DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The present invention will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments of this invention are presented herein for the purpose of illustration and description only; it is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.

Referring to the drawings, the gravity system of the present invention for generating electricity is illustrated. Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a perspective diagram showing a preferred embodiment for generating electricity by gravity and long mechanical leverage arms according to the present invention. A gravity generating system includes a system body 8, a conveyer circulating device 5, and a generator 1. The system body 8 is a frame used for supporting other parts of the system including four long mechanical leverage arms and conveyer cylinder tanks. The working medium is stored in the lower tank 9 and pumped directly to the first top conveyer cylinder tank. As all the said conveyer cylinder tanks 3 are filled going down the working medium continually fills to the first empty conveyer cylinder tank as it comes up and change direction, downwardly of which the said conveyer cylinders tank are substantially vertically spacedly mounted on the circulating device 5 and moved vertically due to the impulse as a result of receiving the working medium. The circulating device 5 circulates on the system body 8 continuously corresponding to the downward motion as gravity force, and drives the working shaft of 4 motor to be rotated thus the said motor 4 requiring minimum turning torque. The generator 1 then converts the kinetic energy to electric energy. The falling working medium is pumped into the upper conveyer cylinder tank 3 for continuous operation. The theory of this system in FIG. 1 is to transform potential energy of working medium to electrical energy along with the long mechanical leverage arms.

Referring to the drawing in FIG. 2, discloses use of long mechanical leverage arms and gravity to generate electricity in this device wherein an example of with exact calculation and breakdown is illustrated of operating a 60 Kw generator 7 with aid of said device. The said 60 Kw generator 7 is connected to a output shaft of primary transmission 5 of a ratio of 1;1500, the said transmission 5 input shaft has four of the second end of the long mechanical leverage arms connected with one way clutch assemblies' 3 of which many types of one way clutch assemblies can be used, such as ratchet type one way clutch, a sheet metal lifting clamp type of a one way clutch, a bearing type one way clutch, heavy duty trucks clutch and pressure plate assemblies used with a aid of a computer to operate a screw drive to release and engage as a one way clutch, a disc rotor and caliper type to stop the rotor and release, operated by computer as one way clutch with some modifications, thus rotating the primary transmission 5 input shaft in one direction as the four 100 feet long mechanical leverage arms 14 reciprocates with aid of a separate first vertical conveyer 2 that has 50 feet height on 6 inch diameter sprocket gears 8, 1 and chains lubricated in a oil bath, each first end of long mechanical leverage arm 14 is independently fixed to separate sprocket chain 12, 4, 16, 18 on sliding bearings at a specific fixed location on each of the individual sprocket chain, as the sprocket gears 8, 1 are rotated on a common shaft, the said sprocket chains exerts force on the each first end of long mechanical leverage arm 14 thus a reciprocation motion plays a vital role applying a positive turn on the primary transmission 5 input shaft whereby the one way clutches 3 on the second end of the said four long mechanical leverage arms 14. The said electrical motor of 2 hp, 3000 rpm 3.5 lbft of torque 4 in Diameter 11 is connected to a secondary transmission 10 with a ratio of 1:7.5 turning a v-belt or sprocket chain gear of 30 inch Diameter 6 on a common shaft of the 6 inch sprocket gear 8. A larger diameter conveyer ends are placed on the common 8, 1 shafts that conveys the conveyer cylinders tanks 17 from top to bottom filled with working medium to apply gravity force as the emptied conveyer cylinder tanks 17 rises on the said conveyer to the top are filled with the working material from the first tank 13 by the pump 15 that has is a 10 hp pump consuming 6 Kw power 50 ft head height, pumping 500 gal of water a minute that equites to 4170 lbs water weight therefore all of 500 gallons in the conveyer cylinder tanks 17 when filled from the top going down of the said conveyer system to the bottom equals to 4170 lb of force continuously as each of the conveyer cylinder tanks 17 at the top get filled repeatedly and the same time each of the bottom conveyer cylinder tanks gets emptied repeatedly, thus gravity force of 4170 lbs is applied to each of the first end of the long mechanical leverage arms 14 consistently as the each said long mechanical leverage arms 14 repeatedly applies force, this force is multiplied by 100 ft applying a torque of 417,000 lbft torque with the aid of one way clutches 3 furthermore the said electrical 2 hp motor 11 applies addition torque of 3.5 lbft multiplied by 7.5 secondary transmission ratio equals 26.25 lbft multiplied by 5 (the difference between 6 in sprocket gear 8, 1 and 30 in v-belt or sprocket gear 6) equals 131 lbft plus 4170 lb of water weight equal 4301 lbs. that would produce 430,100 lbft force on the primary transmission 5. The said generator 7 in this example is a 60 Kw equals 281.71 lbft torque at 1500 rpm therefore the total torque required at the primary transmission 5 input shaft equals to 422,557.75 lbft divide by 100 ft equals 4225.75 minus 4301.00 lbft produced by the conveyer system equals to 75.7 lbft positive transferred to the said generator at full load.

All four of the said long mechanical arms are equally spaced to function and maintain a continuous reciprocation action and a positive turn on the primary transmission input shaft though the use of one way clutches whereby turning the generator. It is understood that second conveyer conveying cylinders can be on the right or the left as one and function to apply gravity force. The motor 7 maintain 3000 rpm turning the secondary gearbox 3 output shaft 8 whereby maintain a constant speed at the said shaft 8 and 5
