How does it work?
The Energy Conversion System (ECS) – A True Scientific Innovation, Not Perpetual Motion
The most crucial fact about the Energy Conversion System (ECS) is that it is absolutely not a Perpetual Motion (PM) machine. Perpetual Motion machines—first imagined in medieval times—were based on the mistaken belief that energy could be created from nothing. This idea was disproven centuries ago by scientists such as Isaac Newton.
A fundamental principle of physics, the Law of Conservation of Energy (also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics), states:
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
PM machines attempt to violate this law, making them physically impossible. ECS, however, fully complies with it by converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy and then into usable mechanical or electrical power.
Harnessing Gravity – A Constant and Reliable Renewable Energy Source
Gravity is one of nature’s most powerful forces, acting everywhere on Earth, 24/7, regardless of time, weather, or location. If properly harnessed, it offers a huge, untapped source of 100% renewable energy.
The ECS achieves this by using two liquids of different densities to create a controlled flow, generating a “head” of water with gravitational potential energy. This energy is then efficiently converted into power—all in perfect alignment with the laws of physics.
How ECS Works – A Continuous, Self-Sustaining Process
ECS operates by maintaining a controlled imbalance in the fluid system. Gravity continuously acts to restore balance, displacing water upwards and converting gravitational force into energy. This energy is then captured using established mechanical and electrical technologies.
What makes ECS so effective is its efficiency:
✅ 60% of the gravitational energy input is successfully converted into usable power.
✅ The remaining 40% sustains system operation, covering minor losses such as friction.
This is a completely natural and scientifically validated process—unlike Perpetual Motion machines, which claim the impossible.
A Revolutionary Step Towards Clean, Sustainable Energy
The Energy Conversion System is not theory—it’s a breakthrough in renewable energy. By using proven scientific principles, ECS offers a practical, sustainable, and physics-compliant solution for generating clean power from gravity.
No Perpetual Motion machine has ever worked—but ECS does.

Sustainable & Renewable Energy
Examples of Renewable Energy are Wind power, Solar power, Hydroelectric &Tidal energy. All these are intermittent in output. A new Energy Conversion System technology opens up the first 24/7 source of large-scale Renewable Energy available globally at a constant rate, namely Gravitational Force.
Take Control of Your Power Production
The Energy Conversion System is designed for large-scale power generation in the multi-megawatt range.
It can range up to 16MW as individual units, however, they can also be connected in series to provide pressurised water feed to a single large water turbine generator. This flexibility significantly reduces the capital cost of larger installations.
Energy Conversion System units are land-based, they can be built on Brownfield sites close to population or industrial centres.
They operate quietly with no exposed moving parts to endanger wildlife,
Energy Conversion System units operate 24/7 at full design load, giving a 100% capacity factor (CF) compared to the 30% to 35% CF of a wind turbine or the 12% to 15% CF of a UK solar farm, resulting in an excellent return on investment.
See the 'Advantages of the Energy Conversion System' page for further information.
Licensing this Climate Change Technology
The Energy Conversion System technology has been patented in the UK, EU, USA & China, all major industrialised countries. It is available for licensing to companies already engaged in energy production, or those considering entering the field of renewable energy.
The unique ability of The Energy Conversion System to consistently generate 24/7 offers an unprecedented business opportunity, while at the same time minimising the effects of climate change.
Energy Conversion System: Global Licensing
The Energy Conversion System technology is available for licensing to any organisation prepared to develop and commercialise it.
However, to capitalise on the significant opportunity this presents, it requires the necessary financial and engineering resources to develop it to a commercial scale.
Commercial scale would be defined as an Energy Conversion System unit capable of generating power and of course, revenue, to give an acceptable Return on Investment (ROI) NB. A financial example of a 2.4MW unit is given here: Financials.

Hydrogen Production
The Energy Conversion System 24/7 technology, when deployed at scale, will significantly reduce the costs of balancing the grid and reduce the cost and need of storing energy produced by wind & solar.
In periods of reduced demand the Energy Conversion System units can be seamlessly switched to hydrogen & oxygen production using well established electrolyser technology.
Advantages of The Energy Conversion System
G-force is virtually constant all over the planet, hence the Energy Conversion System technology can be applied in any practical location.
Replacing Fossil Fuels for Energy
The transition from coal, oil & gas to produce electricity will take time and this will be governed by the rate at which renewable energy can be installed. Energy Conversion System units are relatively inexpensive to construct, they can be located close to towns and large industrial users, saving on capital and transmission losses. Importantly, it saves valuable time, to get this important Energy Conversion System technology online, generating 24/7 sustainable energy.
Competitive with Wind Turbines
When comparing Energy Conversion System units with Wind Turbines look at the complete picture. (i) Capex, broadly similar, the larger the unit the cheaper per MW (ii) ECS lifetime, similar to hydropower installations at 50 -60 years. Wind turbines 15 – 20 years. (iii) Energy Conversion System units can operate at 100% capacity factor, 24/7. Wind turbines only operate at 30 – 40 % capacity factor
Low Maintenance Costs
Hydropower installations operate economically for generations. There are, however, significant costs involved in maintaining their dams and infrastructure. Energy Conversion System units are closed circuit, continually recirculating the same water. Properly designed, operational lives could be 50+ years, a notable fact for Finance Directors to consider when costing Energy Conversion System MW power!
