The invention relates to a conveying device for producing energy, comprising a circulating conveying member (10) of containers (11), which have a load strand and a return strand, the conveying device being equipped in such a way that the conveying device slides or rolls downward by means of the load strand on a inclined plane having an angle (alpha), wherein the load strand moves the return strand, and a device for drawing power (5) arranged on the conveying member and being moved by the circulating conveying member (10), said device comprising a means (3) for removing energy from the device (5). The method for operating the device is characterized in that, while the conveying member (10) is circulating, the first container (11) running into the load strand (in the area of arrow A) is loaded with a burdening good and said good is discharged shortly before exiting the load strand (at arrow B). Said good can be liquid or a solid bulk material. The angle of the inclined plane, the length of the load strand, the filling degree of the containers, or the combination of two or all three possibilities can be selected depending on the power demand. |
