But this time we use two systems. One system pipe+container we fill up with the same amount of gas, but cool it down which should give us a lower level. The 2nd system pipe+container we heat the gas which should give us a higher level. Now give both systems enough time within the same environment (sunlight+air). Wouldn't they both strafe towards the same balance within the environment and consequently both end up having the same gas-level within the pipes in both Systems? | |

Think of the same experiment but instead of water, use some ideal gas on a planet with much higher gravity than earth. Would the gas-level(as in water level inside the pipe) after you extracted pressure/energy from the container and then re-pressurized it by opening the shutter, remain the same (lower level) at all times, or would it balance itself with the environment it is within to a different level (higher as i assume), given you gave it enough time? | |
