ZPEnergy.com - Gravity into Power

Via KeelyNet.com: After about four years of planning and development through trial and error – including about a year-and-a-half creating the designs on paper - Bob Kostoff has reached his goal. He now owns the patent on the technology to prove it. The result was 'The Gravity Powered Machine.' The self-sustaining engine provides as little as 10 foot-pounds of torque or as much as hundreds, Kostoff said, adding how its cost is less than half of a small wind turbine.

The machine – which only requires a little bit of start-up juice before it creates enough power to sustain itself - works much like a teeter-totter, using a series of sliding weights that, with the help of the earths gravitational pull, force the unit to continue spinning around in a circle. Install a series of magnets in the unit and tens of thousands of watts of electricity can be produced, an amount that depends on the size of the actual machine. “You can get off the hydro grid with one of these,” Kostoff told The Lindsay Post. So far, about five of the units have been made. Once he got the concept down, he said he began fine-tuning the more cosmetic aspects of the machine, such as reducing noise. “Once you figure it out, it's just about perfecting it,” he said. The machines can be used in a variety of applications, Kostoff said, because they produce electricity at no cost. For example, he said the units can be used to generate the power needed for electrolysis, a process that creates hydrogen, a “free fuel” that could be used to power your personal vehicle.

It produces all the energy needed to run a generator large enough to provide power for all the hydro and heat needed for your home. This patented system can be as small as producing 10 foot pounds of torque or as much as over 300 foot pounds of torque. Each unit is approximately 8 feet by 4 feet by 6 feet tall and is totally enclosed for safely protection against moving parts.
