Science people: debunk this (OP image fixed)

Now I can't see what everyone is talking about D:

Works fine when I click that link, but won't display on page. Whatever.

use this

also add my debunk to op plz

[Agent C]

the seal would not work.
at all.

This, also the string connecting the balloons/whatever would have to be fairly light.

Stop pointing out irrelevant details about the drawing like "the floating ball will not have enough speed to turn a turbine" (btw incorrect, a hollow ball submerged just a few meters deep can emerge at over a hundred miles an hour) or "the one way valve would slow down the ball" because theoretical physics always involves zero friction (unless friction is key), no unwanted outside forces, and assuming that directional change is instantaneous and elastic.

The key concept is "conceptual"
Your point is invalid

And yes the valve will work.  If it didn't, then your heart could not work and you would be dead.

wtf no they are falling

Haha what?

They're not falling, they're attached by rope to the balls on the other side.

Nexus is the smartest person here right now

On one side they have a force up due to buoyancy in water
on the other side they are falling due to gravity
Both forces act in the direction of the general motion of the system
The only opposing force is the force needed to put the ball into a pressurized liquid

Nexus is right, I'm studying (well, im supposed to be) for a test in AP physics right now

[fred da kiko]

it would not work because friction would stop the balls from moving, as well as the generator turbine.

:c

wtf no they are falling

lol, no they are not falling. they are being pulled down by the balls floating up. the floating balls are the only source of movement here.
so much for your ap physics supremacy bullstuff

theyre TIED to the balls on the other side, it balances out. thus the only reasons the balls on the left go down is because the balls on the right are floating up.

[Trifax]

This wouldn't work for many reasons.

1. Although the valve at the bottom of the water tank would keep water inside, it would require more force to pass through than the balloon could exert.

2. If the balloons are light enough (filled with air) to rise through the water, they wouldn't necessarily float down the other side in order to enter the water chamber again.

Bottom line: it's a pitiful attempt at a perpetual motion machine to provide energy, and it wouldn't work, but it's troll physics. So don't take it seriously.

Its a ball of air in open air
It's falling
It just also happens to have string tensions also acting on it, but the forces in effect due to the balls in open air are downward due to gravity.  This is known as falling
