nonameyet Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 I’m thinking of something like a silo that would be placed in the middle of a body of a water when the water level gets too high it would pump water into the large volume silo. Now the silo’s could be built in space orbit the planet and be connected to nano carbon tubes then feed the water to the silo by siphoning up when the vacuum on the silos is released, filling the silo and decreasing the water level. Would this be feasible if we had no choice with global warming as a preventative measure to stopping global flooding, if not what makes this impossible now?(besides nano carbon not being ready, and obvious fact we should be trying to save the planet). ps not trolling.

Hello and welcome. Seems you are a bit of a dreamer. Perhaps you should either study some real Tech or write science-fiction. There was a series of stories about a superstrong cable dangling from a geostationaary satellite carrying an elevator as a way of getting into space. I can't remember the author but think it was either Asimov or Clarke. With regard to your siphon, the theoretical maximum lift of a siphon is the height of a water column supported by the atmosphere, ie about 32 feet. For practical applications see the charts in the pdf. https://scdhec.gov/sites/default/files/media/document/Temporary Siphons.pdf
