GRAVITATIONAL ENERGY SYSTEM

摘要

A gravitational energy system for generating gravity-driven hydraulic pressure for residential and commercial energy use is provided. The gravitational energy system may be a hydraulic fluid-filled circulatory system providing a storage tank, a mass-lifting tank, a hydraulic accumulator tank and at least one hydraulic motor positioned in a descending gravitational hierarchy, respectively. The hydraulic accumulator tank may pressurize a hydraulic fluid by a predetermined mass moving from a receiving position to a pressurizing position, wherein the predetermine mass is moved to the receiving position by being operably engaged with the mass-lifting tank. The gravitational energy system may include a control circuitry configured to control the flow of the hydraulic fluid through the circulatory system by operating electronically interconnected sensors and conduit valves.

1. A gravity-driven circulatory system for providing energy as pressurized hydraulic fluid, comprising:
a plurality of tanks for receiving a hydraulic fluid, wherein each tank is connected in series in a descending gravitational hierarchy comprising:
a storage tank;a mass-lifting tank, wherein the mass-lifting tank is disposed downwardly of and connected to the storage tank, wherein the mass-lifting tank is independently mounted so as to be vertically moveable in a empty position and in a full position relative to the amount of the hydraulic fluid in its cavity; anda hydraulic accumulator tank, wherein the hydraulic accumulator tank is disposed downwardly of and connected to the mass-lifting tank; and a lifting mass assembly extending between the mass-lifting tank and the hydraulic accumulator tank, wherein the lifting mass assembly comprises:
a predetermined mass disposed within the hydraulic accumulator tank, wherein the predetermined mass is positionable in a receiving position for receiving the hydraulic fluid into the hydraulic accumulator tank and a pressurizing position for pressurizing the hydraulic fluid disposed within the hydraulic accumulator tank; anda chain and pulley system operably interconnected to the predetermined mass and the mass-lifting tank so that when the mass-lifting tank moves toward the full position the predetermined mass moves to the receiving position, and vice versa; and a fourth conduit interconnecting the hydraulic accumulator tank and the storage tank.
