Water/Air reciprocating Machine.

Can this machine work?

Components:
a) A volume of water
b) A volume of compressed air

Important properties of the components:
a) The water weighs more than the air
b) The air exerts a higher pressure than the water

Can the machine work like this? :
1. Compressed air forces the water to a higher level.
2. The water then falls to a lower level because it's heavier than the air.
3. Goto 1.

Hi brainzlol,

Is your question related to a science fair project? This forum is intended for students, parents, and teachers working on K-12 science projects. If you are looking for help with homework or general science discussions there are other sites that should be able to answer you question.

This is a general science question, not science fair.
Can you suggest a good place to ask it please?

Hi brainzlol,

Your question seems to be related to physics so you might try searching for sites that answer general questions about physics. Here’s one example:
