I don't get how this will not work!!! ITS REVOLUTIONARY!!!! prove me wrong

surface tension

>> No.2118236

Im guessing the weight of the water against the flap would be higher than the collective pull of the balls to push up through it.

>> No.2118243

It would work fine. Faggots on this board don't realize we have a virtually unlimited supply of gravity to keep this shit going.

>> No.2118253

ever tried pushing a ball of air into a bucket of water.. yeah.. thats what happens and the bottom.. and gravity pulling the ball and water down.. nice try tho

Balls don't start at the top, retard. They start at the bottom. Look at the picture again.

the ball at the bottom can't break the surface tension of the water. not that it matters cause god knows water doesn't float in air like that

what if you electrically assisted the tension of the seal?

Surface tension at the bottom? There is a seal, the water isn't floating in the air.

>> No.2118308

>>2118303
They probably mean the weight of the water.

>> No.2118309

>>2118303
yes but how do you make the seal tight enough to keep the water in but loose enough to allow a ball of air to permeate thru?

>> No.2118313

>>2118303
I think he meant the pressure of that much water pushing down on the seal.

>> No.2118316

doesn't our current A/C system work perfectly fine already?

OP, it WILL work, but not infintitely because that seal WILL leak some of the water. When the barrel is empty of water, the system will stop working. Then the amount of energy required to refill the bucket will be LESS than the amount generated.

What if...just hear me out...what if...
We fill the balls with helium instead of air!

the gravity of the other balls plus the plus the fact that its just as hard to get get a ball into water as the water trying to push the ball out making it not move at all

There is actually no problem with this since the energy isnt being created as in most troll physics cartoons, your using the energy of the planet, slowing it down by a absolutely tiny fraction, although it would be hard to build.

Intuition fail. Try thermodynamics I.
