Steven this was first done in Australia, Ash did post this Australian design some years back on EF. I think it has merit, why, well who would spend such a large amount of money on something that does not work!!!!! I would think that water pressure from depth comes into play here, just maybe that is the excess needed to make it run, the idea is cool and simple to test, though the depth might be an item that is needed to make it work and as so more difficult to build ( unless you have a deep well!). The delta pressure between depth of water (pressure) and atmospheric air pressure, is quite an energy item If air is pumped to replace the water in the inverted cups (not really tanks) at the bottom of the circuit, the delta P will do the rest The bottom of the cups would have several flap valves "rubber" to let the water in on the downward stroke side "zero delta P" and close on the air pressure upward side, air displacing the water, closing the valves and creating a huge positive delta P, and away she goes to try and equal the pressures. Now I ask the question, what laws are broken here? Conservation of energy? compresser energy to replace the water with air? that is the question regards Mike
