insane_alien Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 because the water is moving. you can get it to go uphill by converting kinetic energy to potential energy. much the same thing happens when a skateboarder uses a quarter pipe to get some air time.
Cyclonebuster Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 I thought Force1 at pipe inlet is greater than Force2 at pipe outlet.
insane_alien Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 yes, the pressure is greater at 1 than 2 because of depth. but that isn't the cause.
John Cuthber Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I can't be bothered to look at the vids. Is the bloke taking a bucket of water up a hill? -1
insane_alien Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 nah its a sloping pipe in moving water.
Cyclonebuster Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 I can't be bothered to look at the vids. Is the bloke taking a bucket of water up a hill? Correct it is moving uphill. The video proves it. A pressure differential is created.
D H Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 So? Do you think you have found a flaw in the laws of physics? Hint: You haven't. Google the phrase "dynamic pressure" to see why.
CaptainPanic Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 So? Do you think you have found a flaw in the laws of physics? Hint: You haven't. Google the phrase "dynamic pressure" to see why. I don't believe that Cyclonebuster actually attempts to point out a flaw in the laws of physics. He's merely trying to find out what the physics are behind his "trick". And I believe that this has been answered by now.
Cyclonebuster Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 So how far uphill can I move it this way?
insane_alien Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 depends how fast the water is moving relative to the pipe. look up bernoullis equation. this will allow you to calculate it for a specific velocity.
Cyclonebuster Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 What about cold deep water? How cold of water can I move uphill?
insane_alien Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 as long as it isn't ice you can do it.
CaptainPanic Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 The density hardly changes, so it doesn't matter how deep or how cold the water is. A certain velocity will translate into a certain height above the water level. Look up the equations and new words that you learned in this thread... You cannot learn physics without studying, I'm afraid. You really have to put a bit of effort

You really have to put a bit of effort I did do the effort and built the pipe to show the naysayers! Watch the video it proves it.

insane_alien Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 yep, it'll still work. and you should specify what temperature scale you are using. i'm going assume you mean degrees farenheit as 90*C water isn't usually found in nature. we'd preffer it if you used celsius here as it is the most common measurement scale globally anda lot of our membership is international.

I mean in F not C correct! Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedWhat if the surface water is 90 degrees and the water at depth is 50 degrees? I am looking for an average temperature of 70 degrees F..
insane_alien Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 it'll work even if the lower water is at 32*F (0*C) and the upper water is 212*F(100*C). if the water is liquid, it will work.
Cyclonebuster Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Can you show me the math proving it works? My math is very basic. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedOr is the video proof enough?
h4tt3n Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 You might want to look at the "hydraulic ram", which uses the kinetic energy of streaming water to pump a smaller volume of water to quite great heights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram Cheers, Mike
Cyclonebuster Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks I have heard of them before but I have never seen one. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/Hydraulic_Ram.gif
John Cuthber Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Now I have watched the vid. I wish I hadn't bothered. With the right casting and costume "someone carrying a bucket of water up a hill" would have been much more fun to watch.
J.C.MacSwell Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Now I have watched the vid. I wish I hadn't bothered. With the right casting no costume "someone carrying a bucket of water up a hill" would have been much more fun to watch. fixed!

With the right casting and costume "someone carrying a bucket of water up a hill" would have been much more fun to watch. I challenge you to do the test. You will see it works! It cost me about 15 bucks.
insane_alien Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 there's no need, we know that you can raise water by using the kinetic energy of the water itself.
