The generator has capacitors connected to it. What does a generator need with capacitors? Maybe that unit is a capacitor-start induction motor running from hidden wires, turning the Pelton wheel. Otherwise, that sad Pelton wheel with only six flat blades could not possibly turn a generator with enough force to power the high-speed pump. Almost all of the power in the water stream would be wasted. The whole system would probably put out much less than a tenth of the power fed into it. There's no way it could be over-unity.
