Capillary Energy Source

ordered pipes and capillary tubing today, says it has a 2-4 week delivery time...

Have the acrylic tubes, waiting for capillary tubing, which should be in the next 3-4 days.  The lower water tank is almost complete it is pending the arrival of the capillary tubing to be installed in the acrylic tubing.

Maybe it is already mentioned, but if the capillar effect is forcing the water to a higher level, you don't need air pressure to force the water to exit the capillar. Use instead another water tank that has a higher water level and connect those two tanks together with a tube at the bottom so the pressure from the higher waterlevel will help the already raised water inside the capillar to exit the capillar and onto the higher water tank again. The lower watertank is sealed so the pressure from the higher watertank must exit the capillar. A very efficient capillar is a 1cm diameter tube filled with cotton threads (Like a wick). Add a little extra pressure, and the wick will overflow and poor the water into the higher water tank.

Then you have a circuit that "last forever"...maybe it isn't that easy, but it's allmost free to try.
