what drives current. Can we harness amperes? yes, we already do. Can we use it to make more electrical power? no, that would violate conservation of energy.

Using current to cause motion is what's known as a motor. Yes. the motor could turn a generator but because of friction and heating in the wires, you'd get out less power than you put in. It's not very economical.

You are proposing to expend energy to create energy anew. This is a classic definition of a perpetual energy source, something scientists have discarded over 100 years ago.
IT DOESN'T WORK

Yes , there are win turbine 's that act like very large win mills that generate elect and guess what ,the elect CO. buy what thay generator
your welcome
