A method of, and means for, utilizing centrifugal forces generated by the earth's rotation through positioning of conduit means (10) containing fluid in a critical and predetermining relation to such forces while concomitantly minimizing the adverse effects of the earth's gravitational forces on that system thereby to induce fluid flow. One means for accomplishment of the above is the employment of what effectively constitutes an elongated generally U-shaped conduit system (10) in which under steady state conditions, the fluid media contained within the inlet and outlet legs (12, 14) of the system (10) is essentially in static equilibrium in relation to the earth's gravitational field. The longitudinal section (16) interconnecting the inlet and outlet portions (12, 14) is maintained at a substantially uniform depth relative to the earth's surface while at the same time being oriented in a direction relative to the earth's centrifugal forces so as to maximize the effect of such forces on the fluid media contained within the section thereby to produce fluid movement. |
