INTRODUCTION
The basic concept of gravity power generation
mechanism is, when a body moves down from higher
altitude to lower one its potential energy is converted
into kinetic energy. This motion is converted into
circular motion and that circular motion is converted
into electricity by using a gravity generator. If the
gravitational power electric generation can be
implemented then it can replace all existing nuclear
and fossil fuel plants.

PRINCIPLE
When a body is at certain height from the
ground,
it possesses potential
energy
Due to gravitational pull the body falls
down. In this process, potential energy is
converted to kinetic energy in the form of
torque.

PRINCIPLE

Energy conversion

GRAVITY GENERATOR
A gravity power generation mechanism utilizes a
gravity energy conversion unit to convert the gravity
potential energy into the kinetic energy.
The gravity energy conversion unit produces
positive torques by adopting outward-spreading
single directional swing arms and reduces the
negative torques by cooperating with the folding
action of the single directional swing arms, so as to
perform a long-time, effective and continuous energy
conversion of converting gravity potential energy
into the kinetic Energy.

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
Force experienced by two bodies separated by a distance.

DESIGN
The apparatus consists of crank and pin
arrangement bearing variable loads and
supporting stand.
The arrangement of pulley in such a way
that diameter of upper pulley is large as
compared to the bottom pulley and these two
pulleys are aligned in a vertical plane.

MAIN COMPONENTS
Gravia lamp
Gravia lamp is an LED-lit floor lamp energized by
people.
To light gravia lamp, the user places a mass approximately 48
above the ground that, in falling powers a mechanism generating
electricity.

Gravity generator
A gravity power generation mechanism utilizes a gravity energy
conversion unit to convert the gravity potential energy into the
kinetic energy.

Flywheel
mechanism
Flywheel
is a rotating disc that stores energy as
kinetic energy.
The faster the flywheel spins the more kinetic
energy it stores

Arrangement

WORKING
The arrangement requires some initial force to
rotate the variable loads in circular motion, after that
it will works on gravitational force in which the loads
from the higher altitude are fall down due to the
gravitational energy and hence the lower loads are
pulled up due to the movement of upper load and
hence the chain will continue for some duration.
The arrangement utilizes a gravity energy conversion
unit to convert the gravity potential energy into the
kinetic energy.

FUTURE
SCOPE
Whether a developing
nation with ambitions of
economic growth, or an industrialized region moving
towards a low carbon economy, the challenges of
future electricity production are shared.

Therefore an attempt is made to generate electricity

with an eco -friendly concept using Gravity. The shown
prototype is a simple one which generates little
voltage.

ADVANTAGES
The main advantage of the gravitational power generation mechanism
such arrangements
More simplified structure
Higher conversion ratio
More environment-friendly but only needs a little starting energy to
perform a long time
It can be parallel connected to the wind power and the solar power
generation systems to generate electricity.

APPLICATIONS
Appliances like flash lights, radios, lanterns, torches, calculators,
watches and cameras with low when voltage ranging between 1.2
-9V can be powered.
Cell phone batteries oscillating between 3.6 4.2V can be charged.
Toys with batteries voltage ranging between 1.2 9V can be power.
Alkaline and Zn-C batteries that require 1.5V are charged.

CONCLUSION
Gravity power is the heart of earth so we can use this power till the
worlds end The other main advantage of the gravitational power
generation mechanism such arrangements, the gravity power
generation mechanism not only has the advantages such as: more
simplified structure, higher conversion ratio and more environmentfriendly but only needs a little starting energy to perform a long time
energy is that it can independently generate electricity and it can be
parallel connected to the wind power and the solar power generation
systems to generate electricity.
