INTRODUCTIONThe 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.

When a body is at certain height from the ground, it possesses potential energy

PRINCIPLE

Due to gravitational pull the body falls down. In this process, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy in the form of torque.

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.

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.

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

Gravity generator

Flywheel mechanismFlywheel 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 SCOPEWhether 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.
