Simply not true. I agree that any "friction heating" of the water is so minor as to be inconsequential but disagree about the cast weights. They absolutely consume power, lots of it, as does any rotational mass, like the wheel/tire assemblies. Because water does not rotate with the tire and cast iron weights do, physics tells us that when comparing identical weights, one in liquid ballast and the other in external cast iron wheel weights, the external weights consume far more power.
