These blocks. A, angle pieces, H,and rollers, G, being in close contact, form a stoppage, so thatthe water can not issue, and are pushed and moved forward by theblocks which descend after them. I is the endless band, resting on sup-ports, J, fixed to the inside of the receptacle, supporting the blocks andmoving with them. The blocks, when in the vertical part of the re-ceptacle, are conducted by four wires, one on each of their four is a roller upon which tilt the blocks, guided by the endless band whenon the top of the receptacle to leave the same; L, friction rollers, onwhich fall and roll the blocks after having tilted, in order to reach the. hexagon wheel B. 382 PERPETUAL MOTION. 953. PERPETUAL MOTION. The flotation problem. An up-right tank, through which passes a number of floats connected by aband of elastic rubber attached to their ends, leav-ing just enough space between them to secure actionon each side by the water. They are each of thesame weight as an equal bulk of water at the sur-face, therefore the upper one in the tank has nocomparative weight. The next lower one has aunit of upward force equal to the condensation ofits bulk of water, and so on, each adding a unit tothe upward tendency, until we come to the last, thepressure on which is altogether downward to theamount of the entire
