    Abstract: A gravity motor configured to generate rotational torque is provided. The gravity motor may include a primary axle supported by a frame structure. A primary load wheel may be positioned on the primary axle. Arms with slots extending from a central location may be attached to each side of the primary load wheel. The arms may allow weights to slide along the primary load wheel. A plurality of rotatable drive members may be fixed to corresponding transfer sprocket axles such that one end of the transfer sprocket axles is rotatably mounted to the frame structure. A plurality of weight attachment units are affixed to transfer sprockets in an arrangement such that the weight attachment units are configured to hook weights sliding along the primary load wheel. The configuration of the weights enable the gravity motor to convert gravitational potential energy of the weights to rotational torque of the primary axle.
