Though Experiment - Density and Bouyancy
Positron
changes and have attempted to model the situation mathematically. The
main objective have been to investigate the relationship between
applied work and energy potentially harvested from the system by
changing the density of an object with with one mechanism and
harvesting the energy potential produced by this using another method.
Depending on the situation, my current mathematical model indicates a
theoretical net energy gain, depending on certain specifications such
as the relationship between size and weight of the object. Realizing
that this is widely considered to be impossible, I suspect that there
must be some mistake in my approach or model. I have been unable to
find it as yet, and would appreciate it if you could investigate the
situation and give your input.
I have made the spreadsheet I used to do my calculations as well as a
short explanatory slideshow available:

I will appreciate it if you could send your comments to the link below
as I may miss something posted in the newsgroups, although I will look
regularly.

Thank you.

The documents on the author's web page appear to have been produced

Advice:
If you're asking people to look at your document, it's useful to have
this document in a format that as many people as possible will be able
to read. pdf (for example) would reach a considerably larger audience
than microsoft-office-that's-too-new-for-openoffice-to-grok-it.

You did that yesterday and it was just as stupid then as it is now.

1) Time is homogeneous.
2) Noether's theorems.
3) Mass-energy is locally conserved.
Modality is irrelevant. There is no path a center of mass can pursue
that will give a final mgh other than that due to the endpoints.

You are wrong.
