BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
My quest for a machine that runs without the need of any fossil fuel, nuclear, or any prime mover that needs consumable materials or elements, started in August 1970 in my Earth Science subject. Henceforth, I searched and studied perpetual motion machines run by gravity, flywheel, spring, electromagnet, but I found out all are bulky and impracticable since most of them will stop running even if a minuscule weight is loaded. I concentrated on known renewable energies as well, but all have limitations and drawbacks. The search went on until I was engaged in water pump using lever.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In general, the principle and concept adapted by P3M3 SL, along with its predecessors, is the Perfect Balance. It adapts the principles of equilibrium where a lever is used to pump water, air, oil, or to create pressure. In mid 1980s I became interested in water pumps technology. Example (please refer to Exhibit A): If the weight of the water inside a deep well pump with a length of 40-foot pipe is 20 kgs., that is from the tip of the lever where the piston is attached to the connecting rod, all the way down to the tip of the pipe, is counterbalanced by the same weight (20 kgs) on the other end of the lever, which is the tip of the handle, then pumping out half liter or 0.5 kg of water (Output Operation) can be made even through the tip of my finger. Now the big problem is how to get back from the previous position of the lever (which is from FIG. A, FIG. B to FIG. C) where the weight of the water inside the 40-foot pipe can no longer act as a counterbalance since the valve is closed. The same problem will occur! Only this time, the weight problem is shifted to the counterweight instead of the water weight. How to get back from the previous position, which is FIG. A is the invention, which is the object this patent application.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF DRAWINGS
To preclude obstruction of the view of the P3M3 SL machine's parts specifically the vital parts and moreover, to visualize clearly the operation and the workability of P3M3, the frame, foundation and platform are not drawn and some parts' length and width are expanded, rearranged for clearer picture but do not affect the presentation of the process. Actually, the drawings expound only on how P3M3 SL works as a prime mover using the Techniques and Principles of Perfect Balanced and not on how the discharged highly pressurized Hydraulic Oil or Water drives the Turbine attached to the Generator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In all honesty, P3M3 SL's technical aspect is simple. P3M3 SL is a machine of basic of all basics. It works primarily on the techniques and underlying the Principles of Equilibrium. But how does P3M3 SL handle the Input and Output Operations, the known problem since man existed? P3M3 SL has employed simple techniques that have not been discovered since time immemorial? These techniques are fully described and consolidated in the illustration of P3M3 Embodiments.
1) P3M3 SL Components
- A. Weights—since we are dealing with weights, I need to define and described the two most important actual weights significant to the machine's workability.
- 1. Weight Pressure (pressure created by the weight)—the total weight of 1, 2 and 5.
- 2. Balancing Weight—the calculated weight to equally counter the weight of Weight Pressure 1.

2. The Input/Output Operations of P3M3
- A. Discharge/Output Process—the process where the Intake/Discharge Piston 18 discharges Hydraulic Oil 10 from the Intake/Discharge Chamber 19 going through the Discharge Valve 14 and Cylinder 6 of which half of it goes to Turbine and Electric Generator and finally the other half goes to the Weight Pressure Chamber 5. In this process, the Intake Valve 11 is closed while the Discharge Valve 14 is open. The Intake/Discharge Piston and Balancing Weight Lever 30's Tip A travels in a downward direction while its Tip B travels in an upward direction.
- B. Intake/Output Process—the process where the Intake/Discharge Piston 18 draws Hydraulic Oil 10 from the Hydraulic Oil Tank 9 which passes through the Intake Valve 11, the Intake Pipe 13 and finally stores it in the Intake/Discharge Chamber 19. In this process, the Intake Valve 11 is open while the Discharge Valve 14 is closed. Intake/Discharge Piston and Balancing Weight Lever 30's Tip A travels in upward direction while its Tip B travels in a downward direction.
3. P3M3 SL Housekeeping
- Before running the P3M3 SL, whether it is the first time or from repair or maintenance the following housekeeping must be undertaken:
- A. Calibration/Preparation
- 1. Balancing Weight—the calculated weight to counter the weight of Weight Pressure 1.
- 2. Momentum Spring—to be calibrated on how to counter the momentum of one end of the lever that has downward force where upon reaching the end of the travel the compressed Momentum Spring can give a backward push.
- 3. Friction or Mechanical Losses—calculating how much energy or force needed to determine the Crankshaft Drive Motor 22 power to overcome the friction and the pressurized Hydraulic Oil 10 behavior to run the Turbine and Electric Generator 27 according to the desired revolution per minute RPM.
- B. Priming
- Filling the Hydraulic Oil Tank 9 the amount of Hydraulic Oil 10 needed by the Intake/Output Process and Discharge/Output Process.
4) P3M3 SL Embodiment
- The Intake/Output Process and Discharge/Output Process—The running of the Electric Generator of which the P3M3 is the prime mover.
- With most, if not all, of P3M3 SL's significant terminologies have been defined and their functions described, I hope that with the aid of drawings P3M3 SL's workability can be easily understood. Please note that with the P3M3 SL Start Position of the Intake/Output Process FIG. 6 and the P3M3 SL End Position of the of the Discharge/Output Process FIG. 5 are the same except that the latter (FIG. 5) the Weight Pressure 1 rested on the Weight Pressure Rest Rod 31. Likewise, the End Position of the Intake/Output Process FIG. 8 and the Start Position of the Discharge/Output Process FIG. 1 are also the same except that the former (FIG. 8) the Weight Pressure 1 rested on the Weight Pressure Rest Rod 31. Although there is a sort of drawing duplication, the objective is to show clearly both the Intake Valve 11 and the Discharge Valve 14 of the above processes are closed, a complete process that is from the start to end of both processes. There are also similarities between the drawings of the Continuing Position of Discharge/Output Process FIG. 4 and the Continuing Position of Intake/Output Process FIG. 7. However, the difference between the two is their valve positioning, the Intake Valve 11 is open while the Discharge Valve 14 is closed during the Intake/Output Process while the Intake Valve 11 is closed, and the Discharge Valve 14 is open during the Discharge/Output Process. Moreover, in the continuing position, the Crankshaft Connecting Rod 25 in Discharge/Output Process FIG. 4 is on the left while in the Intake/Output Process FIG. 7 the Crankshaft Connecting Rod 25 is on the right.
