This guy is going to end the oil wars...

who was the other guy in pennsylvania that had the machine that would turn garbage into clean burning oil? I think that guy probably has a better concept.

yeah... I don't know about the air bubbles thing. But I still can't see why it won't work.

I remember some people inventing a car that ran on salad dressing and vegetable oil.
I thought it was so genious... then I realized.... salad dressing would cost like $50 a gallon!

Nice fusion generator mitsu.
Yours?

I don't think it'll work, I don't think the bubbles will rise as long as they're connected to each other. Compare it to having just a tube of air going through the water container.

I dont think this will work because of the forces necessary to drag the air pocket up into the water against the force of gravity will be greater than the net sum
of the bouyancy of the pockets still in the water.
Add this shortfall to the sum of the friction of the pockets in the water and and frition forces in the mechanism to holds them all in place and this fraudulent misguided contraption will do nothing other than sit motionless and uselessly on some shoddy poorly lit workbench, in a sad little run down suburb, its pathetic leaking echoing the dribbling tears of the halfwitted fool and/or fools stupid enough to have put it together.
Don't build it, it wont work.

It will not work, because all forces are balanced. Even if you put energy into it, it will not be more energy efficient than a bicycle wheel I think.
Gotta love the efforts though :)

solar power and fuel cells

perhaps if there was some additional, controlled motion of the bubbles on the chain... then the scales could be tipped, but as-is, its not creating power that i can see. Even if it was more efficient, i think all of the power generated would go to overcoming the resistance of the valve.

Even if you had a frictionless carrier for the bubbles, and a frictionless seal system, and no air friction or water friction, it still wouldnt work...
..the bouyant effect of each bubble, caused by the heavier water movig down to displace it, is countered by pulling the new bubble into the bottom of the tank.
You can't create or destroy energy, or get energy out of a closed system..or something like that...
