Gravity Mill - any comments to this idea?

Ooandioo,

Hi prajna, the idea would work if we are able to completely seal up the shuttle from the pipe sides. Do you think, that can be made that easy?

Sure, why not?  We do this in internal combustion engines all the time.  A two stroke engine even uses ports rather than valves.  So this machine is familiar technology using this design.  Any engineer 'skilled in the art' ... as they say.

Perhaps I should have drawn in the 'piston rings'.

prajna - you are completely right. I'm amazed we have finally discussed the elsa and found out such interesting things.
How will we go in now?

Well, I have just fixed some of the pressure calculations in ELSACALC and I am tidying up some of the text so that it is easier to understand.  Someone needs to design the energy extraction system above water level.  If we generate electricity then we can use a standard compressor to recompress the shuttle.  The actuator and sensors need to be designed or discovered too.

I will also be adding energy conversion and COP calculations to ELSACALC. Then I will track down a physicist or two to check my calculations.  Then we can all say 'fuck George Bush and the rest of the Oiligarchy.' (Actually, I've been saying that for years but it will be nice to demonstrate it rather than simply say it.)

Hello Prajna and Others!


Many things are better than todays energy "constelation". Even ELSA.
So I'll contribute with this Free Energy H2O2 generator in spray bottle. Ha Ha ha
...actually it can be done. Its even much much better than any todays energy system we use.

Ok, I have added power calculations to ELSACALC and, if my calculations are correct, I might not be going off the grid just yet.

Have a look at http://declarepeace.org.uk/energy/elsa.htm
