If I can move water with electricity, I could also distribute water where I want without concerning about moving mass in a traditional way. Think of two parallel conductors. Between them there is a droplet of salt water. If I add current, AC or DC, the droplet will be forced away due to the magnetic field that builds up.
If I can use this method to move mass to one side of a gravity wheel I want, I don't have to take care of how much energy I need to move mass upwards - or do I?
I want to find out how much electric energy I need to move - let's say 1ml salt water 1m up compared to the potential energy I gain with 1ml salt water at 1m higher altitude.
An experiment:
So I made two parallel copper rods and placed them on the surface of salt water. I have only DC power supply at the moment, so the electrolysis started. I could however see the water flowing slowly in one direction away from the power supply connectors along the parallel copper track. This means it is possible to move salt water directly with electric power.
I thought maybe this could be used to power a gravity wheel...hopefully with excess energy...
