Continuous swinging machine

Your best bet would be to design around the natural period of oscillation as this will minimise the amount of energy required. $$ T = 2 \pi \sqrt {\frac L g} $$ where $T$ is the periodic time, $L$ is ...

How to calculate the required power to pump out (to vacuum) a container?

Following on from @kamran's answer and ignoring the slight change in pressure as the 1 L piston moves, you can calculate the force required at each step as $ F = \Delta P \times A $ (pressure ...

Is a Geodesic Dome (fuller dome) that floats possible? What material or engineering effort would it take?

You question makes mention of "float" but you later make the point that you made "no mention of water or any other liquid". That certainly creates confusion. If you are talking ...
