A new energy source-maybe--maybe-not

[telectrix]

I am not sure if you are referring to the tanks of compressed air or the buckets.

A tank full of compressed air will sink if the weight of the tank is greater than the weight of the seawater that is being displaced by the tank.

so where does the enrgy to compress the air come from?

plastic. oceans are full of it if we believe WHO.

Sunlight degrades plastic making it brittle but since the buckets are under water your suggestion might be the right one.

Thanks.

But won’t a plastic bucket full of air FLOAT

Finally, we are getting to the reason I chose this forum to introduce my idea.

For discussion’s sake we have a ship or barge on the surface that recharges the tanks, removing a discharged one replacing it with a charged one.

Now we are getting closer to the point of this topic.

Yes, the buckets will float. It is this upward pull, desire to float that drives the machine.

Yes but the energy or force required to get the bucket to the bottom before it can rise again will surely be greater than the energy produced,

Round and round and round and round.

After months we are still exactly where we were before. As could have been predicted by well known and well understood scientific principles.

Why not build a machine, and do an experiment then you would know for sure

I wrongly introduced this on another forum titled “How to make this idea work”.
They were not pleased at my attendance.

They too rejected the bucket idea so I provided a new version of the bucket which is attached here.

Any comments?
