Abstract
An apparatus and method of using compressed air to move fluid thereby creating a gravity differential of suspended fluid tanks. The apparatus comprises a first tank, a second tank, a glide track, a glide car, an air compressor, a diaphragm pump, an air storage vessel, and a brake system. Fluid is pumped from one tank to the other tank, thus causing the two tanks to rise and lower accordingly. The rotational force and associated rotational spin associated with the raising and lowering of the tanks may be harnessed.
