Zusammenfassung:	The invention is a system for simultaneously aerating and agitating a body of liquid. The system comprises a hollow body that is pivotally supported from one end in a pool of liquid. The body has a negative buoyancy so that its unsupported end tends to hang down in the liquid. Means are provided for introducing a gas into the body at its unsupported end to aerate and displace liquid therein. The body is adapted to trap sufficient gas to provide a buoyancy force that causes the body to pivot and rise in the liquid. Means are also provided for releasing the gas trapped by the body when it has pivoted to a predetermined angular position, with the result that the body begins to fall and to fill with liquid from near the surface of the body of liquid. The body pivots on its support in cyclic fashion.
