Joe Spiteri Sargent selfrunning waterpump

Hi All,

there is another inventor, who claims to have a
working buoyancy energy extraction selfrunning pump.

Here is the link to his website with an animation
and a video of a working prototype:

Reminds me of the olf Grueter Blasius machine from Munich, Germany.

But I don´t see, how it can rotate, when the red or green aircontainer
still has all the air in it and is at the top ?

Why should this side fall then again and  rotate ?

Regards, Stefan.

Intresting, reminds me a little of a concept I once had.

[nightlife]

 This is old. We already talked about this a couple years ago. It uses electronic valves to control the transfer of air. When it locks in, a valve is opened allowing the air to move and since the air bags are attached to the float, as the float rises, it pushes the air out of the bottom air bag and together with the affect of air rising in water, forces it in to the top. As the top fills, it inflates the top bag and deflates the bottom bag and once the top bag is inflated, the top becomes heavier then the bottom and it makes it top heavy. Once the bag has been filled with air, a air valve is closed and the lock is released and it is allowed to rotate back to the opposite side and it keeps repeating the cycle. While the valve is closed, the float can not move.

 I personally think it could be designed to be more efficient then it is as shown and described. They need to do away with the cables and utilize the main axle it rotates back and forth on. They also need to utilize the motion of the float and of the bags being filled and deflated.

If this works once (cycle) It should go on and On and On........

So Simple!![love it]

Seems like I'll be playing in the tub Too Cherryman, BTW excellent idea you have also!

EVERY BODY INTO THE TUB!!
Gotta prove this out.............
