I Don't think this would be a perpetual motion machine but it may put out more power than it takes to run.

Question

I'v tried to figure out why this wouldn't work but I don't Know enough math so here goes. If you were to take a chamber filled with water and put a float at the bottom conected to an arm to capture the energy of the rise up the chamber you would have one equation for the amount of power created.
Next you push the object over (possibly still floating) then close off the chamber so you don't have more water loss. Next you would let the object fall, Maybe connected to a pump to fill the water chamber back up.
I know all the power that you get from the fall needs to go back to filling the chamber plus some of the power from the boyancy because of inefficiencies but it seems that my outher two actions of moving my weight-float back and forth would not use all the power that could be created.
The reason I think this might work is because you kind of turn gravity sideways. all the water wheals that I could find kept everything submurged and did not remove it from the water midum.

Answer 1

Without the math, here goes:

First problem is the weight and dimensions of the ball - you need a heavy ball for the gravity portion of your power extraction, however you'll need a light ball (less dense than water) to achieve any power from the buoyancy. That means that if you are going to have any significant buoyancy, you will not have enough weight in the ball to refill the canister and if you have a heavy enough ball to refill the canister, it will not float. This appears to be an unsolvable condition without the addition of another external energy source.

And if you could overcome these concerns - how would you get the ball back at the bottom of the canister once you move it over and let it fall?

Be that as it may, using buoyancy and gravity (opposite forces) to produce energy is an interesting idea.

Answer 2

First off I dont think it is creating more energy then is being used because the theory that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but only transformed. Something I memorized in science class I felt it had some importance to it.


HOpe it helped

Answer 3

The two rules of energy.

1. You can't get something for nothing.
2. You can't even break even

NO ONE has ever successfully built anything perpetual. The fact that you can't even do the math shows how deep a hole you're in.

Answer 4

I came up with that one years ago
