A pump would cause the water to flow in the siphon temporarily (you could chose either direction) but the flow would decay rapidly. Of course if your siphon does leak into the biosphere then you can extract energy from the water flow - but only until the biosphere is flooded. As there is basically no energy source/sink in the situation you are describing, for it to work would require a perpetual motion machine - which is always physically impossible. | |

Especially if the temperature of the biosphere effects the temperature of the water in the siphon? I also forgot to mention that the siphon would use a pump to get the flow started. Would that have any effect to destabilizing its equilibrium to the outside pressure? | |

Corrected spelling and typos in a few places.
