METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ENERGY CONVERSION Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves use of force, primarily gravity force, for lifting heavy bodies (gravitational energy carriers) to desired height Potential energy of lifted bodies is used according to known engineering solutions; for example, mechanical energy is converted to electricity. Device implementing this method is built around coil-shaped balanced rotor used as unequal-arm lever resting on rollers under offset center of gravity parallel to axis of revolution. EFFECT: reduced cost of energy production. 5 cl, 3 dwg, 1 tbl
