I doubt that seriously. Our weather is generated by the sun. And even suns expire.
Where would the heat energy come from to produce the evaporation - the falling rain?

Energy is conserved. And if you took all the heat energy and vibrational energy losses and somehow used them to raise the ball back to its original height what good would it do?
The customers include the Atlanta Police Department, a fire station, a dry cleaning plant, and a gymnasium. Interestingly, the Hydrosonic pump was installed in the public buildings by the county engineer after evaluating the device. The buildings are using the device mainly for heating purposes, and they have been running for more than a year. The customers have bills from their local electric utility company showing a year on year decrease in bills equivalent to 30 per cent.
What precisely causes the claimed excess heat? Griggs himself rejects the popular idea that his pump has something to do with so-called 'cold fusion'.
'We have kind of been lumped into the cold fusion field', he says wryly, 'because we have experienced excess energy out of the pump. As far as cold fusion goes, we don't believe that we're accomplishing any type of nuclear reaction within our system. We feel that it can be explained through the theory of cavitation or sonoluminescence.'

In such a system you cannot siphon off any energy for useful work - that is direct the energy elsewhere for something else, otherwise there would not be enough energy to raise it to its starting point again.
Getting all the energy from the ball, friction and so forth would be a 100% conversion of energy, which the 2nd law says cannot happen.
More than that, getting all that energy converted and then the ball raised to its starting point without adding energy is what is considered 'over unity' that is over 100% efficiency.
Just Not Possible.
In physics, the Casimir effect or Casimir-Polder force is a physical force arising from a quantized field.
The typical example is of two uncharged metallic plates in a vacuum, placed a few micrometers apart, without any external electromagnetic field.
In a classical description, the lack of an external field also means that there is no field between the plates, and no force would be measured between them.
When this field is instead studied using quantum mechanics, it is seen that the plates do affect the virtual photons which constitute the field, and generate a net force[1]—either an attraction or a repulsion depending on the specific arrangement of the two plates.
Quantum foam, also referred to as spacetime foam, is a concept in quantum mechanics, devised by John Wheeler in 1955. The foam is a qualitative description of the turbulence that the phenomenon creates at extremely small distances of the order of the Planck length.

Hm, a quick google search provided me with sites about decreasing the amount of gas used by using a water engine, but these say you still run your car off gasoline mostly. I wonder if this is what that guy was talking about. I wonder if I've been duped!

But I'm not going to show you the photographs. You'll just have to take my word for it.
