John Cuthber Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I think you could sell it as the power supply for a "green" electric fence but I don't think it would deliver enough power for anything else much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan2here Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Of course you can cascade waterwheels for as long as you like so it would be better just to do that than use this and a conventional method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Could you reverse the process? Apply a static charge and get water to flow; a pump with no moving parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnF Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Lifter Pump? Doesn't that use a vacuum? I was thinking of something for a submarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Could you reverse the process? Apply a static charge and get water to flow; a pump with no moving parts. yes and No, water can indeed be affected by a static charge, think back to old Chem/Physic demo at school, where you turn on a water tap to a fine stream and then deflect that stream with a charged hair comb. although I`m not sure if it could be employed as a "Pump" per se.

CPL.Luke Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 the light should have induced a slight current, and may have resulted in the initial imbalance, from there I'd imagine it would be exponential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 you can use the effect to make a pump its just not very good for anything though. not too efficient either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan2here Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Think back to old Chem/Physic demo at school, where you turn on a water tap to a fine stream and then deflect that stream with a charged hair comb Our teacher maneged to get the water to go at what seemed like about 40 degrees. She used some sort of white rod that was charged by rubbing it on some fabric. I figgured that if two of thease where used with enough accuracy the water could be encoreged to go allong almost horisontally.

alan2here Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 It wasn't ment to look like that. It would be a verry cool experment for somone to try, get it just right and it could look verry bizzare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
