A machine to convert gravity to mechanical energy # 2

Mr. Rat2,
I believe the invention might work, I do not know if it will work.
Its all on paper.
I posted the invention here to find out what other people think of it.

Brian,

Well I tried to explain as clearly as I could since you had asked repeatedly and politely how your machine could not work.  I think my last post was the clearest, but I know from experience that it can take different explanations or views to make things click for everyone.  Maybe they will sink in over time or with a second or third reading.  If not, well, I tried.

I really do think it is quite ingenious!

FYI, I'm on the road tomorrow and will not be able to type at you unless later in the day.  Be glad to have a go on Thursday if you are so inclined.

Later,

M.

Mondrasek,
I understand that as depth increases so does water pressure, the goal of this invention is to overcome the external water pressure and expand the tank.
The momentum of the falling 64 lb. Is used to overcome the external water pressure and expand the tank.

@ Brian,

The momentum of the 64 lb weight is is insufficient to expand the tank. Besides, the momentum is exhausted very quickly yet the outside pressure is still there. As well, in order to prevent water to leak into the tank you must have a very tight seal, that means an enormous amount of friction you have to overcome as well as the outside pressure. No internal mechanism can do this without input of extra energy.

Hans,
How much momentum does the falling 64 lb weight have?
Is there a way to store the momentum of the falling 64 lb weight?
