Continuously Flowing Water Theory

[Ghost]

It's not that hard Microcontroller.

Just open your eyes while you watch the video.

What you think it works? Have you tried building it?

The fact that there are people who believe that thing works without a pump and power supply is shocking to me.

Shocking.

My favorite one is the one with the magnet, the steel ball, and the wheel. I showed it to some high-level scientists during a lull at a conference a month or so ago, and they started trying to explain why it worked, too.

Thanks for opening a thread on this.
Now if this really works how would I go about building this?
What kind of materials should I use?
What measurements should I use?
A blue print/schematics with all the proper measurements/pressure would be great.
Seems to be a lot easier than building a Bessler wheel.

   Ghost,
  If something like this works, they would both be interesting. Some of this would apply to
Bessler. One example would be the water supply, it would be pumped up hill. If it flows downhill, then it's draining.
With something like this, plastic food storage containers could be modified. Plus they're cheap   

decided to edit my comments to simplify them.

With the drawing, the static heads are shown with 2 to 1 ratios. With engineering, I am going on the basis of 15hg's of vacuum has 1/2 the force of atmospheric air pressure.
This would mean that regardless of the amount of water, a static head of equal surface area would have a 2:1 relationship. This would mean that the atmosphere could pump water up to twice it's height (close to it anyway).
With the static head on the left, all the water in the reservoir would not matter, only what is above the tube it's supplying with water.
And with a static head in an upper reservoir, if the water is allowed to drain out on the atmospheric side, it should try to increase the vacuum slightly. As a reslut of this, the supply side should pump water to compensate.
A vacuum gauge would verify vacuum to lift but isn't necessary. Marking lines where the static head should be should give a good indication.
To test something like this, the supply side could have water supplied to it. To maintain it's static head, a hole on the side of the reservoir would not let the water level increase.
This would help to show that water could be moved this way. After that, it would be up to someone how much effort they would want to put into it.

In case this hasn't been said..."the same vacuum you are depending on to lift the water will keep it from descending ."

[johnny874]

not your concern Chris.
if you knew anything. you would have noticd that the drain is on the side open to the atmosphere.
So, yes it can work.
