The Europa Project

The Europa Project makes use of the Bishop Buoyancy-Driven Water Wheel.  The Bishop Buoyancy-Driven Water Wheel is an innovative underwater device designed to harness rotational energy by leveraging the principles of buoyancy rather than gravity, reimagining the traditional water wheel. Submerged entirely in a liquid medium (e.g., water), the wheel consists of a circular frame with a series of evenly spaced, collapsible containers or chambers around its perimeter. Each chamber is engineered to alternate between holding a gas (e.g., in our case hydrogen) and releasing it, creating a cycle of buoyancy-induced motion.

(this design will improve as empirical testing is carried out).

Unlike a gravity-driven water wheel, where water-filled containers descend to generate angular momentum, this device operates in reverse. On the rising side of the wheel, chambers are injected with hydrogen produced from water electrolysis, making them hyper-buoyant and causing them to float upward through the surrounding liquid. This upward buoyant force drives the wheel’s rotation. As the chambers reach the top of the cycle, the gas is released or vented, and the now-empty or liquid-filled chambers become denser, sinking on the descending side due to their reduced buoyancy. This continuous cycle of gas injection and release sustains the wheel’s rotational motion.

The wheel is mounted on a central axle connected to a generator, converting the rotational energy into electrical power. The system is sealed and designed to operate efficiently underwater, with gas supplied via an external pump or onboard reservoir. Materials are corrosion-resistant to withstand prolonged submersion. Care is taken to assure low resistance hydrodynamic characteristics. By replacing gravity’s downward pull with buoyancy’s upward force, the Bishop Buoyancy-Driven Water Wheel offers a novel approach to renewable energy generation in aquatic environments, such as oceans, lakes, or specialized tanks.

The Europa Project is not a perpetual motion technology. As mentioned earlier, it operates based on universally accepted physical principles. The core of the project is a simple yet revolutionary machine – a Ferris wheel like design. Instead of passenger cages, this Ferris wheel features stainless steel spheres, submerged mostly underwater. At the lowest point, the external water pressure on each sphere is approximately 2 atmospheres.

Utilizing advanced electrolysis technology, water within the sphere is replaced by a hydrogen-oxygen mix, increasing the buoyancy and, in turn, the angular momentum of the Ferris wheel’s shaft.  If all technologies function as envisioned, the Europa Project could fulfill the same purpose on Earth that it was envisioned to provide on Europa – a source of abundant, clean, and sustainable energy. Distributed Europa Project facilities could potentially supply all the energy humanity would need for the foreseeable future. While the Ferris wheel design may not be optimal in its current form, future implementations would likely incorporate membranes to separate oxygen and hydrogen, enhancing overall safety and efficiency.

The machine’s excess energy is derived from a type of Coulomb to kinetic transform.  Basically it is similar to the energy released during nuclear fission, but releasing pressure, not heat. As in a nuclear reaction, there is no violation of the laws of thermodynamics.

In the US and elsewhere nuclear reactors are located on bodies of freshwater. Since all the transmission connections already terminate at nuclear reactors these would be the optimum locations for Europe facilities.
