Well if you could engineer one good enough, a strong flap shaped properly could manage to close fast enough to not let any out
I have the idea for it in my head, but I can't really explain it..
 
^The energy of the next 5 balls that are still floating upwards maybe?

The one that GP posted should really fucking go on mythbusters.
 
I would laugh if some random guy on the internet just thought about one of the most wanted things in the world, Infinite Electricity that is.

It would take more energy to push the ball through the flap than what is created by the machine.
Think abt it: you have to push the ball against gravity and make it lift up relatively tons of water.
 
^ I don't want to seem sarcastic, but why don't you test it out yourself? :P
 
I can't, I don't have the supplies or anywhere near enough knowledge to engineer it properly :p
 
you would need the balls to be heavy enough so they can bring the "belt" downwards and also heavy enough so they generate enough lift to get the ball on the bottom through the water flap and pull the balls through the water. imo it can't be done.

You don't need the balls to be heavy. Just make sure the belt is really tightened on the pulleys.
 
The lifting up power generated by the balloons in the water won't be enough to make the system move.
 
It's impossible, it'd be a Perpetuum Mobile, and one of the basic laws of physics is that a Perpetuum Mobile can not exist.

This is only true in a vacuum.
In our world, it is possible to utilize the surrounding forces in order to make a machine that can fuel itself.
But, my point doesn't matter in this case because this doesn't utilize the surrounding forces.

Anyways, the balls do indeed need to have weight, otherwise, how will the belt move down? Making the balls heavy will pull it down creating that initial force but not enough to push the bottom one through the flap.

It is possible to create a machine which can fuel itself, but there is no way for it to be possible to run forever. To have that there would have to be an effeciency of 100%, which is theoretically impossible to achieve.
