Water will also drive a turbine... you need sufficient flow and pressure. Never heard of a hydro dam?

Your experiment will not work not because it tests a principle you believe to be faulty, but because the test itself is faulty. The water will only contain as much kinetic energy as is supplied via a pump, of which only about 54% can be extracted, in connection with Betz's law. (Which is generally applied to wind, but is also recognized as a principle of fluid dynamics in general. Unless the water is turned into steam as it crosses the face of the turbine, being used to extract latent heat from the turbine itself as it passes, no 'extra energy is generated and thus, only the amount of energy put into the flow and pressure of the water, up to Betz limit, can be extracted. The result is a net loss.

As per the rest of your comment, your attitude is a waste of time and you're starting to come across as a stubborn child with the thinly veiled insulting tone of your commentary and your constant appeals to authority. This will be my last reply to you on this subject.
