That has the same problems as heavier-than-air fluids. If you used some sort of magnetic arrangement ... a suspension? I'm not thinking that you have mechanical parts, a magnet on rails or anything. You could use electrical fields to move the magnetic stuff. Although this will pose an issue with the electronics... I'm not the one ever planning to build one of these.

That way you only need to open a valve,the gas will automatically fill the chamber Or, instead of water, have some kind of gas that tries to raise.
