The present situation of social life requires large quantity of energy in all forms. But it is noticed that there is a huge deficiency of energy like wind, solar, hydroelectric, thermal power etc. This can become scarce/ unavailable at anytime. Here comes the importance of looking out for new techniques of non-perishable and renewable energy sources. In this connection, major importance goes to gravitational force that is available all around but this force has not been properly tapped and has not been put to adequate and appropriate use. If this force is converted into mechanical energy as stated above it will definitely an unlimited source of energy. This will enhance the most needed aspect of our country as well as the world. This will be definitely provide a solution to improve the present need of electrical energy deficit in a non-polluting way. Due to the ongoing need for sustainable generation of energy and the continued problems associated with energy generation and the shortages of usable energy supplies, improved system and methods are needed that generate energy or power at increased levels of efficiency. Prior art
There is no specific prior art which relates to a device and a method for the conversion of gravitational energy into electrical energy .
All around the world people are trying to generate new forms of energy to satisfy their increasing needs in this connection. Number of experiments have been conducted by people in the fields of hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, solar, biogas to produce mechanical energy. But no effective and permanent solution has been found so far to find out a new form of tapping and converting energy continuously that can be utilized without environmental hazards .
A lot of study on conversion of gravitational force into mechanical energy has also been conducted from various angles but attempts to tap and use the gravitational force to convert it to electrical energy have met with limited success
In this connection, the present invention has been able to fill the" gap and is able to generate continuous, loaded, controlled electrical energy from gravitational force
The use of electrical energy being an inevitable fact in human life. In today's life we come across many sources of energy by which electrical energy is produced. All these sources like solar, hydroelectric , wind , thermal etc are not very reliable and constantly available which will not only result in the enhancement of cost of production but also adversely effect constant supply
This present invention relates to a device for conversion of gravitational energy to electrical energy which can be made available at a low cost to the common man. The use and conversion of ever present gravitational force will ensure low cost of production of energy and this gravitational force is non diminishing. This will turn a new era in the energy production.

To start the device , the out put of the supporting unit (10) is connected to an electrical source which results in driving the hydraulic power pack (12) of the supporting unit by the electric motor ( 12 A) The electric motor pressurizes the fluid inside the hydraulic power pack . The pressure generated inside the hydraulic power pack drives the arms of the pistons (13) fixed on both the sides of the pendulums (2). The pendulums are moved mechanically one by one to either one of the pistons placed on its sides .When the pendulums touch the arm of the piston (13 A) , the timer relay ( Not shown) placed inside the main control panel(l l) starts and after a lapse of the predetermined time , the pendulums move to the other piston arm (13 A) . This procedure is continued resulting in continuous oscillations of the pendulums After sustaining continuous oscillations of the pendulums ,the main connecting shaft reaches a constant and continuous rotation which results in the conversion of gravitational force into mechanical energy . The mechanical energy so generated is converted into electrical energy by the alternator through the gear box.. On the conversion of the mechanical energy into electrical energy , the external power source is cut off automatically through the relay system present in the main control panel . Subsequently , a portion of the electrical energy so produced is used for continuous running of the hydraulic power pack which in turn continuously drives the pendulums and the balance r portion of the electrical energy is tapped through the output of the supporting unit(lθ) which was earlier connected to an external power source . This electrical energy so generated can be used for various purposes such as for the operation of electric appliances and industrial machines any Advantages of the invention
