Quote modified to help phrase two questions - I hope it doesn't change the context.

Hi Dale,
I am very impressed with your approach and work done with the model "Multi Layer Buoyancy Device".
1. The added space/volume in the riser head airspace for a length equal to the stroke distance. 
2. The choice of stroke distance must be carefully determined to fit within the set conditions.

Thanks
A new acronym? MLBD
1. I've read that 5 times and still don't quite follow - dense. Added volume for a length equal to stroke distance? Please clarify.

2. How would you approach that design decision process?
Dale

Nice job on that.

Thanks Webby
Dennis gets a lot of credit for the concept.

@Red: If you are going to mention me and describe my activities, I would appreciate it if you would get your facts straight. Certainly, were I to visit Mister Wayne in Chickasaw, on my own dime and my own time, I would consider myself a representative of this forum, and of course would not be willing to sign an NDA, since the whole idea is to let the forum know what's going on. And the circumstances under which I would sign an NDA, and who would be paying my salary in that circumstance, were discussed in PMs between MrWayne and me. The best way that I could suggest was to cut me out entirely and take his device to South West Research Institute's laboratories here in San Antonio, the organization that gave something like four million dollars to speculative inventors last year alone, and have them "verify" its working and help to develop it commercially. Under full NDA and patent protection of course. A one-day's drive with a big panel truck and he could have the best hydraulic systems engineers in the world crawling all over it for free. A second choice that also would not have cost MrWayne a Red_Cent would have been to contact ETI directly and have them look at it, in which case they (ETI) might actually hire me to be the "visitor" under full NDA of course. But then I would be representing ETI and secondarily MrWayne and so couldn't discuss the matter here. Another, more direct probability was also discussed by MrWayne but I won't go any further on that. In addition, another, separate group has also contacted me with offers to go to visit MrWayne under NDA and so on. I also won't discuss that offer any further.

My dog, Maggie, comes with me of course .... but she works mostly for free, and is happy to sign whatever NDAs are required, as long as she gets a biscuit now and then.

Part of any agreement to have me visit would include an up-front "act of god" penalty clause: if for any reason I am NOT shown what I am supposed to see, specified before I arrange transportation, the claimant will pay me at my usual consulting rate for at least three days plus expenses no matter what and no matter under whose dime I originally contract to come, and any NDAs in effect will be deemed void. This kind of penalty clause should be incorporated in ANY site visit by anyone, anywhere, to a claimed OU device.

Hi mondrasek
I just wanted to say that to increase efficiency you might need to pump stroke water at precharge level and not at the bottom level.
I learned this fact from Michel's latest compilation of MrWayne posts #2789. Paragraph starts with Part two: ...  we raised our pump ...

I would say pumping at precharge level gets better COP but still to get over 100% per device you need to have two devices interacting together. How exactly is this achieved I'm still figuring out but dual setup seems essential from info posted sofar. 

respect,
Marcel

"At precharge level" will of course mean that you must inject the water under greater pressure than you recovered it, doesn't it? This will require the input of work (energy) at some point. Where will this come from and what will it _really_ do to the COP?

By the way, did I mention it yet? My invisible pink unicorn herd is learning to fly. Already the stallion is able to fly completely around the block at 25 feet of altitude, and the lead mare isn't far behind.

If anyone here doesn't know what the Universal Law of Gravitation is they should look it up.  Gravity does not "flow" like a stream or the wind, at all.

How gravity acts is completely understandable.  It's possible to visualize exactly what the gravity field is like inside the ZED right down to the the nano differences from one 3D point relative to another.  You can do it with a calculator, a scale, and a ruler.

So any notion of "changing" gravity or "taking advantage of the 'flow'" of gravity is false.  Gravity is just "there" and it is as dead as a doornail.

Gravity is an integral of space-time.  Einstein said that space-time flows similar to a river, in one direction.  The direction is determined by the second law of thermodynamics.
