Buoyancy-Based Power Generation - Full Disclosure

Recovery and Reloading:

Recovery takes place when the B-Unit reaches the bottom of the Short Stroke. The B-Unit touches down into the water in the Secondary Tank. When all B-Units have completed their cycle, and have been recovered, the system goes into Reload Mode.

Reloading:

When the control unit recieves the recovery response from all actibe B-Units, it begins the reloading process.
The robotic arm at the top (Transition Arm) releases the top portion of the track, and raises up about 3 inches.
At the same time, another arm at the recovery point, disengages the track and lifts the Short Side of the track 3 inches, in synch with the Transition Arm.

The Tank-Doors then close. Tank doors are positioned at the top of the water-line on both tanks, and seal completely air-tight.
The door at the bottom, connecting the two tanks is then slowly opened. This creates a pressure equilibrium between the two tanks, and B-units can then be safely transfered into the Reloader.
The lower track extends slightly, connecting the track into the Reloader.

Once reloading is complete, the track disconnects, the lower door closes, the Tank Doors slowly open, and the track is lowered and reconnected. Then the system is ready to begin another cycle.

That pretty much sums up the description of the generator.

Although specific components, or materials used to build this generator may have current or future patents, with respect to their particular industry, the technology behind this device is completely unpatented, and has been in use for hundreds of years.

So, give a 6-gun salute to the Hindenburg and hand your child a helium baloon. This is Sm0ky2 with a "Hail Mary" pass to the Free Energy community. Touchdown, with 3 months left in the 2nd quarter.

You sure have put some work behind it.

But wouldn't it take energy to expand the floaters under water.

...and how would you keep the water from leaking down into the small water container? the water would drain from the big water container.

etc...
Yep, I'm wondering what SmOky2 smokes these days, too...

This concept is over-complicated, and absolutely non-working, at least as a "FE" device...

But it's still nice to see someone dedicating such a marvelous idea to humanity. :-)
