I can't find it now on youtube but years ago there was a pump someone made using old HDD platters. The action relied upon having two platters a certain distance apart such that surface tension would drag water between the plates and then fling it higher than it's source.

- margalabargala 2y agoThe pump in question spun the platters with an electric motor. It's an interesting mechanism for a pump, not a power-free one.
- kragen 2y agoit's also unrelated to surface tension; the tesla turbine, as this mechanism is called, was originally designed for gases
