would this work ?

ok so i drew this today
question is will it work ?

if so why why not ?
not mentioned in the picture rotating thing is attached to generator for electricity

I believe it won't work professor Brain, the weight of the water on the left side wont let the valve to open, if it opens the water will flow to the right tank to equalize the weight of the water.

but the vacum from the hose/pipe is strong so im guessing that with the force it comes down with it will keep the rightside water heavy and the vacume keeps the left side water Lighter.

Why do it anyway, when the source engine doesn't support flowing water. It only supports a set height ... oh, you mean in reality? What they said then. I might come with my own energy saving solutions then.

Here's an idea. Use solar energy

Well, I made an idea. I modified a wind turbine which would increase kWh efficiency by 42%, thus increasing the profit. I considered weight vs. stress, expenses, labor, lifetime, material and a profit over time to life expectancy ratio. Values are in metric and expenses in USD. Unfortunately the scanner is broken so I had to take pictures of the concept with my cellphone camera.

Conclusion: A normal wind-turbine has a life of 47 years by average, with an overall profit of 142 000$ per turbine until "death" - the turbine I came up with has a life expectancy of around 39 years, with an overall profit (Alias more electricity) of 185 340$ per. The overall value of materials are:

Normal: 540 000 USD (Unmodified V47)
Mine: 573 290 USD (Modified)

It would however require slightly more repairing and fixing. Untweaked idea.

Further calculations says it's waaaaaay to unpredictable.

@ Brain The problem is OBVIOUSLY: the height of water is the only thing that has influence on the pressure at the bottom
The formula is: g*ρ*h = P (pressure)
the Gravity constant (g) is usually counted as 9,81
Rho(ρ) of water is about 1000kg/m³
while the height isnt written down, i use 2meters as approx.

then we have: 9,81*1000*2 ≈ 19600pascal
1bar = 100 000 pascal

so the pressure on one side would be 0,196 bars, while on the other side it would be less, just try to make this system work with the "wheel" being taller than the other, impossible <3, the vaacum effect would not work


@ HolyCrapDudexD
solar energy is not totally clean, to make wafers you pollute a bit, i've worked with this
Look up REC Monocrystallic or Multicrystallic (REC SiTech and ScanWafer) in Glomfjord(where I live)


@Zemog, at this time 23:55, i cannot be arsed looking through all the info, and learning about wind turbines have you seen Nicholas Teslas wind turbine? with no rotors?

IM CLEVER TOO! I WORKED OUT THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF ZEMOGS ANUS! ITS 81.681409KM!

Pfft. You wouldn't be able to do that without me telling you that the radius was 14km(2)

Giant enemy crab.

if a circle has a diameter of 1, what would its circumference be? (BASIC maths)

Are you talking about the Tesla turbine? Because I don't recall him ever making a wind turbine. O_O

Link me.

It's 00:00... NOW!

Ohohoh! I didn't know Tesla attempted to invent the... DEATH RAAAAAY (1930's movie poster text)

i am VERY sorry, tesla turbine, as i told you it is late, and i did not finish eating my watermelon =/ i threw it at the football field, i ate most of it, eating watermelons without slicing it up is HARD!

3.141LOTSAOTHERRANDOMNUMBERS

Its diameter*pi
Or for radius its radius*2*pi

Now in the future. With a lot of billion $$$ would this be accomplishable and would it work. Its only based on average science knoledge!

I think the steam would turn back to water on the way up??

because it would be so low in the ground the water pressure would be greater than the steams (i think) And the steam would travel straight up. All you may get is a few shitty lil bubbles like when you fart in the bath...

Do you think that the earth's core would heat the water? And what do you think will be the cost of digging a chamber under water ti the core of the earth?

Oh thats easy! Just hire a demoman, a heavy, a pyro and a scout
