want to fucking prove your intelligence? My basement is flooding because the powers out. Ways to generate 115v at home for a sump pump?

Shit, powers out and you're on /sci/ ?

Anyways, McGuyver we aare not. What you need is a generator, natch.

I think the smart thing to do is to find a way to pump it out mechanically rather than try to generate power

1. Wait until it becomes a high enclosed pressure zone.
2. Siphon it like a gas tank.

Alternatively, get a hand pump.

just make sure you don't kill yourself without proper ventilation.

All you gotta do is build yourself a nuclear reactor in your garage/basement and you get free power FOR LIFE!

Instead op you should see this as an opportunity to make money. Using the water that is flooding your basement start a hydrolysis reaction and let the hydrogen increase the pressure of your basement. Turn on your oven and remove the pilot light. Leave your wife in the house to make it more plausible to your insurance provider. Say you where out for groceries. House blows up. Literally profit. Use the money to buy a cheap mcmansion in miami.

Thorium is everywhere you find rare earths, shit they were mining this stuff back in the 1800s and junking it because it wasn't gold or cadmium or whatever.
