Abstract

Conserving energy has become the biggest issue in present scenario. Due to the development and modernization the electricity demand is increasing at high extent. To fulfil this demand globally which is without any harmful effect on environment is possible by using gravity power generation. The reason behind generating power by using gravity is that it is available all over the earth. Our aim is to create a solution that is affordable – without locking people into on- going costs – but not at the expense of quality or elegant design. Gravity Light offers people an opportunity to break the fuel poverty cycle cause by kerosene lamps. This starts a positive cycle – of money saved, increased productive hours and improved health. In parallel, by replacing kerosene lamps, Gravity Light eliminates the carbon dioxide and black carbon these emit. In recent times due to effects of pollution and global warming there is a need for generating power from renewable sources. The reason for generating power using gravity is that it is available all over the Earth, abundant and consistent too. In this project, the gravitational energy of a heavy particle is converted to the electrical energy. When the heavy particle falls down from a higher altitude to a lower one, its potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy. Then this energy is converted to electricity by using a synchronous motor. With the increasing of the altitude of the load, the lighting time increases. If load increases, power production also increases, but the lighting time decreases.
