Wrong argument. A neutral density object miss the original
working mechanism, hence that's no valid argument.

Wrong again.
The resistance force is equal to the speed square times
the aerodynamic coefficient. The aerodynamic coefficient
could be about 0.3 or less.

You miss the basic mechanism to have power.
Power is force times velocity and one must work this
problem at the lowest possible velocity and the maximum
force possible.

The buoyancy potential is based in the Archimedes principle
and Archimedes principle has nothing to do with heat.
Archimedes principle is about force.
