The gravity-lever-actuated rotating engine produces energy by utilizing a combination of forces, such as gravity, centrifugal force, and air pressure, causing a lever arm featuring shifting weights to rotate about an axis. Accordingly, the gravity-lever-actuated rotating engine appears to produce more energy than is required to power the engine due to the utilization of a combination of “natural” forces, such as gravity and centrifugal force. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus configured to emulate perpetual motion, comprising: at least one elongated base structure; at least one lever arm configured to rotate about a fixed axis; an electric generator; and at least one electric power source. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 1, wherein said fixed axis of said lever arm is located at the lever arm's center of mass. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 2, wherein said fixed axis of said lever arm is connected to an axle on said elongated base structure. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 3, wherein said lever arm is further comprised of one or more sliding tracks, one or more air compressors, and weights. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 4, wherein said sliding tracks extend along a radius on each side of said fixed axis of said lever arm. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 5, wherein an equal amount of said weights are connected to said sliding tracks on both sides of the fixed axis of said lever arm. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 6, wherein said weights are configured to slide on said sliding tracks along the total length of the radius on each side of said fixed axis of said lever arm. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 7, wherein said air compressor is configured to move said weights along said sliding tracks. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 8, wherein the weights on a top half of said lever arm are configured to move to the distal end of said top half of said lever arm when the lever arm is oriented vertically. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 9, wherein the weights on a bottom half of said lever arm are configured to move to the proximal end of said bottom half of said lever arm when the lever arm is oriented vertically. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 10, wherein said electric generator is selected from the group consisting of: a permanent magnet generator, a permanent magnet alternator, a magneto, and a dynamo. ### Claim 12 (depends on 3) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 3, wherein said elongated base structure is further comprised of a fixed ring gear mounted to said elongated base structure and centered around said fixed axis. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 12, wherein said lever arm is further comprised of one or more sliding tracks, one or more drive chains, and weights. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 13, wherein said lever arm is connected to mounting plates configured to rotate about a shaft connected to said elongated base structure. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 14, wherein said mounting plates are further comprised of a gravity switch connected to a mounting plate. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 15, wherein said drive chains are configured to move said weights along said sliding tracks. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 16, wherein the weights on a top half of said lever arm are configured to move to the distal end of said top half of said lever arm when the lever arm is oriented vertically. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 17, wherein the weights on a bottom half of said lever arm are configured to move to the proximal end of said bottom half of said lever arm when the lever arm is oriented vertically. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The gravity-lever-actuated rotating apparatus of claim 18, wherein said electric generator is selected from the group consisting of: a permanent magnet generator, a permanent magnet alternator, a magneto, and a dynamo.
