[QUOTE="rootone, post: 5397921, member: 507373"] An analogy is the idea that you can have a water tank in your roof, and have pipes that transport the water to 'Earth' level. The flow of water can do useful things while moving down, and on a grand scale a hydroelectric dam can do even more useful things. Energy can be converted into different forms, potential energy is one of them. Analogies are never perfect, but it's a way to look at it. [/QUOTE]
