SUMMARY 
     1. Object of the Invention 
     An electricity generating station which uses a method that enables the force of gravity to be transformed into electricity. 
     2. Background of the Invention 
     Electricity generators are known that use or consume alternative sources of energy, that by means of special processes generate electricity, the energy that they use in many cases not being renewable or with scare availability, very costly development or which are very pollutant, to mention some of these; nuclear energy, wind power, the wave power of the sea tides, natural gas, liquefied or bio gas, coal, oil or diesel, hydro-power and solar power are the energies that are currently being used to produce electricity which have the disadvantage of being conditioned or limited by the existence of these as alternative energies and which means going to their place to obtain them for production and their conversion into electricity. 
     The known technique shows some but not all of the most used energy forms to generate electricity whose use is only possible if they are available at the moment of being used as is well known electricity cannot be stored therefore it usually occurs that having the installations necessary for the production of electricity the energies consumed by the electricity generators are not available for reasons of nature, for example the power stations that consume water, wind depend on the fact that climatic conditions do not change leaving their reservoirs without water or the wind farms without wind, in the other cases when the power stations or electricity generators that use coal, gas, oil or nuclear power as alternative energy they depend on, as is well known, ever reducing existences, when solar energy is used it has the disadvantage of only being able to produce electricity during daylight and to use the power of the tide certain technical requirements have to be fulfilled which are not possible everywhere and finally when these alternative energies are not near, the transportation of the electricity has to be resolved across large distances so as to be used in the consumption centres. 
     DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     This present invention shows an electricity generating station that uses the force of gravity as alternative energy for the production of electricity, creating the conditions and combined elements and ways that make the obtaining of electricity possible with this method. 
     Basically this electricity generating station always has the force of gravity available as alternative energy so as to generate electricity, considering that the force of gravity exists everywhere, is available at all times, is not pollutant and costs nothing. Therefore this generating station can be built anywhere that the production of electricity is required, mainly in the consumption centres doing away with or reducing the transport of electricity over long distances. 
     In order to have a better understanding of the invention it will be described on the basis of a preferred modality, which is shown in the drawing, which is by way of being an illustration, without it being by way of limitation on the scope of the invention or the dimensions or amount of the elements which are represented in it. 
    
    
     
       A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 
         FIG. 1  is a drawing of the invention, the electricity generating station where the distribution of its elements and its workings are shown. 
     
    
    
     A DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     As and how described in  FIG. 1  the elements are and work in the following manner, two 30 meter high steel towers ( 1 ) that support a transverse steel axle at the ends and which has high mechanical resistance ( 2 ), this axle is supported on the towers by means of two speed regulating bearings ( 3 ) located on the upper part of the towers that are used to support the axle and enable it to rotate freely and control its speed. The towers, the axle and the bearings are designed to support a constant load on them. The axle bears two six-meter diameter wheels ( 4 ) at each end, as shown in  FIG. 1 , these wheels are made from steel that is similar to the bicycle wheels with a semi-solid combined structure, at each end of these wheels there is a revolution step-up gear ( 9 ) which in turn is connected to the electricity generator ( 5 ) on the axle there are also six direction reversers ( 6 ) one for each container with the power of being able to reverse the rotation in an order of the programme to rotate the opposite way of the axle rotation driven by the force of gravity up and down, the one thousand liter capacity plastic containers ( 7 ) which are hung from these direction reversers by a thirty meter long chain ( 8 ) that enables the container to move up and down accordingly, the generating station additionally has a water distribution system that consists of a ten thousand liter steel tank ( 10 ) located at the top of the generating station, another thirty thousand liter tank ( 11 ) located at the bottom of the generating station and a network of PVC conduits ( 13 ) distributed as shown in  FIG. 1  between the two tanks and the six one thousand liter plastic containers and a pump ( 12 ) for raising the water to drive the water between the different tanks and containers. 
     The method to generate electricity is commenced considering that the thirty thousand and ten thousand liters tanks have water, and start with the filling of the one thousand liter water containers. It is carried out by opening the valve ( 14 ) located in the upper ten thousand liter tank and by means of the force of gravity and the PVC conduits installed for this operation. The water goes from the ten thousand liter tank to the six one thousand liter plastic tanks filling these occurs when, by means of a programme created for this method, the order is given to the first container to move downwards brought down by the force of gravity. This starts its downward run and by means of the chain pulls the reverser and this makes the axle rotate which in rotation makes the wheels rotate which transfer the constant rotation to the revolution step-up gear and this to the electricity generator which starts to produce electricity. On the downward movement the first container has done ninety percent of its run the programme determines that the second container, just like the first container pulls the axle by means of the chain fitted for this container so as to keep up the constant rotation of the axle. And when the first container finishes its run the second container maintains the rotation on the axle without a break enabling the system to continue generating electricity constantly. Once the first container finishes its downward run and the second container maintains the rotation of the axle, the programme determines the emptying of the water from the first one thousand liter container, an operation that is carried out by opening the back sluice of the container ( 15 ) that is specially designed for the automatic and rapid draining of the water. The water drawn off goes to the thirty thousand liter tank located in the bottom of the power station, transferring the water from the first container to the thirty thousand liter tank the programme gives the order to close the back sluice of the one thousand liter tank and it instructs the reverser gear of the first container so that it reverses the rotation and starts to pull the container upwards pushing it by the force that the second container is exercising on the axle on its downward movement. At this moment we have the first container without the one thousand liters of water going upwards and the second container loaded with water going downwards when this reaches ninety percent of its run, the programme activates the descent of the third container so as to keep the rotation on the axle constant which starts its downward run whilst the first container reaches the end of its upward run. 
     The programme commences the filling of the one thousand liters of water into the first container, an operation that consists of opening the filling valve and transferring the water from the upper ten thousand liter tank to the first one thousand liter container, whilst the second container has reached the end of its downward run and the removal of the water starts in the same way as the first container whilst the third container continues going down and maintaining the rotation of the axle the second container without water now carries out the upward process started by the order received in the second reverser which has reversed its rotation so as to lift the container whilst the first container has finished the filling of the thousand liters of water and the third container on then reaching ninety percent of its downward movement, the system activates the descent of the fourth container that starts its downward movement so as to maintain the constant rotation on the axle while the second container reaches its end of the upward run and the filling of the one thousand liters of water starts in the same way as the first container. The third container has reached the end of the downward run and the emptying of the water from same starts in the same way as the first container whilst the downward run of the fourth container continues maintaining the continuous rotation on the axle, the third container is now carrying out the upward process started by the order received from the third reverser gear which has inverted its rotation so as to raise the container without water while the second container has finished the filling of the one thousand liters of water and the fourth container having reached ninety percent of its downward run then the system activates the lowering of the fifth container so as to maintain the constant rotation on the axle which starts its run whilst the third container reaches the end of its upward run and the filling of the one thousand liters of water starts in the same way as the other containers. The fourth container has reached the end of its downward run and starts the emptying of water in just the same way as with the other containers. Whilst the fifth container continues the downward run maintaining the rotation on the axle, the fourth container is now carrying out the upward process started by the order received in the fourth reverser which has reversed its rotation to raise the container without water. While the third container has finished the filling of the one thousand liters of water and when the fifth container reaches ninety percent of its downward run the descent of the sixth container is activated by the system so as to maintain the constant rotation of the axle, which starts its downward run whilst the fourth container reaches its upward run and starts the filling of the one thousand liters of water in the same way as the previous containers. The fifth container has reached the end of its downward run and starts the emptying of the water in the same way as the previous containers whilst the sixth container continues its downward run and maintains the rotation on the axle. The fifth container without water is now carrying out the upward process started by the order received from the fifth reverser which has reversed its rotation so as to raise the container. Meanwhile the fourth container has finished the filling of the one thousand liters of water and the sixth container has reached ninety percent of its run then the system activates the descent of the first container so as to maintain constant the rotation on the axle and once again starting off a new cycle that maintains the axle rotation and as a result there is a constant generation of electricity. 
     When the generation of electricity is started the electric pump ( 12 ) for raising the water is started, this is located between the two tanks and its job is to raise the water from the lower thirty thousand liter tank to the upper ten thousand liter tank so as to maintain the availability of water in the upper tank and the containers. 
     The power station uses a specially created programme for the coordination of all of the movements so as to make the entirety of the elements interact in a synchronised manner. 
     TECHNICAL CONCEPTS OF THE INVENTION 
     The power station is able to use gravity which attracts the container as potential energy so that it moves downwards in this way the attraction downwards converts the vertical movement into kinetic energy which is used to make the axle to rotate and this latter in turn drives the generator to produce electricity. 
     Relationship of the conversion of the revolutions produced per minute by the method so as to generate electricity. 
     1—In one minute the container will be moved 5 meters. 
     2—The diameter of the wheel is 6 meters 
     3—The diameter of the reverser is 20 centimeters. 
     4—The diameter of the step-up gears is 20 centimeters. 
     The length around the perimeter of the 6 meter wheel is 18.84 meters; 
     The length around the perimeter of the 20 centimeter direction reverser is 0.62 meters; 
     The length around of the 20 centimeter the step-up gear is 0.62 meters; 
     CONCLUSIONS 
     1. We have to make the container run 5 meters in one minute making the rotation of the axle along with this run by means of the direction reverser whose perimeter is 0.62 meters thus the following gives 5 meters divided by 0.62 meters and the result of the rotation through which the axle will rotate is 8.06 times by 5 meters of the container run in one minute. 
     2. The axle on rotating 8.06 times the wheel that rotates at the same rate as this but its diameter is 6 meters and its perimeter which has a length of 18.84 meters on making contact it results in for each rotation of the reverser it makes an increase in the revolutions that are obtained from the multiplication of 8.06 by 18.84 this meaning that the increase in revolutions will be 151.85 rotations. 
     3. From the above result we take the 151.85 rotations to the step-up gear whose axle is 20 centimeters therefore the perimeter is 0.62 meters so, to complete a rotation needs 0.62 meters and it is receiving 151.85 meters. Because of this its yield will be the division of 151.85 meters divided by 0.62 and the result is 244.91 rotations of the axle. 
     On applying the 244.91 rotations to the step-up gear that is directly connected to the generator and, as its relationship is 1 to 55, therefore the total of revolutions from the method will be the multiplication of 244.91 by 55 and that is equal to 13,470 revolutions per minute.
