You're forgetting that the wind always has another path available.

That's the beauty of the Heath Robinson school of engineering, it always
-looks- like it might just work.

OK, that get's you a few seconds, maybe a minute of power then all the pipes
have filled. What next? If you pump out all the water to go again you find
you have used as much energy as you gained -plus- the losses in the system.

Perpetual motion machine designs have a long and noble history.
