Blessings Grumage Its nice to hear from you. Lol I wasn't intending leaving the notched thing in place just a temporary thing to get an idea of flow I thought.
As for obstructing her majesty's waterways the farmers hereabouts seem to take a liberal view to such petty rules and regulations particularly in flood time.
In fact they'll divert the stuff anywhere they can with anything they can .. but of course I take your point there could well be problems with "The authorities' -twas ever so.
according to Charles Taylor this thing isn't prone to silting if I remember rightly thats because the water is sucked in from very near the surface.
I kinda view it in my imagination like a pint of lager and trying to push as much froth (air) down the pipe as possible whilst using little water from near the surface.
anyway despite Charles's sales pitch your quite right Grumage its going to need some provision to inspect, clean and service. cause sure as eggs is eggs its going to get some crap down there at some stage.
although absolutely nothing to do with trompe's Grumage I came across a clip some time ago and immediately thought of you wrestling with that Wesley thing a while back, so I take the liberty of inserting here for your interest with apologies to everyone else for drifting wildly off course briefly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGKGoXD8P5AThere's a lot of if's and possibilities starting to peculate from this very old Trompe technology and that's a good thing. another that comes to mind (if the bore hole approach is taken) is the possibility of being able to repeat the operation again and again just a little further down stream. after all you have lost none,or at least very little of the head of water from the bulk of the stream. Its an odd concept but in theory why not?
evolvingape - as usual a worthy contribution with much to consider I'll start trying to digest some of it. I have recently read you elsewhere contributing to things political,
I'm afraid thats the real block to this or any other potential free energy devices. There's no shortage of devices and as soon as Bill Mollison stated in the video Peter linked to -" The technology was suppressed , and agents removed all the books from all the library's in the early 1930s " Then any researcher worth a tin o'beans knows its going to be a COP+1 device of some sort. Its that single sentence that set me digging and delving.
We are living in fragile times possibly of imminent empire change when most don't know there's an empire anyway, never mind an empire enforced with oil and energy. Yes its refreshing and very interesting to consider yet another device that can alter the world out of all recognition, and to its advantage a device which cannot be patented . a device with scraps of information and design detail still available if we search hard enough and take care of it.
Grumage is probably quite right some petty bi law or another will probably prevent any chance of this being tried seriously in the UK (although never say die of course)still many others read our forum around the world and who knows one or two of them might have a stream at the bottom of the garden .. and great oaks from little acorns grow. I watched this video the other day evolvingape
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh2_3WFEqYAIt doesn't inspire but does tell a small part of the story. Many of the members here have developed COP+1 devices. some I have even managed to duplicate at least to the point where I can see they worked.
A lot of members are simply blasé at a new/old introductions -- bored even, - yawn -- seen that before. feed me another grape !
This is a water based system they have been shown to work many times by different researchers at different times here's a short list of a few of those researchers.

Its perhaps wishful thinking evolvingape but maybe one of us might just see a way to make this contraption simple, compact and powerful in such a way that it gets out of the box and can't be stopped. Of course I'm enthusiastic - after all Its a distinct possibility and its certainly starting some wheels turning for me.
Peterae - I'm genuinely enjoying researching this and happy to post anything I find to promote it. and of course tidal too , however the buisness of moving air entrapped in water is what is engaging me at the moment .
Kindest regards everyone Duncan
