Frequently Asked Questions

We're here to provide clear and direct answers to your most common questions, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and technical excellence.

The GMEG is not a closed, isolated system. It operates as an open system that continuously receives energy from an external source: the Earth's gravitational field. By perpetually converting this abundant and ever-present force into usable power, the GMEG adheres to the fundamental laws of physics while achieving a net positive energy output.

Traditional gravitational storage systems are one-dimensional and intermittent; they act as batteries that are charged by lifting a heavy mass and discharged as it falls. In contrast, the GMEG is a dynamic, multi-dimensional generator that is engineered to run in a continuous, closed-loop cycle. It perpetually harvests the kinetic energy of a falling mass to provide a constant, on-demand power output.

The Dynamic Load Lifting System (DLLS) is a key component for achieving a net positive output. Here’s how it works:

  • Essential Negative Work: The DLLS performs the necessary work to reposition the track, ensuring the GMEG's continuous cycle. This process is engineered for exceptional efficiency.
  • Strategic Energy Management: Because the DLLS operates periodically, it allows us to store power over a prolonged period. This process works in conjunction with the Dynamic Power Exchange System (DPES) to smooth energy spikes.
  • Seamless Balance: This strategic approach ensures a seamless energy balance, prevents large energy drains, and continuously recharges the GMEG with gravitational potential energy to support a consistent, net positive output.

The GMEG's power output is highly scalable and depends entirely on the size and configuration of the unit. The system's modular architecture allows it to be engineered to meet a wide range of energy needs, from small-scale applications to utility-grade power plants. Detailed performance data and projections are available in our private investor documents.

The primary sources of energy loss in any mechanical system are friction and parasitic energy consumption. We have engineered the GMEG to mitigate these losses by utilizing a low-friction central drive, high-efficiency bearings, and advanced lubricants. Furthermore, the DLLS is designed to perform its necessary work with exceptional efficiency, ensuring a minimal power draw.

No. A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical device that operates without any external energy input. The GMEG is not perpetual because it is a dynamic, open system that continuously harnesses the external and predictable force of gravity. The system relies on the Dynamic Load Lifting System (DLLS) to periodically recharge it by performing the necessary work to re-engage gravity's potential.

While the concept was born from investigating these systems, this periodic interaction is proof that the GMEG requires external work to operate and is not a perpetual motion machine.

The GMEG is designed to complement intermittent renewables like solar and wind by providing consistent, dispatchable power regardless of weather conditions or time of day. Its modular architecture offers superior scalability with a significantly smaller physical footprint, and its projected operational lifespan is designed to deliver a highly competitive Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).

Yes. While the GMEG is engineered for grid-scale deployment, its modular and scalable design allows it to be configured to meet a wide range of energy demands, from powering individual off-grid communities to providing stable energy for large-scale commercial and industrial applications.

We project an operational lifespan of 30+ years. The GMEG's robust mechanical design and use of durable materials are engineered for minimal maintenance, ensuring long-term reliability and a highly favorable total cost of ownership.

The GMEG is a zero-emissions technology. It operates entirely without combustion, providing clean energy with a minimal environmental footprint. By displacing the reliance on fossil fuels and requiring significantly less land area per megawatt of output, the GMEG is designed to be a leader in sustainable power generation.
