Mathematical Analysis of an Ideal ZED

I take it that this conversation occurred before the FBI raided his place.

Well.... what's the verdict?
Has the issue been resolved?
Do we see why and how the spreadsheets were thought to indicate some kind of "overunity" or not?

Is ZED dead? Darn. I was really hoping someone would explain to me how millimeters of spreadsheet lift translate into pushing those production rams several feet in and out to make their high-pressure, high volume "production".

ZED was dead before it started.  Cyclically lifting and dropping weights may be a way to build muscles on a budget but it does not make free energy.  How much water does it take to make a kW?  That's not so hard to figure out.  Head*Flow yields power.  1kW = 1000J/s = 1000/(pWater*G₀)m*m³/s = 0.102 m*m³/s ~=88.5 ft*gps.  50kW requires a whopping 4400 ft*gps.  A 65HP pump is a large affair.

     I do believe mr. Travis thought he was "on to something" in the early days.
Alarm bells rang for me when he said " the longest run so far is 4 hours, but
thats no matter".
    Well it did matter, and the whole thing then has followed the classic route
  of hot air and nothing else.
    Thankyou to all who have contributed, it sure is a long garden, and I've
  enjoyed every step down its winding path.

I can tell you that from the very first that I heard about this on PESN, Wayne and his crew seemed to take great pains to misrepresent, beginning with the still undefined, supposed "Travis Effect".  The HER/Zydro crew fought tooth and nail to try and carry the misrepresentation that air is responsible for buoyant force applied to an object submerged in water.  All I have seen from these guys is a bunch of hand waving and suggestion.  Never did they offer any substance.  Even if one were to buy into their completely false claims of being able to obtain free energy from gravity, as TinselKoala has pointed out several times, the power levels that they quote would require enormous fluid stores in order to sustain the kinds of loads they claim for even an hour or two.  50kW by one hour for example would require a product of water head and volume of: ~37,000 m*m³.  The smallest that can be fit into is s a box over 40 ft on each side, IE 700,000 gallons, or more than the volume of an Olympic swimming pool, just to run for one hour at 100% efficiency.  If it were only the depth of an Olympic pool:  2m it would have to be a much larger total volume.  The whole thing is ridiculous beyond words.  Wayne Travis has sold an absolute BS story to his investors. He continues to shamelessly promote his false claims without even blinking.
