upward from an egg.
The close to vertical climb may indicate
that buoys could be used in a perpetual
motion machine.

and Free-Falling Buoys, Second Iteration.
EXPERIMENTS
Recently I found that the bubbles boiling off of eggs seem to
follow a nearly vertical path. This would seem to indicate,
that as long as heat is not the most significant factor in the
vertical aspect, that it may be possible to use buoys placed
vertically or nearly vertically in comparison to one another.
This would serve to vindicate my view that the major fault
with Tatay's design was that entry resistance was not
overcome.
Included here are a number of photographs of the vertical
bubbles phenomenon with boiling eggs.
