Abstract The purpose of this project is to design, build and test a new, efficient mode of transportation for products travelling against gravity using volumetrically equivalent displacement of water. This methodology will lift masses with near 100% efficiency while preserving the ability for most marine life to travel the waterway. Effectively, this is a solar powered system that is simple and cost efficient.
