Newman rediscovered the metaphysics of the siphon: Gravity can work for you, instead of you always working against gravity.
This brings up the economic issue of charging for joules (energy) which I mentioned before. e.g. What gives an hydro electric company the right to forever charge for joule consumption? It is not as if the company is forever hauling water uphill. At some point the system they have built is producing more energy then was required for its construction. When that point is reached the company should only be able to charge for the energy required to maintain the facility and give away the rest for free. Harry
