will just above the water level then buoyancy force is absent
and it will face deceleration due to gravity and due to inertia it
will move upward for some distance and stop. But the mass m
will now reach highest point from where it was released
because some energy have lost due to air friction, water
friction and collision with water surface and pulleys friction
etc. Now, to overcome this distance we need to pull up mass
M. So, we have fastened a magnetic material which becomes
magnet when electricity is on. So, we have assembled it with
an inverter and a timed electronic switch. So, when the mass
M will come to stop then switch will be ON and the hanging
magnetic material becomes magnet and it pulls the magnetic
material due to magnetic force and when enough acceleration
is gathered by the mass M to reach the previous point from
where it was released then switch will be closed. In that way
we can make input energy less. Now, the system is again
released from previous position and it will again continue
moving in the same way. So, the electricity generating
magnets are fastened to the rope and they are surrounded by
conducting wires and as they are moving they are cutting the
flux and as per Faraday’s law of induction they will induce
emf into the closed circuit which will charge an inerter and the
inverter output terminal is useful for any purpose with
electricity. Note that the masses will reach same lowermost
position irrespective of losses because they are released from
same height every time.
Abstract— In this paper I discuss 8 methods with different
mechanical models to generate electricity from gravitation,
buoyancy force, spring force with less input power i.e. efficient
and pollution free.

I. INTRODUCTION
Method 1 :
System description :
For system description please see the below image.
Governing equations :
Let the masses are moving through H distance.
Let the mass M goes up to depth h in the water then stops and
go upward.
When the mass M is released from upper most position with
zero velocity then from Newton’s laws of motion we get,
Everything is pointed out in the figure. We will now discuss
working principle of the system under the heading “working
principle”.
Mg – T = Ma where T is the tension in the rope and a is the
acceleration downward.
And, T – mg = ma
Mg – mg = Ma + ma (Adding the equations)
a = (M-m)g/(M+m)
Working principle :
The mass M is more than mass m. So, when we will release
the system when the mass m is at lowermost position with
velocity zero then due to gravity the mass M will go down and
as a result mass m will go up with acceleration. Now, when
mass M will start submerging into water buoyancy force will
come into picture. Mass M is such that it floats on water. Now,
due to buoyancy force it will decelerate and stop somewhere
inside the tank and this point we call the lowermost point.
Now the mass m is at highest point. Now, it will start
accelerating upward due to buoyancy force and mass M will
go up and as a result mass m will move down. When mass M
We have, (H-h) = 0*t1 + (1/2)at12 where t1 is the time required
to reach water surface from upper most point for mass M.
t1 = √{2(H-h)/a}
We can calculate t1 as a is known from above Newton’s law
equations.
Let volume of mass M is V.
Let density of water is p.
Now, the buoyancy force on the mass M is Vpg.
As per Newton’s laws of motion,

Vpg + T1 – Mg = Ma1 where T1 is tension in the rope and a1 is
downward deceleration.
And, mg – T1 = ma1
Vpg – Mg + mg = ma1 + Ma1
a1 = (Vp + m – M)g/(M+m)
Now, if t2 is the time required to reach lowermost point from
water surface for the mass M then,
We have, 0 = v - a1t2 where v is velocity after collision with
water.
v = a1t2
We have, h = vt2- (1/2)a1t22
h = a1t22- (1/2)a1t22
h = (1/2)a1t22
t2 = √{2h/a1}
Instead of water other liquid may be used to enhance system
efficiency. We have considered here magnetic force to be
constant independent of distance but it needs to be taken care
of when implemented.
So, we can calculate t2 from here as a1 is known from above
Newton’s laws equations.
So, the frequency of getting in ON state for the electronic
switch is 2(t1+t2)
Now, let, v1 be the velocity when it touches the water surface.
So, energy lost = (1/2)M(v12 – v2)
Now, let it moves (H-h-x) distance due to its inertia.
So, energy lost = Mgx
(1/2)M(v12 – v2) = Mgx
Method 2 :
System description :
For system description please see the images below.
Now, this x distance needs to be pulled by the hanging
magnet.
Let, it stays on for x1 distance.
So, as per Newton’s law, we have, F/2 + T2 –Mg = Ma2 where
F/2 is the average magnetic force during the distance x1.
And mg – T2 = ma2
F/2 + mg – Mg = (M+m)a2
Now, if t3 be the time to go x1 distance then we have, x1 = 0*t3
+ (1/2)a2t32
t3 = √(2x1/a2)
This is the time for which the electronic switch should stay
ON.
Now, magnetic force is off and it is decelerating upward
means accelerating downward (Mass M).
So, as per above Newton’s law, we have, a = (M-m)g/(M+m).
Conclusion :
So, we have calculated the time for which the electronic
switch should stay ON and the time for which it should stay
OFF i.e. the frequency of getting in ON state. Clearly 2(t1+t2)
> t3. So, the switch will stay OFF for more time and for whole
time 2(t1+t2) + t3 the inverter from where output will be used
are being charged while the input inverter is discharging for
only t3 time. We need to hang the electric magnet in such a
way that it is closer to the mass M and less input is required.
To decrease the collision energy between mass M and water
surface we need to make it like a vertical eye shaped as shown
in the below figure.

And, Mg – T = Ma and mg – T = ma
Mg + mg – 2m1g = (M+m+2m1)a
a = (M+m – 2m1)g/(M+m+2m1)
Everything is marked in the figure. A and B are fixed. The
magnetic shield made of two layers. The below layer has a
hole as shown in the second figure and the above layer can
move through the lower layer. When it reaches rightmost
position then A gives force on the upper layer to close the hole
and when it reaches leftmost position then B gives force on
the upper most position to open the hole. A and B’s position is
so adjusted. Distance between A and B is the distance through
which the masses move. The masses m1, M1, m, M are such
that 2m1 < M+m < 2(m1+M1).
When mass m1 meets M1 then they become an unit mass and
faces deceleration.
Let the deceleration is a1.
Now, as per Newton’s laws of motion,
(M1+m1)g – T1 = (M1+m1)a1 where T1 is tension in the rope.
And T1 – Mg = Ma1 and T1 – mg = ma1
2(M1+m1)g – (M+m)g = {2(M1+m1)+M+m}a1
a1 = [{2(M1+m1) –(M+m)}g]/{2(M1+m1) +(M+m)}
Working principle :
When the mass m1 is release from the lower most position
with zero velocity then as 2m1 < m+M so it will go up with
acceleration till it touches M1. Now, when m1 will meet M1
then they will become unit mass and as m1+M1 > m+M so now
the unit mass will go upward with a deceleration and at some
point it will stop to go up. If there were no energy loss due to
air resistance or collision between m1 and M1 or friction
between pulleys and rope then the system will continue go up
and down with same vertical distance forever. But for the
losses of energy it will not go the upper most position where it
should go. So, we have provided a hanging magnet and M1 is
made up of magnetic material. Now the magnetic shield is so
set that when the unit mass will stop going upward due to
inertia then the hole will come between M1 and the hanging
magnet and as a result there will be magnetic force between
the unit mass and hanging magnet. So, the unit mass will face
an acceleration due to magnetic force and when it will have
enough acceleration then the hole will move rightward and cut
the magnetic force. Now it will go to the top most position
where it needs to go so that when it is released from zero
velocity the mass m1 reaches it’s lowermost position from
where it started the journey. Now one thing to note that when
the unit mass will start going downward then the hole will
again come into picture and it will produce a magnetic pull
again on the unit mass. To prevent this happening we have
used double layer magnetic shield. When the shield will move
to it’s right most position then B will block the hole by
pushing the upper level of the magnetic shield and so the
magnetic force will not come into picture. Now, it needs to be
opened for next operation. So, A is fixed in such position that
it will open the shield hole by pushing the upper level
rightward and the system will go up and down forever. Now,
there is a magnet fixed in the rope surrounded by conducting
wires. This magnet is moving up and down and it will cut the
magnetic flux and as a result of Faraday’s law of magnetic
induction it will induce emf in the closed circuit and
electricity will be generated.
Now, let (H-h-x) distance is moved by the unit mass due to
gravity only.
Now, x distance needs to be pulled by the hanging magnet.
Let for x1 distance the magnetic force acts and the unit mass
gets enough acceleration upward to move rest (x-x1) distance
due to it’s inertia against gravity.
Now, we will consider that for x1 distance the magnetic force
remains constant and it is average of maximum and minimum
magnetic force.
So it is (F+0)/2 = F/2.
Now, as per Newton’s laws of motion we get,
F/2 + T2 – (M1+m1)g = (M1+m1)a2 where T2 is tension in rope
and a2 is the upward acceleration.
And Mg – T2 =Ma2 and mg – T2 = ma2
F + {(M+m) – 2(M1+m1)}g = {2(M1+m1) + (m+M)}a2
a2 = [F + {(M+m) – 2(M1+m1)}g]/ {2(M1+m1) +
(m+M)}
The it will again decelerate with deceleration a and it come to
stop at H distance from the lower most position from where
mass m1 was released. So, mass m1 will again reach the same
position automatically and the system will continue running
forever to generate electricity.
Let, v be the velocity when magnetic force stops acting.
We have, v2 = 02 + 2a2x1
v2 = 2a2x1
We also have, 02 = v2 – 2a(x-x1)
v2 = 2a(x-x1)
a2x = a(x-x1)
If x is calculated practically then we can calculate x1 from the
above equation. x1 should be the length of the hole in the
magnetic shield.
Conclusion :
Here, the forces on the upper part of the shield due to A and B
is neglected, mass of the magnetic shield is neglected. Mass
M1 should be greater than m1 otherwise when it will come
down due to air resistance M1 and m1 will fail to stay
connected as unit mass. The distance x needs to be calculated
practically. The maintenance cost includes the replacement of
the hanging magnet and magnetic shield when they will be
expired.
Governing equations :
Let the system is moving H distance.
Let, the distance between surface S where M1 rests and
lowermost position of m1 is h.
Now, the system is released with zero velocity when m1 is at
lowermost position.
Method 3 :
From Newton’s laws of motion we get,
T – m1g = m1a where T is tension in the rope and a is
acceleration upward.

8 Methods to generate Electricity efficiently (Pollution free)
Governing equations :
Let, the mass M1 roams around distance H i.e. the system
moves through h distance. Let, from the uppermost point the
resting surface of mass M is h.
Now, when the system is released from rest when the mass m
is at lowermost position then for (H-h) distance the mass will
accelerate with acceleration say a.
As per Newton’s law,
M1g – T = M1a where T is the tension in the rope.
And, T – mg = ma
M1g – mg = (M1+m)a
a = (M1 – m)g/(M+m)
Now, when the mass m meets the mass M then it starts
decelerating say with deceleration a1.
From Newton’s law,
(M+m)g – T1 = (M+m)a1 where T1 is tension in rope.
And, T1 – M1g = M1a1
(M+m – M1)g = (M+m+M1)a1
a1 = (M+m-M1)g/(M+m+M1)
Here, mass M is made of magnetic material. Mass m is such
that it can go inside mass M when it is going upward and
become a unit mass of (m+M) and when it is going down then
the mass M rests on the surface and mass m goes down alone.
There is a hole in the upper ceiling of mass M such that the
rope can move freely. We need to charge the inverter with less
input energy via a motor. We will study the working principle
of the system under the heading working principle.
Let the velocity with which the mass m meets the mass M is v.
Now, we have, v2 = 02 + 2a(H-h)
v2 =2a(H-h)
Now, we have, v = 0 + at1 where t1 is time required to reach
the mass M1 from lowermost point.
t1 = √{2(H-h)/a}
We know a from above Newton’s law equation. So we can
calculate t1.
Let the velocity with which the unit mass (m+M) starts
decelerating upward be v1.
So, (1/2)(m+M)(v12 – v2) energy is lost due to collision of the
masses. We need to minimize it. So, accordingly material of
mass m needs to be chosen.
Let it reaches up to distance (h – x).
x distance to be pulled by the hanging electric magnet.
Working principle :
Now, when the system is released from rest when the mass m
is at lower position and M1 is at upper position then as M1>m
so due to gravity M1 will go down with acceleration and as a
result mass m will go up with acceleration till it meets mass
M. Now, when the mass M and m meets it becomes a unit
mass of (m+M) and starts decelerating and due to inertia it
goes up some distance. Now, the electronic switch is made
ON and the magnetic material that is hanging becomes
electric magnet and pulls the magnetic material M and the
system goes up to it’s destination and then the switch is made
OFF and the electric magnet loses it’s magnetic property and
as (m+M) > M1 then the unit mass (m+M) starts going
downward with acceleration due to gravity and as a result the
mass M1 goes up with acceleration till the resting surface of M
is reached. When M meets the it’s resting surface then m
becomes alone and as M1 > m so it starts decelerating and
goes down with deceleration due to inertia and then comes to
rest and goes up with acceleration as m < M1 and M1 goes
down again and when met with mass M then again decelerates
and the system continues to move forever up and down in the
same way. One thing to note that the mass m always reaches
same lowermost position because every time it starts going
downward with same acceleration and then same
deceleration. So the system will work forever. Now the
electricity generating magnets are surrounded by conducting
wires and as the masses move so the rope and so the electricity
generating magnets and according to Faraday’s law of
induction they will induce emf in the conducting wires an the
inverter will be charged. Some portion of energy will be
required to magnetise the hanging magnetic material and the
rest will be output. We need some external energy to charge
the inverter also but it is of less amount.
Now, 02 = v12 – 2a1(h-x)
v12 = 2a1(h-x)
Now, 0 = v1 – a1t2 where t2 is the time to go h-x distance.
t2 = √{2(h-x)/a1}.
We know a1 from above Newton’s law equations and we need
to calculate x experimentally. So, we can calculate t2.
So, the frequency of the electronic switch to come in ON state
is 2(t1+t2).
Now, let F is the magnetic force when the unit mass at
uppermost point and 0 is the magnetic force when it is at x
distance from uppermost point. Let, the magnetic force is
constant during this distance and it is the average of minimum
and maximum force i.e. (F+0)/2 = F/2.
Now, one thing need to see that during the whole x distance
we don’t need to have the electronic switch ON because if x1
distance is reached by acceleration due to magnetic pull then
it will move (x-x1) distance due to inertia.
So, let t3 be the time required to reach distance x1 upward.
From Newton’s laws we have,
F/2 + T2 – (M+m)g = (M+m)a2 where T2 is tension in rope and
a2 is upward acceleration.
And, M1g – T2 = M1a2
F/2 – (M+m – M1)g = (M+m+M1)a2

From here we can calculate a2.
Now, we have, x1 = 0*t3 + (1/2)a2t32
t3 = √{2x1/a2}
In the above figure everything is pointed out. The solid
magnetic material is fastened with the hollow cylinder at its
bottom. We will study the working principle in the next
chapter.
Let, v2 is the velocity when the electronic switch goes to OFF
state from ON state.
We have, v22 = 02 + 2a2x1
v22 = 2a2x1
Working principle :
The hollow cylinder is such that it floats on water. Now a solid
magnetic material is put in the hollow cylinder. Now it will go
down due to gravity. Now, when it is going down the
dispersed water by the hollow cylinder is increasing and
hence buoyancy force is increasing. As a result when it will go
down then at some point of time the buoyancy force will be
greater than gravitational pull and the hollow cylinder and the
magnetic material will go up and there is a magnet attached to
the magnetic material. The magnet is surrounded by
conducting wires. So, when the system will move the magnet
will move and hence the magnetic flux lines will be cut and as
per Faraday’s law of induction it will generate electricity in
the conducting wire. Now, if there is no friction then the
system will go on moving up and down forever. But there is
friction and so we have fixed a magnetic material at the top. It
should be fixed in much smaller gap with the solid magnetic
material that is inside the hollow cylinder. Now, when it will
go up the switch is there to connect the circuit after a fixed
interval. Then the magnetic material will turn into a electric
magnet and it will pull the magnetic material which is resting
inside the hollow cylinder. Now, when the upper point is
reached then the circuit will be disconnected by the switch
and the magnetism of the electric magnet will be gone and
again the system will go down due to gravity. Now, one thing
to note that the system will go down every time a constant
distance because it will start with same velocity from upper
point every time. Now, a fraction of the electricity generated
will be used to run the system, rest are useful to use. Now, we
will study the governing equations for the system to run
forever.
Now, we have, from Newton’s law,
a1 = (M+m-M1)g/(M+m+M1) when magnetic force is absent.
So, 02 = v22 – 2a1(x-x1)
v22 = 2a1(x-x1)
2a2x1 = 2a1(x-x1)
x1 = a1x/(a1+a2)
So, we can calculate x1 from here and put the value in above
equation to calculate t3.
So, the electronic switch needs to be in ON state for t3 time.
Conclusion :
So, we have calculated the electronic switch ON state period
and also the frequency to come in On state. We have
considered magnetic force constant here but it needs to be
calculated fairly when applied. We need to minimize the
energy lost due to collision of mass m and M by choosing
appropriate material. We can also fix an electricity generating
magnet in the right side of the rope surrounding by conducting
wires to generate more electricity. The inverter needs to be
charged via a motor which is not shown in the system
description picture. The system is efficient because we are
using gravitation force as much as we can and for the energy
lost due to air friction and collision we are using external
energy. Now, energy lost due to above reasons is less
compared to energy generated.
Method 4 :
Mathematical discussion :
Let the system is released with zero velocity with the hollow
cylinder just touching the upper surface of water.
Let, mass of the hollow cylinder and magnetic material is M
(including mass of the electricity generating magnet).
Let mass of the magnetic material which is fastened upper to
pull the system is m.
System description :
Now, let up to x distance the cylinder and the magnetic
material system faces acceleration due to gravity.
Then for y distance it decelerates due to buoyancy force and
due to inertia it moves i.e. after (x+y) distance it comes to rest
and then starts moving upward with acceleration due to
buoyancy force and after moving y distance up it decelerates
due to gravity.
Now, if there is no friction of water then the system will
continue moving forever but let us say it goes upward z
distance by itself.
Now, (x-z) distance is pulled by the hanging electric magnet.
The switch must stay on for the time it gets an acceleration to
go up (x-z) distance and then the switch must be off.

8 Methods to generate Electricity efficiently (Pollution free)
We have, v12 = 02 + 2a2(x-z-x1)
v12 = 2a2(x-z-x1)
And, 02 = v12 – 2gx1
v12 = 2gx1
a2(x-z-x1) = gx1
Now, x-z to be calculated practically. So, we can calculate x1
from the above equation.
So, let t3 be the time required to go z-x-x1 distance.
v1 = 0 + a2t3
t3 = √(2(x-z-x1)/a2 = √(2gx1/a2)
So, the switch needs to remain on for t3 time and the interval
of switch on is 2(t1+t2)
Now, at the time when the system is at rest after going z
distance upward it cannot generate electricity. So, we need to
add an inverter to charge it during the time 2(t1+t2) and take
the electricity from the inverter to magnetise the hanging
magnetic material when it is at just rest. So, we need to modify
the system description as below.
Let, the area of the cylinder is A.
We have considered the buoyancy force to be constant during
it’s journey through x distance and it is average of the
minimum and maximum force.
So, we per Newton’s laws of motion,
Mg – Axpg/2 = Ma where p is density of water and g is
gravitational acceleration and a is the system’s acceleration.
For y distance the equation will be,
A(x+h)pg/2 – Mg = Ma1 where h is the height of the cylinder
i.e. x+y = h and a1 is the deceleration.
Now, let us say, v is the velocity at distance x.
Now, v2 = 02 + 2ax
v2 = 2ax.
Again, 02 = v2 – 2a1y
v2 = 2a1y
ax = a1y
Now, let time required to go x distance is t1 and time required
to go y distance is t2.
We have, x = 0*t1 + (1/2)at12
t1 = √(2x/a)
And, 0 = v – a1t2
0 = √2a1y – a1t2
t2 = √(2y/a1)
Conclusion :
So, we see that we can generate electricity from gravitation
and buoyancy force and no other input energy is needed. It
may require some input energy to charge the inverter but it
will be very less. We have calculated the time for which the
electronic switch will stay on i.e. t3 and the frequency of it’s
coming to ON state i.e. 2(t1+t2). Instead of water other liquid
may also be used according to advantages. F i.e. magnetic
force is not constant during the whole period so it needs to be
calculated fairly and so goes to buoyancy force too when it
will be implemented.
So, total time to reach h distance is t1+ t2 = √(2x/a) + √{2y/a1}
Now, we know a, a1 from Newton’s laws equations at first.
We have, ax = a1y and x+y = h
From this 2 equations we can calculate 2 variables x, y and we
can get t1 and t2.
Now, when it is going up then (x-z) distance to be accelerated
by the electric magnet.
Let the magnetic force is constant during (x-z) distance and it
is average of minimum and maximum force i.e. (F+0)/2 = F/2.
Now, we don’t need to switch it on for the whole distance i.e.
(x-z) distance so, we will consider here (x-z-x1) distance.
From Newton’s law, F/2 – Mg = Ma2 and Mg = -Ma3 i.e. a3
=-g
Now, let v1 be the velocity at (x-z-x1) distance.

For easier calculation we will take the spring force as constant
throughout the distance h. So we take the average value (kh +
0)/2 = kh/2
Let the electricity generating magnet is moving in a distance
h.
Let, the force between two magnets is F.
For easier calculation we are taking the value F when the
electricity generating magnet will be at ground and 0 when it
will be totally shielded and we are taking the average value
(F+0)/2 = F/2.
Let the mass of the electricity generating magnet is m.
Now, when the electricity generating magnet is at ground then
from free-body diagram we get,
In the diagram above Pulley A’s function is to maintain the
magnet in one vertical line. Rest others are as shown in the
diagram.
Method :
Now, we will discuss how the electricity will be generated
from the above system. The big magnet that is hanging from
the ceiling it has that magnetic power such that when the
magnet touches ground then it can pull it the magnet that is
generating electricity against gravity and spring force. And
when the electricity generating magnet will go up then
magnetic shield will move left and at a point it will cut the
magnetic force between two magnets with its shielding power.
Then spring will pull the magnetic shield again at the previous
point and the electricity generating magnet will fall under
gravity and spring force. When the magnetic shield will be
totally out then the magnet will again go up due to magnetic
force. And this process will continue without any external
energy. So, here we are converting gravitation, magnet and
spring force into electricity. The energy conversion is based
on the principle of dynamically (or motionally) induced e.m.f.
Whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux, dynamically
induced e.m.f. is produced in it according to Faraday’s laws of
electromagnetic induction. This e.m.f. causes a current to
flow if the conductor circuit is closed.
Let upper acceleration be a.
Then from Newton’s laws of motion we get,
F/2 – mg – kh/2 = ma
a = (F/2 – mg – kh/2)/m
Now when the electricity generating magnet is at upper level
then from the free-body diagram we get,
Let downward acceleration be a1.
Then, from Newton’s laws of motion we get,
mg + kh/2 = ma1
a1 = (mg + kh/2)/m
Advantages :
1. There will not be any running cost of the plant to
generate electricity. If there then it will be very less.
2. No fuel or flowing water are needed to generate
electricity.
3. Pollution free.
Now, we have known the upward and downward
accelerations which will be required in the calculation of how
much emf will be generated from the above system.
This calculation is omitted in this book because we are sure
that the system is efficient because input energy = 0 and
output energy > 0
For proper calculation of magnetic force we can use the
following equations,
F = [B02A2(L2 + R2)/ᴨЄ0L2][(1/x2) + {1/(x+2L)2} – {2/(x+L)2]
Where, B0 is the magnetic flux density very close to each pole,
in T,
A is the area of each pole, in m2,
And Fx = (1/h)[ʃ0h(F*dx)] where x is instantaneous distance
from lower level.
Disadvantages :
1. The installation cost may be a bit high.
2. If the big magnet loses its magnetic property then it
will have to be replaced with another magnet or
adding another magnet to it which will require some
cost.
Calculation :
Let the spring constant is k.

8 Methods to generate Electricity efficiently (Pollution free)
Conclusion :
When it will be implemented then the position of big magnet,
electricity generating magnet and shield should be properly
chosen as well as spring. Eddy current loss needs to be
considered also. This is just theoretical idea.
Calculation :
Let, spring constant is k.
For easier calculation we take spring force is constant
throughout the distance the electricity generating magnet is
moving. Let it is h.
Then spring force = (kh+0)/2 = kh/2
Now, we will consider repulsion force of magnet is same
throughout the distance h for easier calculation.
So, magnetic repulsion force is (F+0)/2 = F/2
Let the mass of the electricity generating magnet is m.
Now, when the electricity generating magnet is at top most
position then from the free-body diagram below we get,
Method 6 :
System description :
For system description please see the images below,
The magnets are of same polarity.
Method :
The magnets are put in such a way that they are opposite
polarity so that they can exert a repulsion force. Now, let the
electricity generating magnet is running in h distance in the
air. Now, when the magnet is at upper level then due to
gravitation it will fall downward so that it’s mass is heavy
enough to fall by negotiation of spring force. Now, when the
magnet will come at a distance towards the magnet set in the
earth then magnetic repulsion force will act and it will be so
high that adding this force with spring force it will get an
upward acceleration negotiating gravitation. And this process
will continue and according Faraday’s law of induction it will
generate electricity in the circuit. The energy conversion is
based on the principle of dynamically (or motionally) induced
e.m.f. Whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux, dynamically
induced e.m.f. is produced in it according to Faraday’s laws of
electromagnetic induction. This e.m.f. causes a current to
flow if the conductor circuit is closed.
From Newton’s laws of motion we get,
mg – F/2 – kh/2 = ma where a is downward acceleration.
a = (mg – F/2 – kh/2)/m
Now, when the electricity generating magnet is at lowest
position then, from the free-body diagram we get,
Advantages :
1. It’s maintenance cost is low or negligible.
2. It’s a self acting method to generate electricity without
any input power.
3. It is pollution free.
From Newton’s laws of motion we get,
(F + kh)/2 – mg = ma1 where a1 is the acceleration of the
electricity generating magnet upwards.
a1 = {(F + kh)/2 – mg}/m
Disadvantages :
1. Initial installing cost may be high.
2. If magnets are losing their magnetic property then
they needs to be replaced. So there may be a little bit
cost.

2. We don’t need to give any input and it will go on
working on its own.
3. Pollution free.
Now, we know the upward and downward acceleration of the
electricity generating magnet which will be useful in the
calculation of the emf generated in the circuit which is omitted
in this book.
Disadvantages :
1. If the magnet is losing it’s strength then we need to
add another magnet or replace it by another magnet
then there will be a bit of cost.
2. Installation cost is not so high but considerable.
Conclusion :
When it will be implemented then we need to properly
calculate the magnetic repulsion force and spring force. We
also need to consider eddy current losses. The system is
obviously efficient because input energy is 0 and output
energy > 0.
Calculation :
Let F be the maximum force between the magnets. We will
consider here the average value of F for easier calculation.
So, magnetic force is (F+0)/2 = F/2
Let spring constant be k and we will consider that the spring
force is same for all the time and it is equal to (kh+0)/2 = kh/2
where h is the height the electricity generating magnet is
moving up and down.
Let volume of the tanks be V.
Let the density of water is p.
Now, when the electricity generating magnet is at lower level
then according to Archimedes principle the Buoyancy force
on the magnet is (V/2)pg = Vpg/2 where g is the acceleration
due to gravity.
Let mass of the electricity generating magnet is m.
When the piston of the right side cylinder will be down then
according to free-body diagram of the electricity generating
magnet we get,
Method 7 :
System description :
For system description please see the image below,
All things are indicated in the picture itself.
Method :
When the electricity generating magnet will go upward for
magnetic action between them and also for the law of equal
distance of water. Now, when it will go up then magnetic
shield will come in between hanging magnet and electricity
generating magnet. Now, magnetic force will stop to act and
for gravitation and the law of equal level of water it will go
down and the water level of the second cylinder will go up.
Then again for equal water level law and magnetic pull the
electricity generating magnet will go up as when it goes down
the magnetic shield will be shifted left by the stretched spring.
So, this process will continue and So, here we are converting
gravitation, magnet and spring force into electricity. The
energy conversion is based on the principle of dynamically (or
motionally) induced e.m.f. Whenever a conductor cuts
magnetic flux, dynamically induced e.m.f. is produced in it
according to Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction.
This e.m.f. causes a current to flow if the conductor circuit is
closed.
Now, from Newton’s laws of motion, we get,
(F/2 + Vpg/2) – (mg + kh/2) = ma
a = [(F/2 + Vpg/2) – (mg + kh/2)]/m
Now, when the electricity generating magnet is at top most
point then from the free body diagram we get,
Advantages :
1. It’s maintenance cost is low or negligible.
Now, from Newton’s laws of motion we get,
(mg + Vpg/2) = ma1 where a1 is the downward acceleration.
a1 = (mg + Vpg/2)/m

8 Methods to generate Electricity efficiently (Pollution free)
shield will cut the force between the two magnets. Then due to
spring force the electricity generating magnet will move right
towards and the magnetic shield will go down and take place
where it was before. When the electricity generating magnet
will move y distance towards right then again magnetic force
will be activated and the electricity generating magnet will
again go left towards and this process will continue. So, here
we are converting gravitation, magnet and spring force into
electricity. The energy conversion is based on the principle of
dynamically (or motionally) induced e.m.f. Whenever a
conductor cuts magnetic flux, dynamically induced e.m.f. is
produced in it according to Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic
induction. This e.m.f. causes a current to flow if the conductor
circuit is closed.
Now, we have known upward and downward acceleration
which will be required during evaluation of emf generated. In
this book I will omit that.
Conclusion :
When it will be implemented then magnetic force and spring
force needs to be calculated preciously and also we can
remove the piston from left side cylinder. We also need to
consider eddy current losses. This is just an theoretical idea
where input = 0 and output > 0. So the system is efficient for
sure.
Instead of spring we can also hinge joint like this in the below
picture.
Advantages :
1. Its maintenance cost is zero or negligible or very
small.
2. No input is required and it will continue generating
electricity with magnet, gravitation and spring force
automatically.
3. It is pollution free.
The hinge will be grounded normally and rotate through as
shown in figure when force is applied. If force is removed
then it comes to its normal state i.e. in the ground.
Disadvantages :
1. If magnet lose it’s magnetic property then it needs to
be replaced then some cost needed.
2. Installation cost is not so high but considerable.
Method 8 :
Calculation :
Let the spring constant is k.
We will consider that the spring force is constant over the
journey of the electricity generating magnet to travel the
distance y and it is average of highest and lowest force for
easier calculation.
So, spring force = (ky + 0)/2 = ky/2
Let, the maximum magnetic force between the two magnets is
F. We here also will be considering magnetic force is constant
during the journey of y distance of the electricity generating
magnet and it is the average value of maximum and minimum
force.
So, magnetic force = (F+0)/2 = F/2
Now, let the mass of electricity generating magnet is m.
Let the coefficient of friction between the electricity
generating magnet and floor is ɳ.
So, frictional force is ɳN where N is the normal force on the
electricity generating magnet by the floor.
Now, from the free-body diagram of the electricity generating
magnet when it is at right most side is,
System description :
For system description please see the below image,
Here, the block is a magnet and the conducting wires are cut in
the upper level to give the space for moving the magnet. Rest
other are as indicated in the figure.
Method :
The fixed magnet in left side is fixed and it will pull the
electricity generating magnet to move towards it against
spring force. When the electricity generating magnet will be
moving leftward then magnetic shield will go up and spring
will be stretched. Now, when the electricity generating
magnet will move y distance horizontally then magnetic
Now, from Newton’s laws of motion we get,

F/2 – f = ma where f is the frictional force = ɳN = ɳmg and a
is the acceleration towards right side.
a = (F/2 - ɳmg)/m
Now, when the electricity generating magnet is at the left most
side then from the free-body diagram of the electricity
generating magnet we get,
Here M is mass of the shield. According to figure of system
description it will act at an angle ϴ with the horizontal.
So, we need to break the force in vertical and horizontal axis.
Vertically upward force component = Mg*cosϴ
Horizontally rightward force is Mg*sinϴ
Now, equating the vertical force we get, N + Mg*cosϴ = mg
N = mg – Mg*cosϴ
f = frictional force = ɳN = ɳ(mg – Mg*cosϴ)
Now, according to Newton’s laws of motion we get,
ky/2 + Mg*sinϴ - f = ma1 where a1 is the acceleration of the
electricity generating magnet towards right.
a1 = [(ky/2 + Mg*sinϴ - ɳ(mg – Mg*cosϴ)]/m
Now, we know the acceleration of the electricity generating
magnet towards left and right which will be useful in
calculation of generating emf in the output.
Conclusion :
When it will be implemented then actual force between
magnet at any instant to be considered and also instant spring
force to be considered which is omitted in this book. But we
are sure about that the system is efficient because input power
= 0 and output power > 0. Also eddy current loss needs to be
considered. Pulleys are considered massless as well as ropes.
