Gravity electrical generating system

A system for generating electricity by gravity comprising:

• an upper water reservoir;
• a lower water reservoir;
• a conduit connecting said reservoirs;
• a pump connected to said conduit for pumping water from said lower reservoir to said upper reservoir;
• an electric generator for generating electricity;
• a plurality of containers positioned side-by-side and mounted for up and down travel between said upper and lower reservoirs;
• filler means for filing said containers with water from said upper reservoir when said containers are at an upper-most position adjacent said upper reservoir;
• drain means for draining water from said containers into said lower reservoir when said containers are at a lower-most position adjacent said lower reservoir;
• guide means for guiding the up and down travel of said containers between said upper-most and lower-most positions;
• motor means connected for driving said drained containers from said lower-most position to said upper-most position;
• upper limit switch means for retaining and filling said containers with water from said upper reservoir when said containers attain said upper-most position and for releasing said containers when filled for downwardly guided gravity travel;
• lower limit switch means for retaining and draining said containers into said lower reservoir when said containers attain said lower-most position and for releasing said drained containers and energizing said motor means for upwardly travel of said containers when drained;
• and
• said containers connected in driving engagement with said electric generator when said filled containers are traveling downward for driving said electrical generator to generate electricity.
