Brian,

How big is your tank, I mean what is the size of your bottom plate?

Hans,
As the tank with the 64 lb weight free-falls the 64 lb weight builds momentum.
At the bottom the tank is abruptly stopped, the 64 lb weight keeps going pulling the cable that goes thru the moveable pulley that moves the piston out of the tank. After the piston is moved out of the tank by the momentum of the falling 64 lb weight it is LOCKED in position by a PISTON LOCK. The tank is than lighter than the liquid it displaces and will float-up doing work.
The size of the tank is posted at my website bsandler.com

At a depth of 10 m the outside water pressure (in all directions) is 1 kg per square cm. That means a bottom plate of 4 inches by 4 inches needs an internal force of 100 kg just to compensate for the pressure. In order to expand the tank in a reasonable time you need about twice that.

So you are looking at an internal force of 200 kg to  expand a 4" by 4" tank. There is just no way something like this can float, momentum or not.

To expand a tank of 12" by 12" at that depth you need about 1800 kg of internal force, 1.8 metric tons !

Hans,
The tank falls 10 FEET
LOL at y

[hansvonlieven]

It does not matter Brian, the ratios are the same. !0 feet is a little less than one third of 10 meters so you are still looking at about 500 kg, that is half a metric ton.
