Cool! So far I like what I see. At this time I am breaking for evening meal and then back to work. I haven't tried anything like it, so I will have to look a bit closer to see the possibilities.

So, it's a underwater perpetuum mobile? A wheel that rotates with no energy applied?

Rapadura. IF it is OU, the coils can power the wheel with an electric motor.

I did finally figure out why this motor will not work.

If I load the coils, the back emf will hold back the motion of the moving magnets. This "break" will delay the movement so the point where the magnet is farthest out of the coil (Where the volume in the tank is smallest) will no longer be at the bottom of the wheel, but pass the bottom. My guess is that this new point is located approperiate to get more buoyancy on one side which will counterforce the rotation.
Very frustrating, but I had some how taken into account that this idea was nothing but another learning by mistake.

Also it's my feeling that the wheel would move so slow that it would be hard to get any current out of the setup.  If it was very large you might get some power from the wheel itself turning a geared up generator but most things moving under water have so much resistance to movement that it would not likely work out to be anything useful.
   Still I think you basic idea is something to think about.  Any time we can take two forces in nature and work them against each other there is a possiblity for generating power.  Things like gravity versus bouyancy as well as any other two or more such forces would seem to lend themselves to generating power.
