Itβd be a damn shame if someone in the Trump family had access to the Tesla files β¦..ππ

Water climbing up a capillary tube on its own isn't creating energy. Even it you could collect the water at the top of the tube and let it fall back down through a turbine and create electricity, it still isn't creating energy. Capillary action is a property of the water cause by surface tension which is the caused by the property of the water molecule, i.e the energy within the molecule.
and as the molecule climes against gravitational attraction it's elec. potential increases by roughly 100v pr meter. This is a high static di-pole. If you wish to see the effect on water, rub a balloon on your head and hold it near flowing water from the faucet. The "capillary action" is electro-static.
I get what you're saying, but think about how potenial energy is defined. You have mass (water) and it's increased its own potential energy simply by a tube being present. Yes, I know there's no way to harness that energy. In any case, that's all I was getting at. I didn't know my capillary comment would spark such an intense discussion. I should have known better than to bring up physics on this board. Lots of great minds around here π
