Gravity/Buoyancy Device Simple Schematic. (Tell me why it won't work)

[karl]

If you force the ball to pass through paddle wheel type power generation devices on its way up and down the system, the energy could be stored and used to aid in its reinsertion at the bottom of the water tube.
The magnet at the top gives it a little help coming over the edge even though it is already inclined to go over because of its direction of travel caused by the slant at the top of the water container.

Tell me at which point does this device fail ?

Hi Tytus,
there is an Video on youtube showing the insertion of a floater cap into an tube like yours.

I like to work with you on this problem.

Like shown in the Video the device is working and driving an bank of lamps while falling from the upper limit.

The insertion is not the problem as shown,
It's like the experiment with a full glass of wather and a sheet of paper covering it.
If you turn the glass arround the glass is tight due to the higher air pressure at the bottom.
Are you firm with that experiment?

Next step is to close the circle and remove the cap from the floatation tube.
To open the tube at the top it should be shuttet at the lower end (drehschieber) with nearly no power and then opened with also no power (simple flap at top of tube).

The outcuppling could be done like in your approach or by floating the container on top of the fluid and link it direct in the working upwards elevator.

Now to the problem in the following step.

You shut the upper flap and there is now an reservoir of air wich is compressible and every time you remove the container there is more air space left.

Should we pump the water again upward to fill?the reservoir before opening the lower vent to insert the next floater?

There should the calculation start. When to switch, what are the relevant relative pressures in the tube at what time and at what switching state of the device (switching costs nothing). Bacause there is a higher pressure at the bottom than at the top,
but the pressure changes as different switching states happens.

Please start your calculation.

Best wishes
FE Karl

Add: A taller tube has the same pressure per unit bottom than a wider one, thats not the problem.
The problem is the difference in density between the floater and the water, because this generates the upwards thrust.
If the floater has a lower density per volume, the lost volume of water after taking out the floater at top has to be replaced with a higher density volume which has to be transported to the top region of the tube.
Thats the real problem. In this case it's better to build a waterfall and apply a heavy pump to drive it.

Forget this idea. The problem is always the same....to close the loop....

Please tell me if there are further questions

Karl,

Thanks for showing me that video... very interesting... let me think a while and I'll get back to you

One more for the construction hat models.

Cool video. Just skips the parts that don't work.
