gravity-buoyancy underwater wheel

[roberval]

Rafael,
i understand why the 2 designs you posted don't work.

the system i posted in Pic 5 shows a wheel in perfect balance during it's 360 degree rotation, apart from the difference in buoyancy due to the depth of water.
   
the confusion might lie in the fact that the design needs a secondary system to create rotation, though the most important part of the design is a system that stays balanced, and has the ability to perform work due to the A-leg movements, which can be utilized by a secondary system to create the overbalance.

if this was a gravity only wheel (not submerged underwater) that stayed balanced while the A-legs opened and closed, turning the wheel by hand would be similar to turning a flywheel with no back force.
It would then simply need a secondary system that utilized the movement of the A-legs to create the overbalance.

I'm glad you include an arrow to indicate the direction of rotation. Because without that arrow, the devices sketched would turn equally well in either direction, since they aren't actually overbalanced at all.

The Anwser is No.
I have never seen a proof of concept of either a buoyancy or gravity device that could self run let alone produce any excess energy.

You know.. the submarine wheels have a big advantage over the classic ones. Especially when you have a swimming pool on your court and don't have a basement... Moreover they are lighter.

There are less complicated ways to check gravity - buoyancy wheels. I don't say your design is bad, of course.


All the best.

Pic no. 2 is a classic. The amount of air inside the pockets can't be more than the weights can push out or suck into them. There is a relationship between the weights and the amount of air. This relationship is ofcourse perfectly balanced and equal in both directions.
