Advice on new renewable energy technology

Hi everyone!

I think I have invented a new kind of renewable energy technology, using buoyancy. I do not know much about Arduino, but I ask for advice on how to control the entire feeding process. Please see the PDF document on [Mod edit link removed] Those who are hesitant always tend to ignore the 300 tons of buoyancy that is always exerted by the buoyancy elements. And that the energy is supplied by the floating element emitting being moved from high energy density at the bottom, to low energy density at the top.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Philip

There are already patents for the same, it is not new to use buoyancy for power. There are many tidal buoyancy power schemes

First draw a flow diagram in real world language that fully explains what you want the arduino to do.

Most people will not download stuff off the internet from people they don’t know

Is this a "free energy device" a.k.a. perpetual motion machine? It sure look like one. Have you built a working prototype, or do you want "investors" to pay for that?

It does look a bit “free power” but the diagram is not very clear. Perhaps tidal forces are used to get the balls back down.

There is no mention of tides. Or Arduino :wink: This is an advertisement.

There is not much mentioned and I wasn’t going to download stuff. On an iPhone I get very little info from the website.

I judge it safe to download the PDF, I did but it's not very specific.

To me, it looks like typical smoke and mirrors stuff to attract "investment".

At least, the OP "thinks" he has invented it, vs. having actually invented it. :slight_smile: Or tested or demonstrated it. :slight_smile:

Hi folks, and thanks for replies! The PDF explains in detail every step of the process in real world language. As I mentioned, the energy is supplied by the floating element emitting being moved from high energy density at the bottom, to low energy density at the top. It has nothing to do with tide. I just would need guidance on how the feeding mechanism could be carried out by Arduino hardware and code. The purpose of this, is to make a prototype, to verify whether it works.

As stated, post your flow on here. Nobody wants to download stuff off some random website. I.è you do the work! Don’t rely on others to do it for you

As I wrote, I'm searching for advice on this. I whish you good luck with another project instead, pmagowan.

Please let me save you a lot of time. It can't work. The root concept contradicts the laws of physics.

If you really want advice about how to interface an Arduino, you have to provide details of a prototype, what kind of servos and motors, sensors, etc. you have used, and a complete description of the mechanical operations that those have to execute.

So post that stuff, and we can definitely help you discover why it doesn't work.

Some experts agree. And other disagree. So far no one has been able to verify whether it will work or not. For that, there is a need of energy calculations. Or building a prototype.

Right. Please build a prototype and we can help you drive it with an Arduino.

I doubt that any real "expert" believes in free energy. The reason why nobody has been able to verify it, is because the laws of the universe dictate that it can not happen, and you can't prove the impossibility of anything with a mere experiment, only the possibility.

But since it's an incredible claim, it's not the responsibility of skeptics to disprove it. It's up to the advocates to prove it. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Here is a link for you energy conservation - Why doesn't this perpetual motion machine using the buoyant force work? - Physics Stack Exchange

We could definitely make the arduino work though! Post the schematics and flow diagram and I’m sure there will be lots of help with the code etc.

It would look really cool with Neopixel displays in all the balls!

There surely is. That is another deficiency in your project.

Its been invented before.

Gravity also acts at a distance, without an apparent energy source, but to get energy out of a gravitational field (for instance, by dropping a heavy object, producing kinetic energy as it falls) one has to put energy in (for instance, by lifting the object up), and some energy is always dissipated in the process. A typical application of gravity in a perpetual motion machine is Bhaskara's wheel in the 12th century, whose key idea is itself a recurring theme, often called the overbalanced wheel: moving weights are attached to a wheel in such a way that they fall to a position further from the wheel's center for one half of the wheel's rotation, and closer to the center for the other half. Since weights further from the center apply a greater torque, it was thought that the wheel would rotate forever. However, since the side with weights further from the center has fewer weights than the other side, at that moment, the torque is balanced and perpetual movement is not achieved.[29] The moving weights may be hammers on pivoted arms, or rolling balls, or mercury in tubes; the principle is the same.

A REAL renewable energy generator relies on converting one source of energy - eg wind, wave, solar - to electricity. Even chemical, fission or fusion energy. "Buoyancy " is NOT energy - its a force. Like the gravitational force on the unbalanced wheel.
