Okay, hear me out, I was just looking at pictures of beavers and thought to myself, what if someone used a beaver dam for hydropower? I mean my first thought is of course that wouldn't work...unless? I mean I know nothing about dam construction or hydropower, so I can't actually disprove this to myself. Why wouldn't this work? Or could it?

    Beaver dams are where beavers keep their food and children, where would you put the turbines?

      Beavers live in the lodge not the dam but still I don't think a beaver dam is gonna hold up a big ass turbine

      I have no idea how beaver dams work, this was pretty much just a shower thought. I assume though the beavers are living in dry areas and the turbines would go in the water where the beavers are not.
