A Wick manifold has a nice ring to it. the capillary action would cause the siphon effect if the capillary manifolds liquid is higher.

I think it would work. Nice work FE.

lol no you nice work

anyway i think your idea just might work and i'd like to see it in real life. doesn't look too hard to build.

come to think of it i don't think you need a one way flow valve. just make the main water pipe longer towards the bottom of the water tub.

EDIT:
the air vacuum is a great idea to hold water up outside water level inside a pipe! this is why i don't think the one way flow valve is necessary and will probably cause a drag in the system.

to play it safe and prevent back flow of the water I'll keep the one way valve in mind, for now, if the concept works I could easily scale it up to make a self functioning Kelvin Generator to produce high voltage. I think that I would use Kelvin's Generator because it has no moving parts, they could be hooked in series and or parallel depending on the current need.

thanks for the compliment and happy hunting!
