It would work without the one way valve as long as the vacuum remains in the top of pipe B.
it would be easy to test, some hot glue, the correct siphon tube and a couple of good plastic containers like a tall plastic drinking cup and a tufferware tub.

shouldn't be to hard.

if the concept works I could easily scale it up to make a self functioning Kelvin Generator to produce high voltage.

A self functioning Kelvin Generator would be a neat contraption.

I would love to conduct a test run myself.

A. and B. are sealed, this creates a higher vacuum up top than the lower water in B., the vacuum at the top chamber B. will cause the water to be drawn up from device E. which is only allowed to flow one way.

should be pretty easy to verify, I will see about finding a one way valve somewhere.

I think the same law that causes water to seek its own level will prevent the siphoning.  The one way valve would keep water from pouring out into the reservoir, true, but the force from the siphon would not be strong enough to get water into the tank from the reservoir.

I'm getting some Acrylic pipes in, I think I can swing making this one too.

What, you guys are nutz!
The vacuum at the top of B is the greatest, and it would be much easier for the water to simply draw back up the short siphon tube than draw all the way from the bottom of tube B.

That's my thought  :o

Actually the water doesn't want to leave the hose since atmospheric pressure is pushing it back. This is like inverting a cup filled with water, where the pressure of the atmosphere is much bigger than the pressure of the water + the little air that is left.

I just bought my hot glue gun, what else do I need? I think that I am a higher skeptic than you are but I am going to try my best thought on the subject. you have to remember, I truely don't believe in perpetual energy, I am just trying to help thoughs that have an interest.

wish me luck. we will see where this goes!

what if you used capillary tubes like an outstretched telescope?

theoretically it could go to infinity
