Patent number: 11988198Abstract: The invention is a system and method of generating hydraulic gravitational energy. Specifically, traditional gravitational electricity systems use a weight as a battery. However, the weight must be pulled upwards after it is dropped, which expends the created energy. In contrast, the disclosed arrangement employs a hydraulic system to lift the weight from a lower height to an upper height. Notably, hydraulics create more energy than is exerted. Thus, using hydraulics to lift the weight multiplies the energy produced each time the weight is dropped from a first height to a second, lower height. As a result, gravitational solutions can extend beyond non-traditional batteries, and can be used to generate electricity instead.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Inventor: Owen W. Brock
