    I mean, not in the sense that they’re trying to do it, but that’s ultimately what drives hydroelectric dams.

      Sure, but those are completely different approaches. Dams have the advantage that they have a much larger capture area for water and that they can accelerate the water beyond the 10 m/s terminal velocity of raindrops.
