hi  keytronic88,

great addition to our cause.  the Don Adsitt site has to get a gold star too.  if John Herring had sent as much info as in on your link, there might not have been as much confusion.

good to have you onboard too.

hi mark australia,

better late than never.

to my knowledge, the only units that have been built would have been by the inventor, John Herring.  at the link above, in keytronic88 post, Mr. Herring mentions showing his unit to a school or two.  the pages there don't show a complete unit, but there are a lot of drawings of verious parts with some explanation.  if you can read thru those pages, you should come away with a fairly good picture of the type and size right for you.

good to have you onboard too.

ps  has everyone had a smile today?

Best start with looking at picture #770
as the others are very confusing sometimes,
if you have not yet understand the basic principle in
#770

The main advantageof the ELSA design is,
that you can pump all water over the moving swimmer piston
body into an upper tank, where you then have stored potential energy
from the water there and it needs only a fraction of this energy
to recompress the swimmer piston body for another cycle.
