Magnets/Buoyancy

am so new to this that i am not sure how the site works or how to reply.  All day at work i had an idea floating in my mind and i get home and the first thing i see on the site here is another idea with an aspect that concerns the idea i had.  What if you took a radial engine block, lay it flat, replaced the pistons and cylinder heads with magnets, and utilized the coils and distributer and battery to "fire" the cylinders, in thier original order, but with the magnets?

This kills the idea:

Now then if you attach a magnet to the end of the cylinder and then place another one at the bottom of the bowl of water so they attract each other.

If it is to be a self-sustaining device no external activity (e.g. bringing in or out magnets) should be part of its functioning.

There are, however, other interesting ideas with using conservative fields such as gravity and a hydrostatic force due to formation of voids in liquid.

One general remark ? if the idea with the magnet motors is viable then it can be applied to other conservative fields as well.

I don?t see where the "overunity" concept in this is.

A Bulgarian fellow by the nickname of Darklight proposed the following motor based on the combined action of gravity and hydrostatic force (see attachment).

The apparatus is immersed in water. Heavy plates (in red) open up volumes when turning around a hinge under the action of gravity force G. This causes the appearance of Archimedian counter-force F. The resultant force moves the belt. All volumes are connected and the total volume of the system is constant ? when an element closes the gas (air) flows into an element that opens up.

Look pretty promising ! I guess this could work.
How is the air transfered ? Only inside the device or from
above from the water surface somehow ?
