Big try at gravity wheel

Wings,

The encyclopedia of perpetual motion machines, sure a lot can be learned from them.
There is a major difference between traditional thinking (as seen here on OU.com) and the Travis Effect concept.
Traditionally you would rely on a natural effect to get you over the sticky point,  no not possible.  Inputting energy to pull it over is also useless. No gain there!
MarkE & TK and others who ar3e hard of hearing are still thinking the same way, energy in , energy store, produce more energy....or 0+0=0.....ect...  no..no....no !.  No floating floats from great depth to the surface ....ect.  It will never work, or so it has shown over hundreds of years.  The principle is too crude

The Travis Effect, a different approach >> Do a natural action, nature's forces will respond within its standard framework, governed by its laws. change the key parameters and nature's forces will respond also within its standard framework, governed by its laws.
But this time round to our advantage.
No laws are broken

Red_Sunset and what specifically is the "Travis Effect"?  Tom Miller's aquarium videos only managed to demonstrate Archimedes' Principle at work.  Yet, he kept saying that he was demonstrating a "Travis Effect".   While you are preparing to perform energy calculations, please be so kind as to describe what this "Travis Effect" you keep referring to is.  Please explain how it is different than the ordinary Archimedes' Principle that Tom kept demonstrating in his five aquarium videos.

Lets not complicate matters, it is pretty much what I was preparing to explain to you and where your participation has been requested. An educational enlightening journey, if you want to subscribe to it.

Red_Sunset, sadly the Harry Potter stories were merely tales of fiction.  There are no magic wands for Wayne, and he has been unable to demonstrate any magic or for that matter any remarkable behavior.

MarkE,  the storyteller got a bit carried away with the pen.
The modification has been applied.
My apologies, Red

Red_Sunset there is no need to go down a garden path.  Either you can describe this so-called "Travis Effect",  or you can't.  Perhaps you can do better than Tom Miller who demonstrated Archimedes' Principle over and over claiming that those demonstrations showed a unique "Travis Effect" that somehow did something better than Archimedes' Principle.  Poor Tom kept suffering the from the odd idea that air in an inverted cup is responsible for the buoyant force exerted by water around the cup.  Let's hope that you can do better than that.
