Abstract
Declining in the conventional energy resources is forcing engineers and scientists to develop new method of harnessing the energy. Gravity being abundant and sameevery time with same intensity can be used to generate electricity by using the mass raised to height above the Earth’s surface. With the help of this potential energy stored in a falling mass electrical energy is generated which is supplied to a dynamo used to power LED bulbs. In order to achieve this a mount was designed which carries an arrangement of gears in a cage out of which a shaft is hanged, weight is attached on the shaft which fall down due to a gravity. As the weight falls down that gives approx. 12 rpm to the first shaft, using compound gear train this rpm is increased to 720 rpm. At the end of the fourth shaft a dynamo is attached that changes 720 rpm into electricity that can easily burn a LED light. This light will be enough to illuminate a room. The project generates electricity with minimal or no maintenance cost and it can be used in remote areas where providing electricity is a formidable task.
