Newton is a unique scientist whose work remains relevant to humanity after centuries and even for space age travel. He is said to have born on 25 Dec 1642 as per Roman calendar, but Europe reset the date to Jan 4th, 1643 as per Gregorian calendar later on.

Let me share a secret unused by us for the last 300 years. His theories on gravity can help us meet the energy needs of humanity to transport people and goods. Using the approach outlined below transportation is possible at speeds of 210 mph from city to city. Retooled cars/trucks on gravity-powered roads allow for transportation without fossil fuels and transport cargo from any point to any point at 60-mph. Existing metro rail can be powered by gravity doing away the electrical traction.

Detailed specification in US Patent application number: 12184151 dated 07/31/2008 provides more information regarding the "Gravity Powered Rail, Road and Runways transportation systems".

The principle is rather simple and ancient too. It is easily illustrated by the example of a pendulum. When pulled to one side you add potential energy (due to gravity). When you leave it free, that potential energy is released and it will swing to the lowest point, where it will have the maximum kinetic energy. The mass continues to move under its momentum and it starts to experience the gravitational force as resistance to rise and the kinetic energy gets consumed raising the mass almost to the same extent of height relative to the position at mid point of swing. At this point, it has almost the same potential energy it started out with and the cycle repeats in the opposite direction with marginal losses for friction and air resistance. This we all know.

But what is important to realize is the efficiency of energy conservation- unlike the case of mechanical energy to electrical energy and back to electrical energy for the purpose of recovery in linearly oscillating systems like transportation, where we get only 30% recovery, in case of gravitational force we recover more than 99%!

Therefore, we can design a transportation system, where we have a set of heavy vertically moving masses, in a Gravity Power Tower, connected through variable gears and power transmission cable attached to a rolling unit in horizontal direction. To start the rolling unit from rest, and accelerate to the desired speed, the heavy masses move down under gravitational force of attraction. Therefore, while moving down the heavy masses give out energy and the rolling unit gains kinetic energy. The mass for the first time would have to be lifted up using standard low speed high torque electrical motors.

Now imagine we reversed the gear direction in such a manner that instead of the heavy masses going down while the rolling unit is moving forward, the rolling unit to move forward has to pull up the heavy masses against gravity. Then the kinetic energy of the rolling unit is taken away by the heavy masses in the tower, by rising back to a position very close to its original starting point, while the rolling unit comes to a stop. Therefore, we can travel in the rolling unit taking energy to speed up and then giving out energy while stopping. However, the process of moving from point A to B sans losses involves pure gravitational force and no electrical traction is used.

In very simple terms, the principle is as described above. The control and management, is through knowledge-embedded microprocessors and the system has distributed intelligence managing various operational parameters, as human control cannot match the response times needed. However, this uses low power electronics.

Remember the friction losses in rolling cannot be recovered, and this appears as the small gap between the original position of the driving heavy masses and the recovered position in the tower. This 5% or 10% of the energy is what is to be made up using electrical motors that can operate at much lower speeds and lower power. Thus, we save substantial quantum of energy usage in transportation, which is essentially wasted in accelerating large masses from rest to motion and then stopping the same using complex mechanism to recover the energy electromagnetically which is less than 30% efficient. Since friction losses are critical, rail based systems deliver the best results.

We can also power the roads to run cars without the IC engines using electromagnetic coupling for power transmission from road to the car. Additional details are described in specification. However, the energy savings come down to around 50% because of higher friction losses between rubber tires and road surface as well the freedom that a driver wants to decouple from the powered road and stop away from the road. Nevertheless, carbon emissions can be eliminated or dramatically reduced.


The existing roads and rail infrastructure can be primarily powered by gravity attaining speeds of 60 mph.

Hope I am able to explain the principle in terms to be understood by as many people as possible- it is not complex particle physics but classic Newton's laws we still use to launch our space probes successfully.

Science and technology can thus provide the solution we need very urgently. We do have a solution for immediate implementation based on Gravitational Force- Surprisingly the latest development but truly simple in technology for implementation and has little chance of failure because it is explainable by simple Newton's equations, and nothing beyond that level!

The implications are gravitational force can provide in case of USA:
1. 360 KMPH rail based intercity transportation saving 87% of electrical energy
2. Urban metros, even existing ones can save 97% of electrical energy
3. Cargo can be moved from any point to any point in USA with gravity power, saving 97% of energy from fossil fuels
4. USA can stop importing 8m barrels of oil daily and stop 3.5b tons of carbon emissions per annum


The projects for USA would need investment of $450 billion, but no subsidy from the government, because they generate 30 to 40% cash surpluses. They generate also close to one million jobs. Eternal free gravity force can kick start projects in all the states for transportation infrastructure to be futuristic, totally powered by gravitational force. Within four years, we can complete the commercial implementation and get benefits, without any need for waiting for research to be completed.


The implications for India:

1. 360 KMPH travel between Delhi to metro cities linking among each other too.
2. Golden quadrilateral and other high-density routes not covered by railway including dedicated freight corridor totaling 30,000 km can have gravity powered rail transportation- this eliminates use of diesel as well as electrical traction and makes the transportation automatic.
3. Gravity Powered urban metro transportation including even existing metro rails, which use no electrical power for traction but saves 97% of energy used currently.
4. India can stop importing oil.


Approximately Rs 50,000 cr investments will be attracted.

The projects are financially viable to give return on investment of the order of 30 to 40 % while creating a million sustainable jobs. As the capital is recovered and interest burden vanishes with the cash surpluses, the charges are reduced to maintenance and depreciation, which is minimum being totally automated and using inflation proof free energy. One of my objects in life's work has been transportation should be practically free for all. I believe this dream is now very close to be realized.

We need a paradigm shift in transportation scene with "green" energy from Newton's gravity and the game changer solution is ready for implementation.
