Your diagram is not showing.
Euclid played with a water syphon and found that you could strike a balance of the syphon powering itself in order to maintain flow but as soon as you add a load (use the energy for something else) you lose the delicate balance needed to maintain the constant flow. i.e. you lose momentum.
