Nuts what do you think of this one. Instead of transmitting electricity by copper, what about pressure on a pipe directly from a boiler. The pressure could run like DC powering a generator miles away, or a closed loop that alternates pressure from the boiler. If you fill your piping with water then alternate the boiler pressure you might sustain closed loop. You could keep the pressure in the boiler from coming in contact with the cool water in the piping and the transmission of power would leak less heat.
If you used pressure from the boiler to put pressure on pipes filled with cold water or pumped cold water one way you would dramatically reduce the heat loss you get from long transmission lines. you would convert the pressure of the boiler into electricity with a generator miles away and save all the heat loss. Evidently you would pump water as well so you could use that somehow, perhaps as drinking water.
That's cool I literally know nothing about vortex's. Don't maelstrom's form from two colliding current's? Could you not seperate the river in half build walls so the two halves of the river collide head on and possibly cause a big vortex? But I've always wondered about surface area resistance and river momentum. I'm trying to figure out a way to take the river current and turn it into on and off pressure. I'm thinking something like an enormous tarp tied to the shore so its surface area catches an optimal amount of river current passing by. The tarp slowly pulls on the rope so the rope acts on the heaviest load it can, taking a minute to drag ten feet. Then reduce the surface are of the tarp winding it up and pull it back to start over. So its a one way gain of energy. But somehow alternate pressure on quartz or other systems like a piston that require pressure on and off. Alternating the amount of surface area pulling on the rope would create on off pressure on the rope. How to do that is hard to think of though.Suppose you have bathtub 3/4 full of water. You call the portion with the drain and spigot attached a dam. The spigot is off. The water is still. You pull the plug and a vortex soon develops as the water drains. Did the dam cause it?
Basic manometer:
Given both sides are open to the atmosphere, the height difference multiplied by the liquid's surface area provides the volume of liquid above equilibrium. The instantaneous pressure or weight being exerted upon the portion below the lower dotted line is then just that volume multiplied by the fluid's density. The left side will drop halfway as the right side rises halfway, but there may some harmonic oscillation involved depending upon the circumstances.
