ive allways wondered if it would be posible to get "free energy" using millions of very small tubes to move water up in elevation and then let it fall back down hydroelectric style. (even if the water could only be raised several inches it would style give energy without any input that i i can think of)

No such thing as free energy. You can't get more energy than you input. You're utilizing energy that's already there. That's like saying wind power is free energy.
Or maybe you meant something else by free energy?

^^ These 2 posts are EXACTLY what lead me to post the OP.
My ideas went - how about using the tubes to raise the water, The tubes are 2X 1/2 cylinders with a hinge, the hinge opens, releasing the water and on the way down we capture the energy, and that is the energy used to open and close the hinges. Yes a perpetual motion machine.
But I was aware that it was not possible, because it was a perpetual motion machine. But it had been in my head for about 12 years and I thought I'd post it here.
