Dear Mr. Hammer
When the tanks fall in a continuous column what will the drag be? What gets moved.

LOL I think you have a good head on your shoulders but lack in experience of reactions. So you reduce the paddle resistance by a straight column. This means you have a wider paddle at the shift, then it goes back to column. Don't you think you are loosing something there as well?  Like buoyancy? Displacement? Have you ever hung a tow off the rack and 1/3 of it held the whole tow?

You will just have to build it as see for yourself. I have to get back to work. But I will tell you there are better ways of buoyancy devices and fluid devices to be discovered.  Study the reactions.

I will ask the question again. What phase of MY invention won’t work?

Virtually all of it. I suggest you buy a really good book on hydraulics. It appears to me from your design that you don't understand the fundamental principles of hydraulics and yet you are attempting to design a hydraulic system.

In order for your tank to expand the weight inside must be greater than the weight of the water it displaces. That means that the tank sinks, not floats. But that is only one fatal flaw, there are more.

The falling 64 lb weight has enough force to overcome the external water pressure.

I don't see what you're trying to prove here. If you think these people are wrong then prove them wrong by at least an experiment or something. We are all after the same goal but these pointless discussion will lead to nowhere. Oh and the same goes for patents  .
