There is literally nothing wrong with this picture

>>15397111 (OP)

what is this pic trying to say?

>>15397111 (OP)

How are the parcels entering the chamber at the bottom?

Explain the "perpetuum" part

Every time a floating thingy goes through the gates, water equal in volume will be moved out to the right. Eventually the left side will be drained.

Buoyancy is indeed magic

I wish there were more airships

>>15397111 (OP)

there are many things wrong with this picture.

>>15397111 (OP)

How pyramids made?

An object weighing less than the mass of an equivalent displacement of water will rise with a Force equivalent to the difference in perpetuumm

>>15397111 (OP)

saw a YT video of someone proposing this but they didn't show any real world working models. just an animated concept mock up

You find a big heap of rocks and grind away the portion that isn't pyramid shaped.

Passing the second gate needs energy equal what is gained by floating up.

It seems to be saying that OP wants to find a way to exploit the buoyant force to move things uphill with minimal energy.

Add in an Archimedes screw.

>>15397111 (OP)

It think you end up using the water. The volume of water equal to the volume of the buoys will go down at every cycle.

Drill a hole smaller than the packages in the gates and another small downward tunnel at the top to create a delta p and draw in more water from the ocean.

How about just using a turbine instead of this contraption, then?

it's a variation on this perpetual motion machine trollcomic

You still need the container and water as depicted in that "contraption" to operate an Archimedes turbine and the way I said doesn't need energy to operate a turbine since it gets all its delta p from gravity wells and buoyant forces.

Do it somewhere rainy and make the surface area of the top reservoir massive.

>Do it somewhere rainy and make the surface area of the top reservoir massive.

Why not just make a hydro electric dam then?

Do that too at the bottom past the gates.

OP appears to be trying to float things uphill directly with lowfi tech rather than take advantage of falling water to generate electricity that will largely be lost to friction trying to move the packages uphill and require a bunch of extra resources and supply chains to manufacture and maintain turbines.

Yes, but it's called a "hydroelectric plant" and it's a well known thing.

Sure, but hydroelectric plant is the phrase for a structure that converts water flow (ie hydro) to electricity (ie electric) which is not OP's goal.

ok, then make it

ok give me coastal property to build it on

you can make a model you know

Then it depends on rain, which depends on evaporation, which depends on heat from the sun. It works, but is by definition not a perpetuum mobile. The sun won't last forever.

Those gates are higher tech than aliens would have

Nope, there's just no reason why it would pass the gate at all.

Exactly right. so something with a similar working principle as OP's pic could work with an adequate source of elevated water (from pump or lake whatev).

That said it would be pointless today and impractical for ancient egyptians to have built something like this. Friction when lifting gates too high, water leakage too great, channel size ridiculously large for limestone block + floaters.
