Scientists remember Feynman as new book is published

May 20, 1998

In Carl Dietrich's design for a perpetual motion machine (one of three he submitted),the upper reservoir fills at high tide and the water slowly empties into the lower reservoir, continuously turning a water wheel. Once the tide falls below the level of the lower reservoir, the water drains back into the ocean through a one-way valve.
