This page shows my attempts to make a power plant powered by idle dwarves filling up pond zones.
Version 1
####### # wall # ###### w floor below waterwheel # Dwww_# D lever-controlled door #.....###### . floor below pond zone ####### _ drain
Result: After charging up for a while, this produces a net 90 power for a few seconds.
Version 2
############### # . . . .Dwww_# # . . . .###### # . . . .Dwww_# # . . . .###### # . . . .Dwww_# ###############
Result: Failed. Only produces net 68 power for a shorter time than the first one.
Version 3
########## # . . . .# # . . . .# # . . . .# # . . . .###### # . . . .Dwww_# ###############
Result: Works for longer than the first version, especially if the dwarves are filling it up as it drains. Produces net 90 power. Not very scalable because of the large number of dwarves required.
Version 4
########## # . . . .# # . . . .# # . . . .#WWW # . . . .#WWW## # . . . .Dwww_# W = Wall with waterwheel above it ###############
Result: Failed. Produces 0 power.
