You would put the dams close to each other, so there's almost no water on the intermediary reservoirs.
There's an obvious improvement, where you put them so close that you need no water at all between them...
Lol this is the 1887 version of tech bros reinventing railroads.
What's more efficient than one person driving a car? Carpooling!
In fact, if we made the car driverless it could hold even more customers.
Although we probably want to make designated roads where only driverless cars can go. That makes coordination and safety far easier.
We probably want signals specific to these roads that only the driverless cars need to be concerned with.
And you know what has lower rolling resistance than rubber on roads? Metal. If we make the wheels out of metal we would get insane fuel efficiency
Except now that rips up the road so we need to pave the road with metal too.
That's actually expensive so maybe we just pave directly underneath where the wheels go
If we're going to do all of this we need more passengers. Maybe we attach cars together and run them on a schedule? That should work for the most people?
Maybe we can run all of this on electricity too! No gas needed! With our metal wheels that's some insanely low energy costs!
Dam but wide
I guess the right word here is thick.
