MT 10: Does it keel?

[sadiq attamish]

hi
in this forum we are planing to use gravity wheel,so we have to play in physic implementation idea how to capture the gravity to make the weight fall down & use the minimal natural force how to get the weight rising up,this something we used clever way how to get extra energy from the two forces against other,that all.so the friction our main enemy.the rest i leave to you.thanks

Suppose...for a change...that friction is NOT our enemy.
Suppose...that the curved arms and weights are NOT revolving.
Could we imagine that only the outer wheel were turning around (and against) the inner 'balloon'?
What then would make the wheel turn?
Perhaps flexible mass between inner 'balloon' surface and outer rim.
Fill it with water.
If so, would MT10 turn CCW?

OK - I try to imagine only the 'balloon': A closed airtight system with these flexible arms and weights inside it. Nothing else.
Sink this 'balloon' into a pool of water.
What will happen?

My thought is not so much about gravity at work here but more like the tension of the flexible arms having different tension (or pressure) on each side of the center. In other words; the pressure 'balance' on the surface from inside is offset from the center of mass.
Kindda opposite aerodynamic

Just some morning thoughts
