Magnets/Buoyancy

[KSW]

Hello
Just a quick question

i'll try and describe it as best i can.

Take a cylinder and piston. Connect the piston rod to a pivot.
If you placed this so the pivot was just above a bowl of water, the piston would lay horizontally on the surface.
Then if the cylinder was pushed closer to the pivot removing the air in the cylinder the cylinder would sink

Now then if you attach a magnet to the end of the cylinder and then place another one at the bottom of the bowl of water so they attract each other.
Would the attraction of the magnets be enough to pull enough air into the cylinder to make it buoyant again and thus break free from the pull of the magnet
and return to the surface?

im guessing not.

as then you may be able to have another magnet on the surface to do the pushing, and the cylce starts over.

hmmmmm

it took me a while to visualize your idea...

Its very interesting...

Although I do think it'd be caught in "equalibirium" between actions...

P.S. This sentence concerned me...

"Then if the cylinder was pushed closer to the pivot removing the air in the cylinder the cylinder would sink"

how does this occur... what pushes it closer??? where would this energy come from...?

I suppose you could use a magnet here aswell...

but then it would seem we would only be exchanging the utlization of one force for another in an attempt to alter an old idea in different manner of operation...

Perhaps we could adapt a SMOT assembly to this idea...

But I still see it as similar to many older ideas...

try it...

Opinion is one thing, proof's in the pudding...

prove me wrong... seriously... There are alot of people that need to be proved wrong...

thats why were here...

actually the more i think about it ... the less likely it seems to work

   But need is the mother of invention. When there is a need, we try to find a way to
fill the need. The key here is your thinking and that is what leads to inventions. No
thought, stagnation. If you cant baffle them with bull, then astound them with a
neat new invention they cant live without. And yea, I know the quote is backwards
but thats how you sneak up on them too.

Can?t you just draw up a JPEG or GIF pic  and attach it to your reply over here ?
Then it gets much more clear.
Under Options you can attach a file to your posts !
