Want anti-gravity in your home, there it is. Why does the
water hang inside the glass like that? Because if it fell it would cause
the air above it to become so low in pressure that it would create
a vacuum. So the air, in it's attempt to stay at standard
pressure has enough attractive force to hold the water in place against
the force of gravity. You have done the work once and
created a self perpetuating system in which the water will stay in
that place indefinitely haven't you? If nothing changes in the
system it would last indefinitely, but eventually enough water would
evaporate from the pan so that air could be drawn up into
the glass and the water would fall. Still though do you see the beauty
of this? How much energy is required to hold a certain
quantity of water in the air like that? Yet here it is, free, for a
one time investment.
Ok, so that is a static system, sort of the the rock on
the top of the hill. You can't get any useful energy out of it without
having something moving to do the work right? And if you drop the water
to get what energy you can out of it you have losses
but can get something. Unfortunately you also have to expend more energy
to get the water back up into the glass again if you
want to continue the cycle with it right? Undoubtedly this system,
as depicted above, can't generate any more power than what
you put into it and is good for a conversation piece at best. Or is
it?
What if you tried to get some energy out of it? What would
be the best way to do it? I like a water wheel myself. Consider
the state of the water within the glass. It's water. It's not thinned
out like the air above it. I did this experiment and put a small
tube into the side of the glass just below the surface of the water
near the top of the glass. It isn't hard at all to get water to flow
out of that tube. It is at whatever height you have drawn it to so it
doesn't have to be pumped "up" to the outlet. It is already
there. So it requires much less effort to pump water, from just below
the surface, straight OUT of a container than it does to
pump water UP from a depth doesn't it? The only drawback is that you
would have to use a pump which didn't let air back
into the container while you were pumping it out. As you pump it out
new water circulates into the container from the pan in the
bottom.
What if you made the tank 30' tall? What if you kept the
water level in it at 25'? Then had a 4' pool in the pan at the bottom?
As you pumped the water out of the TOP of the tank it could fall 20'
over a water wheel which is connected to a generator. A
20' water wheel can generate a LOT of power, depending on the water
flow and the size of the generator which is attached to
it. After all, what is a water wheel but a set of levers? Remember
you aren't pumping the water UP 20' either. The air is holding
it there for you already, you are only supplying the energy to pump
it OUT at the desired rate. And again, once the water turns
the wheel it falls back into the pan where it eventually is drawn into
the bottom of the container again..... Maybe this is how
Tesla figured to turn a water wheel with water the wheel pumped to
it's top. So there, maybe you are starting to understand.
This isn't the free energy device I was talking about, that is still
to come. This is a started which may be able to do the job on
it's own. The next ones are even better. keep reading.
