    Abstract: An electrical generator is provided. The electrical generator can include a generator, an electric motor, and a battery. The generator has a rotatable shaft and stationary component and be operatively coupled via a drive belt to the motor, which provides torque to the rotatable shaft of the generator The battery is operatively coupled to the motor. The generator can be operatively coupled to a utility grid via a transformer/invertor that can import current from the utility grid to charge the battery when the utility grid is operating and export current from the generator to a grid connector when the utility grid is not operating.

    Abstract: A method for generating electrical energy through the fall of a weight upon a hydraulic fluid (reference sign H) is characterised in that it employs the kinetic energy of a weight (11) which is accelerated by the force of gravity when falling inside a tube (12) which contains a hydraulic fluid which is expelled through a discharge pipe (14) to a gravity box (22) in which blades (21) are contained to rotate a shaft (20) which transfers mechanical energy to an elastic coupling (19) which absorbs shocks and transmits a stable rotation to the alternator (17) which generates electrical energy for the electrical grid and to recharge a battery (10) by cables (18) which also power the motor. The weight (11) is lifted by a motor (7) and a reducer 8 which uses a belt (6) to transmit the movement by means of the belt (6) to a wheel (5) on which a metallic disk (9) is mounted to lock the arm (4) and allow it to be lifted together with the cable (3) connected thereto, passing by a tower (2), and the circulation path of which is controlled by pulleys (1) which cause the weight (11) to be lifted until the arm (4) reaches the vertical position, when it is released and falls, accelerated by the force of gravity. The weight (11) falls freely inside the tube (12) and causes the hydraulic fluid to be expelled towards the blades (21) and then to fall to the bottom of the gravity box (22) which is located above the filling level in the tube (12), causing the fluid to be returned by the force of gravity through discharge pipes (15), at the same time as it is aspirated by the valve (13) under the pressure generated when the weight (11) rises to restart a new cycle.
