Am i reading this correctly? Is he saying that i can make high-pressurised air with a slight fall of water as long as the distance between G and L is large? Am i missing something here?
That is my most important question. I am also wondering if the air shooting out of K would be constant or i would need some kind of weight-valve that would store up the airpressure until it is great enough.
I also don't understand why the water doesnt just go back up pipe E(to the level of L).
