Good day.

On top of a garden window I have, rain puddles on top and I placed a rag strip hanging over the edge.  Works good; it wicks and drips to the point of emptying the puddle dry. Sort of a wick siphon.  [ Image 1 below ]

Can a wick pump water high within reason, to the point T and dripping at a lower wick point E well above the surface S ?  [ image 2 above ] 

What are the limits ?  Wick capillary properties ?  Has anyone done it ?  Is there a convenient type of wick material that is recommended/optimal for higher reach ?
