An apparatus for gravity-based power generation is described in this disclosure. The apparatus may include: a main shaft; a plurality of radially extending arm assemblies that may be attached to the main shaft from their proximal ends and may be rotatable with the main shaft in a vertical trajectory. Each arm assembly may include an arm and a weight assembly mounted on the arm. Each arm may be configured with an adjustable length and each weight assembly may be configured with an adjustable mass and an adjustable position on its respective arm. The arm assemblies may be kept in a continuous rotational movement along the vertical trajectory by changing at least one of the adjustable length, the adjustable mass, and the adjustable position in predefined regions along the vertical trajectory.

A device that produces linear motion by sequentially and in a continuous sequence accelerating inertial thrust masses at well-defined times towards the axis of counter-rotating disks. The inertial thrust masses are contained in cavities placed equidistantly about the periphery of counter rotating capture disks mounted on a common axle. They are radially accelerated by a bi-directional impulse ramps that can be moved to any position around the periphery of the counter rotating capture plates and into and out of the paths of the gyrating thrust masses to any desired depth within the mechanical range of the impulse ramps which simultaneously engage and radially accelerate the inertial thrust masses of each counter-rotating capture plate. The counter-rotating capture plates are each separately driven by a gear assembly powered by an external engine or motor that powers the rotation of the disks. Each radial acceleration of the inertial thrust masses produces an impulse of force that pushes against the mass accelerator with a force equal to the force used to radially accelerate each thrust mass. Each impulse is a vector force and imparts motion along the chosen vector to any object to which the device is attached.

A leverage generator apparatus for generating electricity from energy transferred from a one or more partially rotating levers each operating on one or more triangular weighted swivel devices that are propelled over a center point on the partially rotating lever by one or more piston switches and actuators and each supported by a triangular support structure operating as a fulcrum at a center-point of the one or more partially rotating levers, such that the energy transferred from the leverage generator turns a crankshaft linked to a generator device. A renewable energy vertical leverage generator apparatus generates electricity from energy transferred by one or more pairs of rotating triangular weight car harness structures travelling on a track system operating as a receptacle to capture weighted car devices such that the triangular weight car harness structures rotate three hundred sixty degrees to produce forces sufficient to turn an axel of a generator device.

Society today is heavily dependent on electricity for everyday life. There are many different types of electrical generators. The present invention uses the concept of a conventional swing to produce electricity. On a conventional swing, humans are the prime movers, keeping the swing in motion by body movements and pumping the legs. The present invention produces rotation in a generator by operating a prime mover that mimics these human movements on a conventional swing. In the present invention, a mechanized prime Mover, in human form, takes the place of a persons body movements to keep the swing in motion.

A rotary driving apparatus 1 includes a rotary body 5, rotation detecting means 6, six rotary weight devices 7a to 7f on the body 5, and a power generation device 8. The devices 7a to 7f include a rotary arm 10 rotatably mounted to the body 5, the arms 10 at approximately six-fold symmetrical positions around the point O, a motor 11 to rotate the arm 10 at a rotational speed same as the body 5 in a rotation direction opposite to a rotation direction of the body 5, and a weight 12 on a free end side of the arm 10. The devices 7a to 7f are controlled by the motors 11 such that all the arms 10 are oriented laterally on a same side, and the body 5 is rotated by a weight balance of all the weights 12 on all the arms 10 around the point O.

A gravity-assisted rotational mechanism and a generator device cooperating therewith. The gravity-assisted rotational mechanism includes multiple concentric rotational members having different sizes and rotatable about the same rotational center, several link members having equal weights for driving the same, and at least one connection member for pivotally connecting the rotational members with the link members. The rotational members can symmetrically push/pull each other. The link members and connection member are respectively mounted on interference sections of at least some of the rotational members to absorb gravitational energy. The energy of the link members is transmitted via the interference sections to the rotational members to form a cycle of energy storage and transmission. The generator device serves to convert the gravitational energy and minimize the rotational inertia loss and increase yield rate of electrical energy.

An engine system includes three communicating fluid vessels that each contain a fluid. A first interconnecting fluid conduit containing the fluid rotatably couples the second fluid vessel to the first fluid vessel and acts as a lever. A second interconnecting fluid conduit containing the fluid rotatably couples the third fluid vessel to the first fluid vessel and acts as another lever. By increasing the fluid column heights in the communicating fluid vessels, torque is applied to the levers to cause the second and third fluid vessels to revolve around the first fluid vessel.

The engine system with communicating fluid vessels has an interconnecting lever conduit configured to rotate about an axis. A first fluid container is fluidically connected to the interconnecting lever conduit and positioned at or near the axis. A second fluid container is fluidically connected to the interconnecting lever conduit and positioned at or near an end of the interconnecting lever conduit. Liquid fluid is movable between the first and second fluid containers through the interconnecting lever conduit. The interconnecting lever conduit with the first and second fluid containers is rotationally balanced about the axis. A shift of fluid mass between the first and second fluid containers rotates the lever about the axis, thereby generating an energy output.

The engine system with communicating fluid vessels has first, second, and third fluid containers each containing a fluid. At least one interconnecting lever conduit contains the fluid and is rotatably coupled to the first, second, and third fluid containers. The interconnecting lever conduit is pivotal about an axis and defines a fluid passageway by which the first, second, and third fluid containers are in fluid communication. At least one buoyant member and at least one holding tank are positioned in each of the first and third fluid containers. A tether is physically linking together the holding tank of each of the first and third fluid containers. Supplying the gas to the interior of the holding tank displaces at least some of the fluid from the interior of the holding tank to increase a column height of the fluid in each of the first, second, and third fluid containers.
