Abstract
An improved system for generating electricity by harnessing natural gravitational forces, wherein a plurality of vessels are placed at the bottom of a deep enclosed chamber of liquid. The vessels are secured around tracking cables which extend within the chamber and are held in place by the air lock. Each vessel also has a retention system. The vessels collect released pressurized air through bottom openings and when the air lock is released, the vessels rush to the surface of the chamber along tracking cables. When the vessels are released, the collective force of their release rotates a crankshaft to generate electricity. The process will employ a systematic transfer of air within multiple tanks and collection areas with the use of varying pressure relief valves. This will allow air to be transferred through out the system without being pumped from an external energy source.
