Hydraulicity: Refutation of Travis PPT Slide 26

In contrast to the depiction in the unexplained Slide # 26 in the Wayne Travis PowerPoint presentation here: www.sugarsync.com Please note that this link was posted in a public, open source forum by Wayne Travis himself, and any materials used from it, including this link, are Fair Use under applicable copyright regulations, for critical analysis and educational purposes. This PPT purports to “explain” the operation of an overunity buoyancy drive system, that runs itself without outside input, and will (or is “planned” to ) provide 50 kW of power, presumably electric, to the Trinity Baptist Church in Chickasaw OK by the end of February 2013. The Slide 26 in this PPT shows a simple system of tubes exactly like those shown in this video…. but with hugely DIFFERENT water levels. No explanation is given for the difference. Here I show that a real system does not behave that way. One can clearly see that the water levels remain the same, no matter the depth or the surface area of the “piston” formed by the water-air interface. The Slide 26 in the Travis PowerPoint presentation appears to me to be describing a non-physical situation, or is simply deceptive in its content and intent. (Should the link above be inactivated or go missing, please PM me and I will provide an alternate link to an archived copy of the Travis PPT.)
