A new energy source-maybe--maybe-not

Yes, Open office would be good.

When I think of a spreadsheet I think of rows and columns

How can I convert my model into a running version to determine its efficiency in energy input against output-?

At the most basic level, in each cell of a spreadsheet you can have a number or a formula. Formula in Excel can be incredibly simple, adding two cells together for example (say you want to add cell A1 to cell B1, the formula in Excel would be "=A1+B1") or very complex allow you to handle logical functions such as IF, AND, OR etc.

Do a google search for "OpenOffice Calc Formula" (without the quotes) and you should get some good links for tutorials and guides about using them.

You asked for software which allowed you to perform calculations on value that were entered. A spreadsheet is ideal for this.

I assumed you knew which calculations you needed to perform.

This fella is starting to sound a lot like me ?

Thank you all for your contributions. Now that I understand the value of a spreadsheet, I still have a few details I will need before I can get the results I need.

I know the relationship between the size of an air bubble under different pressures.

I also know the lifting force of displaced water as in the lifting force that keeps a boat afloat.

What I don’t know is the speed of the rising bubbles which I believe is an increasing speed.

The output power will be a function of the drag put upon the rising force. If drag (X) is the amount of resistance that stops the rising force, then I need drag (X) minus some value less than drag (X) that allows the system to continue to rise. This drag will slow down the speed. The difference between its maximum speed potential and the drag applied to it will equal the useful energy from the system.

I have no idea how the create a spread sheet to determine its output power with so many unknown variables involved.

In short, I am dwelling about a system that I am unqualified to be contemplating.

This concept is better left to others to consider.

One last look at an old idea made new-----

I need help in calculating the numbers
Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!
