Abstract
This potential energy accumulating system is of the type adapted to harness multiple sources of energy, including those of non-variable input such as from fuel and those of variable input, such as from the wind, the sun, the geothermal steam, animal power or the water. The system is characterized by being made to reduce the effect of the variable input of such sources of energy by stocking the same in the form of potential energy, releasable under kinetic form, and by being compatible to be coupled to and driven by any kind or number of machines operated by variable and non-variable energy sources. This system includes a closed circuit arrangement to use and accumulate the potential energy of relatively heavy balls or bodies of water, and to mechanically regulate the output so as to compensate the variations in the energy input.
