Buoyancy/gravity wheel - another approach?

[sm0ky2]

as Archimedes was trying to teach us,
a submerged mass displaces its' mass in water.

its the same mass of water that is dropping down, as the mass you are raising through buoyancy.

e=mgh

there is no gain

what makes the pyramid theory important, is that water can be moved one bucket at a time.
we don't have to lift 100 tons of water all at once.
but 100 tons of water, carried bit by bit to the top, can lift the 100 ton stone.

Thanks Smokey, I missed the point below....
A similar lesson from the ants and the Chinese - many small pieces will surely add up.

That is a very interesting approach and thank you for posting it. Can it be converted? Well the gates seem to be the real problem.
