You are basically talking about a perpetual motion machine....against the rules of Thermodynamics. It will eventually slow down and stop. You have to remember that despite anything you were ever taught in school or even College....GRAVITY IS NOT A FORCE....it is SPACE/TIME GEOMETRY. No one has ever discovered a GRAVITON or the HIGGS-BOSON PARTICLE despite all the money and particle colliding done at the LHC.

I have recently become interested in the idea of a gravity driven engine that works off of inertia, and kinetic energy. The idea of making power without the constant aid of fuel or electricity is very intriguing to me. Unfortunately I don�t think we will ever see anything like this anytime soon; because there is way too much of a vested financial/economic interest in the oil driven economy today. The oil companies have lots of money and power, and a big interest in suppressing things like fuel-less power. I 'm also not sure the worlds economy could stay intact and strong without fossil fuels.
I have searched around on the internet and found a few things.

www.fuellesspower.com...
www.fuellesspower.com...
the fueless power site has some other interesting stuff like the fueless heater thing, and a few other things.
Anyway I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on gravity engines? I would love to see some other designs and hear what people have to say about this topic.

Dear split infinity,it seems you have not read my comment properly,I was telling that Perpectual machines are not possible but Non - Perpectual machines are possible!Most people believe that all gravity engines are Perpectual and hence impossible,which is false!Anyway,thanks!Please once again read my comment properly!edit on 8-3-2012 by Aman16 because: (no reason given)
Gravity can't be used as a power source on its own. It works great if you can continuously get something heavy up high, but it takes energy to get the mass up there... more energy than you'll get from it coming back down.

You need to see my reply to boosted!Your idea is nothing new ,it just a resorviour dam,we want much easier and convinient way of producing power.There are some additional things required as in my principle of operation of my gravity engine:The force distribution pattern,impulsive energy utilisation and 4 flywheels!My engine is not Perpectual and works on gravitational amplification mainly,through impulsive energy!It's a real gravity engine!Probably,this is most efficient and simplest promising analogous principle of operation of any simple real gravity engine.Note:I have described analogy of my engine in reply to boosted.Due to patent processing,I can't disclose the exact engine specs!
My principle of operation of my gravity engine design:
Impulsive force means sudden very large force in small time(considered microseconds mainly).
You spent energy to take object up,and regain supplied energy when object comes down PLUS gravitational amplification occurs when that object (Lets take example of basket ball)hits a basket ball net with small hole at bottom.When the basket ball hits the net,the net sets in vibration due to IMPULSIVE energy(gravitational amplification) .Assume that the net is piezo electric elastic material which converts impulsive energy to electrical energy!The basket ball is analogous to 4 flywheels I used in my original engine design.(I use pusher rods to transmit energy to flywheels in my original design).edit on 9-3-2012 by Aman16 because: (no reason given)

I am basically using two concepts:
1) impulsive energy utilisation
2) Force distribution.
I have discussed analogy regarding 1st principle ( principle similar to what is actually used in my engine) on:

If you take a ball up through straight vertical and let it come downward through semicircle with the centre of circumference of semicircle,being slightly extended as a slightly sharp more outward corner,gravitational work done to let ball slide along the curved path is more than work supplied to lift up ball in upward vertical direction.

I read some of your materials posted at the links provided, and they don't make sense. This is one example:

Really???????????
