Engine using bouyant elements

Wheel apparatus comprising in combination:

• a. a reservoir containing a liquid;
• b. a wheel mounted for rotation within the reservoir, the wheel rotating about a central axis, the central axis extending substantially horizontally;
• c. a plurality of float members movably supported by the wheel within the liquid for both rotational movement about the central axis, as well as for movement generally toward or away from the central axis, each of the plurality of float members being buoyant within the liquid, the plurality of float members being spaced generally symmetrically about the wheel;
• d. each float member being coupled with a diametrically opposed float member disposed on an opposite side of the wheel;
• e. each float member having a first magnetic polarity;
• f. a fixed electro-magnet positioned generally above the wheel and having the same magnetic polarity as the plurality of float members for repelling each float member as each float member rotates past the fixed electro-magnet, and urging each passing float member to move radially inward.
