Seesaw Water Engine idea

(This video uses captions). Harnessing the capillary action of water, a hinged capillary tube that can open a section to let its water out is used to produce a seesaw motion, which can generate work, for examples, stepping water to higher levels or moving a turbine.

Why not think of an idea using osmotic pressure??? Sea (salt) water and River (not salt) water. I'm a membrane specialist. I know all of this.

@CarlosWever Ooooh! Awesome suggestion. Now I won't be able to sleep well until I come up with something. I love it. Thanks.

this also wont work, because at 0:22 tube will simply wont open. the same capillary that forced water into the tube will act like a glue, prevent water from leaving the tube. to push water out u will need the same amount of energy that u gained.

i think it is related to potential fields. gravity, attraction of molecules(which is basis of capillary effect), magnetic fields are all potential fields. it means that it is a zero sum game.

@efrow Assume for a moment that the water cools down by a small amount, and that the energy transfer from the water's temperature is what permits the motion of this experiment. It would then still be a zero sum game, but the motion would take place, no?

This guy has no Mechanical mind at all.. Every single one of these vids will not work, And he always thinks water just jumps from the ground to the roof when u stick a single tube in it lol.. all ur doing is displacing the water a bit. not moving it nearly enough to climb to the top of a tube with any reasonable length to even work. Uggg. Un-Educated Ideas just make more Un-Educated ideas. Ideas with actual science backing them tend to work.

@AmericanExpresss I'm getting the impression that you don't know what capillary tubes are. I suggest a search, even on YouTube, regarding capillarity. For example, there is a video of a capillary experiment done in space. As we deal more and more with nano technologies, knowledge about capillary forces will become more important.

@AmericanExpresss Why are you being soo rude with him ?! As I read your comments that you wrote on his videos, you're the one that seems ignoring Jurin's physic law. He never mentioned "Perpetual Motion" And soo what if he does ? at least he keeps trying and being creative. He seems much more educated than you because his videos have logical principe combined togetter. Why discouraging people to find free energy instead of encouraging them ? Keep up the work adanieltorres (Y)

[adanieltorres]

@llichtveld You seem to have your decision and are only making arguments that lead to it, ignoring the ones that don't. Are you suggesting that by water going up a capillary tube, not heat energy is changed to kinetic? And that by moving the air in the container, the tube is not causing any friction? And that by bumping to a stop, no heat is produced in the tube itself, the bumper, or the air? That the sound waves are produced with free energy? I'm sure not. So, energy is coming from...

[llichtveld]

@adanieltorres When it bumps it is only transferring kinetic energy, not heat energy. Anyway, it is irrelevant, there already exist engines that can extract energy from slight temperature differences (sterling engine) and I don't think that was the purpose behind your idea. You were dealing with extracting energy from capillary action, but that is not possible because it takes the same amount of energy to pull the water out of the tube as it took to get it in there.

@llichtveld Like I said, hydrophobic coating could be used in *parts* of it. If you mix a hard material with soft material, you sometimes get an even harder material (e.g., steel by adding carbon). In this case, the top that opens may have nano sized points of hydrophobia, for example. The machine, by moving the air, or by making sound when it bumps, is necessarily transferring heat to the air, for example. But going further, your paradigm of heat transfer is countered with planetary motion.
