No one is requesting anything for free, or trying to get free energy. Even the solar requires capital investment, maintenance, and all sort. We're looking for a cheaper alternative with minimal inputs but higher output. I feel like there is energy there that is left untapped.

It's an engineering question because we're using animals weight to generate electricity, and we need to identify the right engineering setup (mechanical and electrical ) to harness the weight of the animal. The target is a 500kg per animal, we need to generate energy above 10kw. Since we're...

Yes, that's why i was thinking of tiny levers in the field, such that by mere grazing in the farm, they would be generating electricity.

Now imagine we have like 20 of this slides, with a 10 meter height, but the getting back up isn't too steep, such that the animal might not easily get tired. 100 hundreds of cows lined up to be going down the slides. Which setup would you recommend though? to generate the most electricity

Wow never knew something like that existed, but yes something similar butt it has to be a smooth setup without wearing down the animal. Yes, that's the idea to use the weight of animals to produce electricity. The goal is to find the right setup to get the most power by using just animal...

I mean i knew the potential energy is 24.5kJ. I'm just finding it difficult to see how if the motor is rotating at the rated rpm and torque and it wouldn't produce the rated kw of more than 10kw. Though this is the vision, still refining the idea for the best approach using animal weight to...

Thank you so much, you really did grasp my idea. Maybe I didn't ask the right questions, as you know sometimes it's about the quality of the question. Though I'm still trying to see how mechanical advantage does not alter the amount of power. Before we answer that, let me see if this rephrasing...

I think the below picture will give a clear understanding of my question, stepping on this device below generates a little electricity. My question is that, since a human weighing on average 80kg, stepping on this device will generate small watt of electricty, what if we have a heavy object of...

Technically, but my system would be used to generate the electricity, meaning we would keep on winding the clock to lift the object and releasing. I'm working on sketches that i might likely share here, or privately.

Yes, something like this, my major concern is knowing the power that i can generate from 500kg weight, would using a high capacity motor yield more energy? If so which motor(if i connect it to small 50watt motor or 30kw motor to a 500kg wight, would energy that would be generated be the same?)...

Thanks for your input, regarding the weight being lifted back up, let's say we're to use animals to take the loads back up to the top.

Let's say we find a cheaper way or people to take the weight back up, i explained that to Berkeman in PM, which makes it not a PMM thread.

That's where my major confusion is, if a motor is rated at 30kw at 3,000 rpm. And i attached a pulley system like the one above to the motor connected to a gear system with ratio 1:100, when the pulley rotates for the 30th time in 1 minute then the motor would have rotated at 3,000rpm thereby...

What if we're to use gears and also a high energy motor? For example a motor that is 30kw and rated for 3,000rpm. We then attached a pulley to it with gear high gear ratio that as the 500kg is coming down with each rotation it rotates 100 times, which for 30 rotation we have 3,000 rpm.

Well let's say moving the weight back up is not an issue, or the issue.
