Selfrunning waterhose water perpetual motion experiment by Tony Hughes

[The Nephew]

Cut my hose to 12' had it tied to a chain link fence with zip-ties, filled my bucket with water, set up my laser line. Can't see the line, will have to wait till later this afternoon when the shade hits that side of the house.
Is everybody else using a laser to get their results?

Here is a link to a picture of a pool that had to be designed to fit the curvature of the earth in order to get it to flow on all sides evenly.

I am going to see if I can find more information about it, but think about this for a minute. If the sides had to be altered to get it to flow, this means that the earth's curvature does alter the height of water over long distances; even in the same container (pool). That means that, theoretically at least, it may be possible to have perpetual water flow in the same container of water. Just as long as the container is long enough that the curvature of the earth comes into play.

If the tube where a mile long, the curvature of the earth would drop by 4 inches. ( based off 10 ft drop for every 30 miles length.)

More magic water that flows uphill.
All of the water in the hose is above the source, so it must be magic water.

So is " level " circular?

Why use a laser for a concept, which has been solved and understood many many centuries ago?

Babylonians, Egyptians, Mayans, ancient Greeks, etc, etc...They all knew the secret....
I think they were using a "Teflon" coated bamboo for their OU hydraulic stuff....

"Selfrunning waterhose water perpetual motion", eh?
Thanks, Stefan, for bringing this to our attention.

Jeeez....
Not surprised, after all it's the 13th century now....
