Rick, the torque would only be supplied by, and limited by, the weight of the
liquid on the downhill side.  With a windmill, just get some of those hot
aired bankers in Big "D" to talk and you should have enough wind.

Yep, sometimes you have to unload a few things just to be able to move 
round.
I had all the "Mother Earth News" mags from issue 3 to about 1990.  When we
moved from Colorado, we gave most of them to a family that could use the
information stored there.
