hi
so i it overunity?
any demonstration ?
Except for the physical shape / appearance,
This device is exactly like the B-Units (Buoyancy Units) we developed in the 90's.
If properly designed, this device will operate as intended.
Is it "overunity"?
Absolutely not. This is a gravity converter. It takes gravitational force and converts it into work over distance.
Does it convert more gravitational energy than it uses to change buoyant states?
I'm not sure at this point in time. Physics says "no". They claim you cannot get out more energy than it took to change buoyant states.
but I'm having a hard time finding any definitive sources of information on this subject.
Changing buoyant states can be done many ways, with many variables and there is little info on how much energy is required to do so.
The energy obtainable from buoyant force, over distance, is well known. We have standard equations for this.
What I have NOT found, is any scientific source providing a comparative experiment showing the two energies side by side.
I am designing such an experiment, and whatever the results, I will post it here under a new thread.
I think that information is what we require to answer the buoyancy question once and for all.
The experiment will use the buoyant force, directly, to change the buoyant state.
With measurements of force from both the buoyant state, and the transition state.
This will be done first with Air and Water.
Then again using a denser fluid, and a gas with a higher coefficient of expansion.
this will allow us to establish both a baseline value, and some conversion data, to develop a general equation.
