Solved how to move water up a mountain without energy

Please see [size=78%]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Boyle[/size]. Your device resembles Robert Boyle's Hydrostatic Paradox.


A siphon needs the output to be at a lower position...

Boyle's device doesn't have extremely low pressure air at the top. The extremely low pressure air pulls the water up in the hose.
Weight drops, the boxes (upper, lower) extend vertically in size and that creates very low pressure air at the top.

Hello George,


I'm not sure how your device accomplishes a low pressure. Using the equation for atmospheric pressure at a different altitude we can calculate the pressure on the liquid exposed to the atmosphere. On the low side, say at sea level, the atmospheric pressure is 14.6959(PSI). At the high side, 1000 ft above sea level, the pressure is 14.1726(PSI).


The page below gives the equation... the equation gives Pascals, you can convert to PSI by multiplying by 1.45037738e-4

The pressure on the high side isn't as low as one would imagine at such a high elevation.


Good luck!!!

I am not going to explain the concept anymore. But thank you for all the thoughts.

Someone asked me a good question: In what condition the lower box moves up (or further down).
