Abstract
A system and method for harvesting electric energy from the earth's gravitational field includes a pneumatic, potential energy (PE) system which cumulatively generates a volume of compressed air with an energy equal to PE, during a predetermined duty cycle. This energy can then be released as an instantaneous burst of energy in the next consecutive duty cycle. Also included is an electro-magnetic system which continuously generates kinetic energy (KE) as a shuttle falls under the influence of gravity during each duty cycle. An interface between the two systems is provided by a water column that separates the two systems yet allows them to be interactive. Specifically, the burst of PE manipulates the water column to maintain its integrity as the shuttle uses the water column as a water pathway for a return to the shuttle's start point under the influence of its buoyancy.
