Here we go people, need some help. Here is my problem.
*Build a device that can raise a certain volume of water to a higher elevation using only the gravitational potential energy of the water*
+The only source of energy allowed in the movement of the water is the potential energy in the water due to the Earth's gravitational attraction and the atmoshperic pressure inherited to the test site.
+The final resting place of the water must be 6 inches above the original resting place.
+The original resting place for the water may not be more than 3 feet from the floor
+Any type of mechanism is acceptable as long as there is no source of energy in the mechanism that contributes in lifting the water.
+Transfer must be completed in 5min
+The machine cannot be touched once water is inserted into the device.
+The introduction of the water may unbalance the system, but the design of the system must eventually effect transfer.
Any ideas?? Or have you done this before? I was thinking syphon? I'm not to sure. There must be an easy way! THERE MUST BE! Thnx
