1. This sounds like a workable project based on the following premise:

• That it is simple, of low cost ( approximately USD20,000.00. Ex-factory Malaysia) and taking up small footprint (5m x 5m)
• That the targeted and potential market sector is clear and huge (remote farms worldwide)
• That competition is kept at bay due to its localized, decentralized nature (as opposed to Hydro and Wind)
• Maintenance costs of the set up is minimal (materials wear and tear; e.g. piping, sensors, wiring cables etc.)
• Case in point, in Malaysia cost of using generator set (a norm in remote villages) is about 1.5x that of purchasing electricity from TNB, the National Power Grid.
• That the comparative ROI for the various setups are as follows:
  i. Solar 6 years
  ii. Wind 10 years
  iii. Hydro 15 years
  iv. Gravity 1- 3 years

2. A survey of regional tariff cost are as follows:

i. Philippines USD0.18/kWh
ii. Singapore SGD0.13/kWh (USD0.095/kWh)
iii. Malaysia USD0.08/kWh
iv. Australia USD0.23 to 0.33/kWh
v. China USD0.08 to 0.091/kWh
vi. Europe USD0.22 to 0.34/kWh
vii. Denmark USD0.54/kWh
viii. Hawaii USD0.40/kWh
ix. California USD0.30/kWh

3. Provided the patent is successful, end game is to package the patent together with a viable business plan and solicit a conglomerate for further scaling.
