Capillary Energy Source

your device confused me a lot, when its a very simple set up
by capillary tube with capillary glass tubes, im assuming you just mean multiple, long, and small in diameter glass tubes
your word choice can be tricky sometimes, apologies

what i meant was, you put a lot of emphasis on pressure variants and how fluids will always flow in one specific direction, and from that i interpreted it was a one way process, or that it would at least get stuck in one chamber, it just seemed like a logical fallacy

i am not sure if your using the wicking effect, or exploiting differences in air pressure

i guess both in combination?


its a good idea, but its been done before...

Just an update.  Purchasing equipement

Acrylic lower water tank, Acrylic 100mm pipes, and glass capillary tubing.

When all of it comes in I will put it together and post a video.

My plan is to use a small bike pump to add air pressure to the lower bottome tank via a small air valve I plan to install.  If water comes out of the top of the capillary tubing and not the top of the open air pipe that should prove that it works.  If it does I will order an upper trough that will allow the water to fall back down the open air pipe.

@ Exxcomm0n

I have read your thread and agree.  That is why I will build it and post a video.

Have the lower tank just have to assemble now, still have to cut the sides of the lower tank at 45degree angles, so i have more surface area to glue the 6mm acrylic glass together.
