Science people: debunk this (OP image fixed)

What if you bubbled air into the bottom? Compressing air requires relatively little energy and could spin a turbine. Tiny bubbles at the bottom of the tank could be an inch in diameter at the top, moving hundreds of miles an hour. The energy required to compress air would be way less than the amount generated by the spinning turbine.

Contrary to what that image suggests, cats do not always land on their paws.

Contrary to what that image suggests, toast does not always land with the butter-side down.

[Skorpion]

So either way, It will try to land butter side up or back side down, so it will do the same stuff or rip itself apart.

Nope, it would take a lot more energy to compress the air than it would to spin the turbine.

It took me a while to figure out too. Friction.

If compressing air required little energy then every car in the world would have a supercharger.

that seal wouldn't work very well at all

Until we invent a low energy force field capable of holding back liquids while allowing solid matter to pass through, there's no chance of this working under regular laws of physics. In fact water vapor would work much more efficiently than air due to it being lighter and more buoyant. Although there is the problem of preventing the vapor from condensing back to liquid form.

The reason the air is moving up is because it is traveling from high pressure to low pressure.  The energy that the air exerts while decompressing is equal to the energy it would take to recompress it.

I remember a man managed to burn salt water with a decent flame in 2007.

loving idiots don't realize that it takes energy to make the radio waves that light the water.

I just like talking about physics and there are alot of odd theories bouncing around in this thread that have nothing to do with reality
