The water system is a near closed system that just needs to be filled-up occasionally and then mostly the same water is used over and over.

The water pumps are simple mechanical devices on each exercise machine.

The water pumped to the roof just has one generator to turn when it flows down.

Basically, I would use the exercise system to charge DC batteries and have a DC lighting system. Then a single solar panel could also charge the batteries. And small wind turbines are available if there is good wind.

So the drawback to the system as described is that it would be better if combined with other systems. The system is only going to be a successful lap-top-computer charger if there are hours of indoor exercise every day.

However, the system as described does not use batteries but uses a flow of stored water to generate electricity that directly charges a lap-top-computer. So the logic of the system does hold-up to scrutiny.
