Capillary Energy Source

[Azorus]

Can someone else help Creativity better understand how it works, my attempts are failing.

Would a proof of concept drawing help Creativity?

I'm sorry your idea does not work the way you want it to..

Capillary energy source uses the capillary effect to raise the surface of the water in the capillary pipe.  When you increase the air pressure in the lower water tank it displaces water out of the top of the capillary tube because of the raised surface, and the fact that higher pressures move towards lower air pressure.  I am sorry that you don't understand what has been written and you keep referring back to your failed experiment.

Those that understand that the upper trough is not sealed, thus creating a lower air pressure, can understand that water should flow out and down the open pipe. 

You see unlike your failed wicking experiment where you had a sealed system, this one is only sealed on the lower water tank allowing a diferencial of air pressure.  But thanks for your coments they keep the thread going.

I do understand what u try to achieve and i do speak about the isomorf situation. let me draw it for u so u will see it too. The only difference is that u use positive pressure in the sealed tank below. By my experiment i proved that it takes the same amount of work (the same pressure gradient) to rise a water to a given level, whether it is a capillary pipe or not. Capillary do rises the water level to its top, but to get even the tiniest water drop off the top u will need to rise the equivalent of the water column hydrostatic pressure in a normal pipe. Doesn't matter if i rise pressure from under or reduce from above, that's just technical difference. By my experiment i have not tried to get water from one pipe to the other one, i tried to test if the pressure required to get the water off the capillary top is lower than the pressure to rise the water in the normal pipe to the given level .

If u r still not convinced then do a simple experiment, u just need a glass of water and two pipes. Place a wick in one of them. Connect both pipes on the top so u will have equal pressure in both of them, then suck some of the air from the pipes. U will see that wick will not start to have water above its end untill he water level in normal pipe wont rise higher than the wick top. Here u have a proof. 10 min test max.

Once again I'm sorry your drawing is inaccurate.  You neglect the capillary effect in your drawing.

I have created a more accurate drawing in paint, so forgive the terrible graphic.

While Creativity is correct that water will rise in both pipes, he once refuses to apply the cappillary effect.

One last thing for you Creativity, how can you have lower air preassure in your tube if it is one system?  I draw this question form your illistration of your experiment.
