Selfrunning waterhose water perpetual motion experiment by Tony Hughes

2 inches in 10 feet = 2/120 = 1.67%.  I think 2 inches in 10 feet is too hard to measure accurately.  Maybe the guy thought he was working with a level surface, but wasn't?

Hi all I`m the one who did the experiment. I was thinking after reading the posts maybe i was off with my measurements. I did it again in a different location. I made sure all was level and got the same results. I dont believe I could be off level by 2 inches. I`m going for a foolproof test this weekend, I`m going to go buy a small long clear hose thie weekend and make a water level. I will redo it one more time. If i`m wrong I`ll offer a sincere appology, for i enjoy this site alot. But if I`m not do with info as you will.  Dosnt seem like that big a deal anyway, at the rate of flow above intake, it woulld take alot of pipes to get a strong enough flow to turn a water wheel.

If it's true, it's a very big deal.

after you get to far above intake air will enter hose. Also if you squeeze the end of hose a little it helps to stop air from entering end of hose.

on my second try at this i had the hose rise to only 14 inches above water intake. I tried to curve the hose back into bucket, but could not the flow would stop. I guess it only flows smoothly in a straight line
