The replies are quite good. Circular wheel with buckets of water? I haven't seen one build by humans but in theory you could build one using capillary action. Some how no one is surprised that giant trees can pump enormous amounts of water. Everyone knows that if you put a sponge in shallow water it will suck the water up against gravity. We can pretend evapotranspiration is powered by sunlight. If you for a moment pretend it is not it seems quite engineerable.  Here the usual response is that the drinking bird doesn't make a lot of power. The question they should be asking is: How do I modify the working concept to get a lot of power out of it? I think it is quite the fun puzzle. \> even if we find infinite energy/things of that nature how are we going to make it, at scale? We already have infinite energy at scale all over the world. The universe is a rather violent place. We should be happy it is nice and calm in this thin film on our planet. We have a logistics problem and infinite hunger (greed) I'm sure if we had unlimited/cheap energy available everywhere we would use it to hurl large objects at other people. You could have truly glorious endless wars. Not just passive land mines sitting there waiting to be triggered for decades but we could finally make devices that hunt people forever and make them cheaply! Nuclear subs are just wonky prototypes for what is to come. One could power or heat a sizable city with one but no one is doing that. Look what nut bags we put in charge and how everyone seems sort of okay with it. Even want to die for the nut bags. LOL You want to give matches to the babies?
