Stationary Aluminum bars are induced to electrical conducting by internal movement of the magnetic field on the center axis and through aluminum bars, whereby the magnetic field cuts across the electrical conducting means in a uniform direction when the magnetic field is rotated, inducing a unidirectional electric signal in the Aluminum conductor bars thus completing the field. Electrical current is transferred from the exterior shell by means of electrical wire connected to the circuit path of the bars. | 01-12-2012 |

When the reservoir, buried underground, is full, excess rain water is discharge through an overflow pipe into a percolation system which leaches the excess rain water into the soil.
