Does has this engine any chance to be a runner?
IMHO the floating corks (creating a bulb inside the tank) have a counteraction with the rotation.

It doesn't have any chance whatsoever P-F.

path_finder,

What are you doing, checking out us old timers for senility?

Your above you-tube link is of a design older than than I can remember, so I guess I am getting senile.

Damn!

I find bringing that old design up entertaining. LOL Yet there is something to think on. The water distribution in only a trade off with the extending weights. No gain. But if you can find a substance that will float up and be the same weight of the water distributed? It may have a chance. But I believe there is a physic's problem here.
