There is one in use at a dam near my house. It raises water from the lake to a supply tank at the gate keeper's house.

Thanks Bozo, when you combine a hydraulic ram with a vacuum, just as when you prime a pump, the water can be raised high enough to let the siphoning take over. It's not magical, mystical and has nothing to do with perpetual motion...devices were made in the middle ages that circulated water...it wasn't perpetual, however, because the water evaporated and the mechanic aspects of it wore out...

My Grandmother raised water from a creek with a hydraulic ram and from a pool (cistern) the good old hand pump would bring it even further up the hill.

NOT new ideas, just using what is out there and thinking outside the box.

PS. There are solar furnaces, much like polished mirrors, which can instantly turn water into steam...these solar furnaces (mirrors) are already used in many mfgr applications. It doesn't take much focused sunlight to create a lot of heat...every 10 year old with a magnifying glass knows that. But they don't think about converting the heat into steam...do they?
