Abstract:
A Hydraulic Gravity Harvester is disclosed; having a plural of slip buckets, each slip bucket has a piston that works with a valve that is connected to the lower end of each piston; each slip bucket reciprocates vertically within a cylinder. When the valve is in the closed position and the slip bucket is on the down stroke, it creates a positive pressure in the cylinder pushing fluid up to a reservoir positioned high above the slip buckets. Each slip bucket on the down stroke is connected so that the opposite valve is in the open position and on the up stroke, so the weight of the fluid that has pushed this slip bucket down now rest on the bottom of the cylinder. This allows the slip bucket that is on the down stroke to turn a shaft creating a rotational torque.

       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    The present invention relates generally to a gravity driven hydraulic energy generating machine, and more specifically to a Hydraulic Gravity Harvester and method for manipulating the difference between the weighed measured of a fluid medium and the hydrostatic pressure of a fluid column. 
         [0005]    As concerns about the world&#39;s dependence on non-renewable energy sources increase, and people become more aware of the environmental impacts of fossil fuels, there is more interest in alternative energy sources. When designing alternative energy sources we must take extra care, as to not change the environment such as in the case of a hydroelectric dam, or produce long term hazardous waste such as in nuclear energy. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to produce energy without outside dependencies, environmental impacts, or hazardous waste. 
         [0006]    Various devices and methods have been developed that utilize natural forces to provide energy. Many patents are not practical due to their cumbersome size, loss in fluids, uncontrollable weather conditions, such as cloudy/rainy days, flooding and drought, high and/or no winds and uncontrollable temperatures. 
         [0007]    There are many patents that use both buoyancy and gravity that have valve systems which are very complicated and wood need a lot of maintenance due to wear and tear. These systems also use a lot of the energy that is produced to operate its own mechanics. 
         [0008]    Patents that require the use of elaborate and complicated mechanisms are prone to mechanical failure and excessive wear of parts, raising maintenance costs. 
         [0009]    The continuous use of assistance through external power sources to maintain a constant production of energy is also used by several other patent designs. 
         [0010]    Therefore, it is very apparent that there is a great need for an energy producing system that is cost effective and can efficiently produce clean efficient self reliant energy. My present invention overcomes these previous problems to produce clean efficient residual energy. 
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0011]    The primary object of the invention is to provide a method for harvesting energy from gravity. 
         [0012]    Another object of the invention is to provide a pump that operates on gravity alone. 
         [0013]    A further object of the invention is to provide a pump that efficiently pumps higher than its location. 
         [0014]    Another object of the invention is to provide a pump that operates with 100% displacement. 
         [0015]    A further object of the invention is to convert gravity into rotational torque with a pump. 
         [0016]    Yet another object of the invention is to convert rotational torque into energy. 
         [0017]    A further object of the invention is to convert inertia into energy. 
         [0018]    A further object of the invention is to provide a means to produce energy from a collective hydrostatic head. 
         [0019]    Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following descriptions, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       [0035]    Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms, compounded or stacked in unison. Structural framework and fastening such as nuts and bolts are purposely omitted to provide a better general concept of the invention. It is to be understood that lubrication and/or bearings are to be used in high friction areas. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner. 
         [0036]    Referring to  FIG. 1  there is shown a perspective view of a machine for Harvesting Energy from Gravity comprising a plural of slip bucket assemblies  199  each slip bucket assembly is generally comprised of a slip bucket sleeve  100  which houses a slip bucket piston  110  which is attached to a slip bucket piston valve  120  that reciprocates within the slip bucket sleeve  100 . Further showing the main drive chain assembly  232  connecting the plural of slip bucket assemblies  199 . The main drive chain assembly  232  connects an operator wheel  260  attached to each of the slip bucket pistons  110 . A main tank  500  which houses the main body of fluid  501  for the invention. A fluid riser pipe assembly  535  to provide a means for the fluid  501  to be pumped back up to the main tank  500 . Also showing a plural of fill up valve assemblies  399  that will provide a means to control the amount of fluid  501  deposited into the slip bucket piston  110 . Also shown in  FIG. 1  is the flywheel transmission assembly  569  comprising of a lower sprocket  560 , a upper sprocket  561 , and a flywheel transmission chain  562  allowing the flywheel transmission assembly  569  a geared ratio between the movement of the slip bucket assembly  199  and a flywheel and shaft  555 .  FIG. 1  further illustrates the secondary ram pump energy system  499  comprising of said fill up valve assembly  399  which also has a ram pump feature each time the valve is closed pushing fluid  501  into the fill up valve ram fluid run  470  to accumulate fluid  501  for the secondary ram pump energy system  499 .  FIG. 1  also shows the cross-sectional paths  10 ,  11 ,  12 ,  13 , and  14  shown in some of the following figures. 
         [0037]      FIG. 2   a  shows a left front view cut along the cross-sectional paths  10  and  11  shown in  FIG. 1 . This view shows inner components and one stage of a continuous slip bucket cycle. Referring to the slip bucket assembly  199  which is comprised of the fill up valve assembly  399 , the slip bucket sleeve  100 , the slip bucket piston  110 , the slip bucket piston valve  120 , and a fill up valve pipe assembly  355 . Further showing a more detailed description of the slip bucket assembly  199  comprised of a fluid riser check valve  520 , a fluid riser check valve ball  521 , a fluid riser pipe ( 1   a )  530 , and a fluid riser pipe ( 1   b )  540  of the fluid riser pipe assembly  535 . Also showing the fluid  501  inside of the main tank  500  which is delivered by way of the fluid riser pipe assembly  535  on the return side of the slip bucket cycle and the fill up valve pipe assembly  355  on the fill up side of the slip bucket cycle. A slip bucket piston head  111  and a slip bucket piston body  112  of the slip bucket piston  110  fills with fluid  501  from the fill up valve pipe assembly  355  controlled by the fill up valve assembly  399 . As the slip bucket piston body  112  fills with fluid  501  a slip bucket float  150  rises to release the slip bucket piston  110  from a slip bucket hanger  130  applying the weight of the fluid  501  held within the slip bucket piston  110  to the operator wheel  260  and the main drive chain assembly  232  turning a main drive sprocket  220  and a main drive shaft  200 . The operator wheel  260  also controls a slip bucket valve rod  122  of the slip bucket piston valve  120  in the close-up view  FIG. 2   b  which refers to a more detailed view of a slip bucket valve plug  123  which has a slip bucket valve inner o-ring  125  around its outer edge to form a seal within the slip bucket piston head  111  and the slip bucket piston valve  120  keeping the weight of the fluid  501  within the slip bucket piston  110 . Also showing a slip bucket valve outer o-ring  126  within the outer perimeter of the slip bucket piston valve  120  to provide a seal between the slip bucket piston valve  120  and the slip bucket sleeve  100 . The close-up view of  FIG. 2   b  also shows the slip bucket valve pin  121  within the slip bucket valve pin guide  124  of the slip bucket piston valve  120  to provide a means of holding the slip bucket piston valve  120  in a slide able stage along the elongated axis of the slip bucket piston  110  allowing the slip bucket piston valve  120  to open or close without allowing the slip bucket piston valve  120  to turn. 
         [0038]      FIG. 2   c  shows a perspective right front view cut along the cross-sectional paths  10  and  11  shown in  FIG. 1 , showing inner components and the opening stage of the slip bucket cycle. This is the opposite position of the slip bucket cycle shown in  FIG. 2   a . In this stage of the slip bucket cycle, the slip bucket piston  110  no longer is held by the slip bucket hanger  130  which now rests on the fluid riser pipe ( 1   a )  530  stopped by a slip bucket piston top  115 . Inertia from other components provide slack in the main drive chain assembly  232  by continuing to turn the main drive sprocket  220  and main drive shaft  200  allowing the heavy side of the operator wheel  260  to rotate forcing the slip bucket valve rod  122  to open the slip bucket piston valve  120 . The close-up view of  FIG. 2   d  shows in more detail an aperture  116  in the lower section of the slip bucket piston head  111 , and a plural of apertures  128  in the lower section of the slip bucket valve  120  located around the slip bucket valve plug  123 . The slip bucket piston  110  is now freed from the weight of the fluid  501  within the slip bucket piston  110 , since that weight now rests on the bottom  101  of the slip bucket sleeve  100 . There is also shown a slip bucket piston o-ring  114  in the slip bucket piston head  111  and a slip bucket valve outer o-ring  126  in the slip bucket piston valve  120  to prevent the fluid  501  from leaking into the upper slip bucket sleeve  100 . The fluid  501  that was previously in the upper slip bucket sleeve  100  is now displaced by the slip bucket piston  110  and is in the fluid riser pipe assembly  535  and rests on the fluid riser check valve ball  521  within the fluid riser check valve  520 . Since the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid  501  column within the fluid riser pipe assembly  535  is greater than the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid  501  column within the slip bucket piston  110  the fluid riser check valve ball  521  seals against the fluid riser check valve  520  not allowing the fluid  501  column within the fluid riser pipe assembly  535  to fall and displace the fluid  501  column within slip bucket piston  110 . Since the slip bucket piston valve  120  is now in the open position the slip bucket piston  110  only has its own weight, plus fluid friction to overcome on the upstroke of this slip bucket cycle. Therefore, the weight of the slip bucket piston  110  plus the amount of fluid  501  weight of the opposite side will fall from the force of gravity on the next stroke pulling this slip bucket piston  110  back into the fill stage of the slip bucket cycle. 
         [0039]      FIG. 3   a  shows a more detailed perspective view of the primary fill up valve assembly  399  in the open fill stage cut along the cross-sectional path  10  shown in  FIG. 1 . This means fluid  501  from above would be flowing into the fill up valve body  400  in between a fill up valve  410  and a fill up valve seat  402  into an aperture  401  in the lower fill up valve body  400 . The fill up valve  410  is held open by a fill up valve link  420  attached to the secondary fill up valve lever arm  354  this allows the fluid to flow into the fill up valve bottom  440  and into the slip bucket piston  110  shown in  FIG. 2   a . The secondary fill up valve lever arm  354  is part of the secondary fill up valve lever assembly  352  that uses the movement of the operator wheel  260  to open the fill up valve  410  through leverage. The operator wheel  260  lifts a primary fill up valve lever  300  pivoting on a primary fill up valve lever fulcrum point  302  causing a primary fill up valve lever clasp  343  and the primary fill up valve lever clasp receiver  301  to become interlocked. The primary fill up valve lever clasp  343  is on a primary fill up valve lever catch (b)  341  which pivots on a primary fill up valve lever catch fulcrum point  344 . The fill up valve lever hinge  310  is held rigid along with the primary fill up valve lever  300  via a fill up valve lever hinge lock catch tooth  321  on a fill up valve lever hinge lock  320 . Therefore, when the primary fill up valve lever  300  is lifted and locked into place, the operator wheel  260  has pushed the primary fill up valve lever  300  attached to the fill up valve lever hinge  310  lowering one side of the secondary fill up valve lever assembly  352  making a fulcrum point at a secondary fill up valve lever pin  311  inside a secondary fill up valve lever pin groove  353  in one side of the secondary fill up valve lever assembly  352 . This lifts the secondary fill up valve lever arm  354 , the fill up valve link  420  and the fill up valve  410  opening the fill up valve assembly  399 .  FIG. 3   a  further shows in more detail view of the main drive chain assembly  232  comprising a drive chain inner link  230 , a drive chain outer link  231 , a main drive chain connector link  240 , a main drive chain operator wheel link  250  and a main drive chain operator wheel link pin  251 . The main drive chain operator wheel link pin  251  is located within a main drive chain assembly controller groove  262  in the operator wheel  260 . At this stage of the slip bucket cycle the operator wheel  260  is rotated so that a plural of slip bucket valve arms  127  inside of a slip bucket valve controller groove  261  forces the slip bucket valve rod  122  to close the slip bucket piston valve  120  shown in  FIG. 2   a . In this stage of the slip bucket cycle an operator wheel guide arm  263  on the lighter side of the operator wheel  260  is positioned to push a fill up valve lever hinge lock release  330  downward. The fill up valve lever hinge lock release  330  is held in place on a fill up valve lever hinge lock release fulcrum point  331  within a fill up valve lever hinge lock release fulcrum groove  333  by a pull spring  332  which pulls on the lower section of the fill up valve lever hinge lock release  330  keeping it ready to release the fill up valve lever hinge lock  320  via a fill up valve lever hinge lock arm  322 . Also showing a perspective view of a fill up valve ram check plate  460  further explained in  FIG. 3   b.    
         [0040]      FIG. 3   b  shows a front view cut along the cross-sectional path  10  shown in  FIG. 1 . A more detailed view of the fill up valve assembly  399  shows that the operator wheel  260  is no longer held up by the slip bucket hanger  130  and is now suspended by the main drive chain assembly  232 . The operator wheel guide arm  263  now moves downward with the operator wheel  260  pushing against a pull spring  332  on the lower side of a fill up valve lever hinge lock release  330 . The fill up valve lever hinge lock release  330  pivots within the fill up valve lever hinge lock release fulcrum groove  333  on the fill up valve lever hinge lock release fulcrum point  331 . The fill up valve lever hinge lock release  330  now pushes the fill up valve lever hinge lock arm  322 , releasing the fill up valve lever hinge lock catch tooth  321  on the fill up valve lever hinge lock  320  shown in the close-up view of  FIG. 3   c . This releases the fill up valve lever hinge  310  from being held ridged with the primary fill up valve lever  300  at the fill up valve lever hinge fulcrum point  303  allowing the fill up valve lever hinge  310  to pivot upward. This now allows the secondary fill up valve lever assembly  352  to pivot on its fulcrum, further allowing the secondary fill up valve lever arm  354  to close the gap between the fill up valve  410  and the fill up valve seat  402  of the fill up valve body  400 . When the secondary fill up valve lever assembly  352  pivots on its fulcrum to close the fill up valve  410 , the secondary fill up valve lever head  357  moves upward separating the primary fill up valve lever catch (b)  341  and the primary fill up valve lever catch (a)  340  (shown in  FIG. 3   d ) forcing said primary fill up valve lever catch (a)  340  and primary fill up valve lever catch (b)  341  to pivot at a primary fill up valve lever catch fulcrum point  344  releasing the primary fill up valve lever clasp  343  from the primary fill up valve lever clasp receiver  301  allowing the primary fill up valve lever  300  to fall, resetting the fill up valve assembly&#39;s  399  lever mechanisms. When the fill up valve  410  closes the fluid  501  flowing into the fill up valve body  400  is compressed. This forces the fluid  501  through an aperture  462  in the upper fill up valve body  400  and in between the seal of the fill up valve ram check plate  460  and a fill up valve ram check plate seat  403  allowing the fluid  501  into the fill up valve ram damper  471  affixed to a fill up valve top  430  causing a ram affect from the fluid  501  column above the fill up valve  410  being compressed. 
         [0041]      FIG. 3   d  shows a perspective view of certain components of the fill up valve assembly  399  in the closed ram stage. The fill up valve body  400  is cut along the cross-sectional path  10  and the slip bucket hanger brace  135  is cut along the cross-sectional path  14  shown in  FIG. 1 , to more easily view the aperture  356  and a plural of apertures  462  in said fill up valve body  400 . Also showing a better view of the fill up valve ram check plate seat  403 , the secondary fill up valve lever arm  354 , and the fill up valve  410 .  FIG. 3   e  shows the close-up view of the primary fill up valve lever clasp receiver  301  on the primary fill up valve lever  300  and the primary fill up valve lever clasp  343  of both the primary fill up valve lever catch (a)  340  and the primary fill up valve lever catch (b)  341  which pivot at the primary fill up valve lever catch fulcrum point  344  on the slip bucket hanger brace  135 . So when the secondary fill up valve lever head  357  (shown in  FIG. 3   b ) of the secondary fill up valve lever assembly  352  rose to separate the primary fill up valve lever catch (a)  340  and the primary fill up valve lever catch (b)  341 , it released the primary fill up valve lever clasp  343  from the primary fill up valve lever clasp receiver  301  allowing the primary fill up valve lever  300  to drop. Thus when the operator wheel  260  (shown in  FIG. 3   b ) moves completely out of the way, the fill up valve lever hinge lock catch tooth  321  of the fill up valve lever hinge lock  320  locks the primary fill up valve lever  300  and the fill up valve lever hinge  310  making them rigid again. Further shown in  FIG. 3   d , a more detailed view of the slip bucket hanger brace  135  with a plural of cut-outs  134  located in the general lower mid section of said slip bucket hanger brace  135 . A plural of slip bucket hangers  130  with a slip bucket hanger push spring  129  placed in each of the cut-outs  134  in slip bucket hanger brace  135  to hold said plural of slip bucket hangers  130  in place against the inner wall of each cut-out  134  in the slip bucket hanger brace  135 . Also showing a slip bucket catch bar receiver  133 , a plural of slip bucket hanger guide grooves  131 , and a plural slip bucket hanger arms  132  on each slip bucket hanger  130 .  FIG. 3   e  also shows a leaf spring  345  in between the primary fill up valve lever catch (a)  340  and the primary fill up valve lever catch (b)  341  at the primary fill up valve lever clasp  343  section to push the primary fill up valve lever clasp  343  outward. 
         [0042]      FIG. 4   a  shows a perspective view with the slip bucket piston  110  cut along the cross-sectional path  12  and one of the slip bucket hangers  130  cut along the cross-sectional path  13  (shown in  FIG. 1 ), to view specific inner components while in the entering position of the hanging stage of the slip bucket cycle. The opposite slip bucket assembly  199  also shown in  FIG. 1 , pulls the main drive chain assembly  232  with the main drive chain operator wheel link pin  251  in the main drive chain assembly controller groove  262 . Since the slip bucket assembly  199  is in the up stroke the heavy side of the operator wheel  260  has rotated downward forcing the slip bucket valve rod  122  to open the slip bucket valve  120  shown in  FIG. 2   d . In this figure however the slip bucket assembly  199  is nearing the end of the up stroke and a spring loaded slip bucket catch bar  140  within a slip bucket catch bar case  145  is moving up with the slip bucket piston  110  towards a slip bucket catch bar receiver  133  cut in each of the slip bucket hangers  130 . The plural of slip bucket hangers  130  is held in place by a plural of slip bucket hanger push springs  129  in each cutout  134  in the slip bucket hanger brace  135 . The slip bucket catch bar case  145  maintains rotational axes for the operator wheel  260  while also lifting a plural of pad eyes  117  located on each side of the operator wheel  260  and affixed to the top  115  of the slip bucket piston  110 . As the main drive chain assembly  232  pulls the slip bucket assembly  199  up through the plural of slip bucket hangers  130  the operator wheel guide arm  263  goes into the slip bucket hanger guide groove  131  forcing the operator wheel  260  to rotate in the opposite direction from what the heavy side of the operator wheel  260  had rotated it earlier. This forces the main drive chain operator wheel link pin  251  to move in the main drive chain assembly controller groove  262  while also forcing the plural of slip bucket valve arms  127  (shown in  FIG. 3   a ) to move in the slip bucket valve controller groove  261 . This also forces the slip bucket valve rod  122  to close the slip bucket valve  120  (shown in  FIG. 2   a ) allowing more fluid  501  to be put in the slip bucket assembly  199 .  FIG. 4   a  also shows a slip bucket float  150  inside a slip bucket piston body  112 , a plural of slip bucket piston guides  113  located on each corner of the slip bucket piston top  115 , and a plural of slip bucket hanger arms  132  located on each end of the slip bucket hangers  130 .  FIG. 4   a  also shows an aperture  118  in slip bucket piston top  117  to allow the slip bucket piston  110  to be refilled. 
         [0043]      FIG. 4   b  shows a perspective view of the slip bucket assembly  199  in the fully hung/filling stage of the slip bucket cycle. The slip bucket piston  110  is cut along the cross-sectional path  12  and one of the slip bucket hangers  130  is cut along the cross-sectional path  13  (shown in  FIG. 1 ). A more detailed view is shown in the dose-up view of  FIG. 4   c . This stage of the slip bucket cycle allows the slip bucket assembly  199  to be supported at the slip bucket catch bar receiver  133  cut in the slip bucket hanger  130 . A plural of spring loaded slip bucket catch bars  140  located in each side of the slip bucket catch bar case  145  push into the opening of the slip bucket catch bar receiver  133 . The slip bucket catch bar case  145  is affixed to the pad eyes  117  on the top  115  of the slip bucket piston  110  and holds the slip bucket assembly  199  at the spring loaded slip bucket catch bars  140  within the slip bucket catch bar receiver  133 . Each of the slip bucket hangers  130  is held up by the plural of slip bucket hanger arms  132  moveably placed in the plural of cutouts  134  in each slip bucket hanger brace  135  with a plural of slip bucket hanger push spring  129  holding each slip bucket hanger  130  upright the slip bucket hanger  130  supports the slip bucket piston  110 . While the slip bucket assembly  199  is held in place and the slip bucket valve  120  is closed the fill up valve assembly  399  is open, allowing this slip bucket assembly  199  to be filled with fluid  501  again. As this slip bucket piston head  111  and the slip bucket piston body  112  of the slip bucket piston  110  fill with fluid  501  from the fill up valve bottom  440  of the fill up valve assembly  399  (shown in  FIGS. 2 &amp; 3 ) through a fluid access area  152  of the slip bucket float  150  and a aperture  118  in the slip bucket piston top  115 , the slip bucket float  150  will rise due to bouncy. This will then lift a plural of slip bucket hanger wedges  151  affixed to the top of the slip bucket float  150  on the outside of each pad eye  117  on the slip bucket piston top  115 . 
         [0044]      FIG. 4   d  shows a perspective view with certain components cut away to view the releasing stage of the slip bucket cycle. The slip bucket piston  110  is cut along the cross-sectional path  12  and one of the slip bucket hangers  130  is cut along the cross-sectional path  13  (shown in  FIG. 1 ). As the fluid  501  in the slip bucket piston  110  pushes the slip bucket float  150  up, the slip bucket hanger wedge  151  (shown in more detail in the close-up view of  FIG. 4   e ) wedges between the slip bucket hanger  130  and the pad eyes  117  on each slide of the slip bucket piston top  115 . Therefore the plural of the slip bucket catch bar receiver  133  on each slip bucket hanger  130  is pulled away from each spring loaded slip bucket catch bar  140  allowing the slip bucket piston  110  to fall due to the weight of the fluid  501  held within the slip bucket piston  110 . 
         [0045]      FIG. 4   f  shows a front view of the slip bucket piston  110  as it reaches the opening stage of the slip bucket cycle. The close-up view of  FIG. 4   g  shows a breakaway view of the slip bucket piston  110  revealing the plural of slip bucket valve arms  127  affixed to the slip bucket valve rod  122 . The plural of slip bucket valve arms  127  moves in the slip bucket valve controller groove  261  in the operator wheel  260  as the slip bucket piston top  115  stops on top of the fluid riser pipe ( 1   a )  530 . The heavy side of the operator wheel  260  forces the operator wheel  260  to rotate on the slip bucket catch bar case  145  in the direction that opens the slip bucket piston valve  120  by pushing the plural of slip bucket valve arms  127  on the slip bucket valve rod  122  within the slip bucket valve controller groove  261 . The close-up view of  FIG. 4   h  shows a cutaway view of the slip bucket piston valve  120  and the slip bucket piston head  111  revealing the slip bucket valve rod  122  of the slip bucket piston valve  120 . The slip bucket valve plug  123  is removed from the aperture  116  in lower slip bucket piston head  111  allowing the fluid  501  to flow out of the slip bucket piston  110  as it rises in the next stage of the slip bucket cycle. 
         [0046]      FIG. 5   a  shows a perspective front view of the flywheel transmission assembly  569 . Which is generally comprised of a lower sprocket  560 , an upper sprocket  561 , and a flywheel transmission chain  562  connecting said lower sprocket  560  and said upper sprocket  561 . The upper sprocket  561  is connected to a flywheel and shaft  555  which rotates at a different speed due to the turning ratio of the lower sprocket  560  and said upper sprocket  561 . The lower sprocket  560  is connected to a main drive shaft  200  which is turned by the weight of the fluid  501  in the slip bucket piston  110  sealed off at the slip bucket piston valve  120 . The operator wheel  260  affixed to the slip bucket piston  110  pulls the main drive chain assembly  232  wrapped around the main drive sprocket  220  that is affixed to the main drive shaft  200  producing the rotational torque that drives the flywheel transmission assembly  569 . The flywheel and shaft  555  is held in place by a plural of flywheel braces  550  that also provides a means to mount a plural of magnetic coil bracket mounts  571  affixed to a magnetic coil mounting bracket  570 .  FIG. 5   a  also shows a plural of permanent magnets  576  mounted within the outer rotational perimeter of the flywheel and shaft  555 . 
         [0047]      FIG. 5   b  shows a perspective rear view of the general flywheel transmission assembly  569 , comprising a plural of pillow blocks  210  that allow the main drive shaft  200  and flywheel and shaft  555  to rotate around an axis while also holding said main drive shaft  200  and flywheel and shaft  555  in place. That allows the weight of the fluid  501  held in the slip bucket piston  110  by the slip bucket piston valve  120  to be converted into energy which pulls the operator wheel  260  and the main drive chain assembly  232  rotating the main drive sprocket  220 . The main drive sprocket  220  is affixed to the main drive shaft  200  which drives the lower sprocket  560  therefore driving the flywheel transmission assembly  569 .  FIG. 5   b  further shows a plural of electronic magnetic coils  575  mounted within the outer perimeter of the magnetic coil mounting bracket  570 . As the weight of the fluid  501  held in the slip bucket piston  110  by the slip bucket piston valve  120  is converted into energy it drives the flywheel transmission assembly  569  to rotate the flywheel and shaft  555  with the plural of permanent magnets  576  (shown in  FIG. 5   a ). The plural of permanent magnets  576  pass near the plural of electronic magnetic coils  575  mounted on the magnetic coil mounting bracket  570  generating electricity. 
         [0048]      FIG. 6   a  shows a front cutaway view of a secondary ram pump energy system  499  cut along the cross-sectional paths  10  (shown in  FIG. 1 ). Each time one of the fill up valve assembly  399  is closed during the slip bucket cycle the fluid  501  in the corresponding fill up valve pipe assembly  355  continues to move compressing the fluid  501  in the fill up valve assembly  399 . The pressure of the fluid  501  in the fill up valve assembly  399  then overcomes the hydrostatic pressure in the fill up valve ram damper  471  allowing fluid  501  into the fill up valve ram damper  471 . The fill up valve ram damper  471  accepts fluid  501  to be hydrostatically balanced into a secondary ram pump energy system  499 . The fill up valve ram damper  471  is made with a pliable material such as rubber so it can absorb the energy from the moving fluid  501  inside the fill up valve pipe assembly  355  and the main tank  500  when the fill up valve assembly  399  is closed. The repercussions absorbed by the fill up valve ram damper  471  can now hydrostatically equalize throughout a ram fluid travel tube  479  and a ram fluid holding tank  473  accumulating fluid  501  in said ram fluid holding tank  473 . The fluid  501  increases in the ram fluid holding tank  473  until a ram fluid release valve float  476  pulls a ram fluid release cable  478  lifting a ram fluid release valve  475  shown in more detail in the close-up view of  FIG. 6   b . The fluid  501  rushes out of a ram fluid jet  472  at the bottom of the ram fluid holding tank  473  under the ram fluid release valve  475  turning a ram fluid generator wheel  477  on the electric generator  480  producing electricity. The fluid  501  then falls back into the main tank  500  for another cycle through either the slip bucket cycle or the secondary ram pump energy system  499 . As the fluid  501  drains from the ram fluid holding tank  473  the ram fluid release valve float  476  swings downward allowing the ram fluid release cable  478  to become slack. Air inside a ram fluid release valve air trap  474  holds the ram fluid release valve  475  open for the rest of the fluid  501  in the ram fluid holding tank  473  to drain. Gravity then closes the ram fluid release valve  475  when the ram fluid holding tank  473  is empty. 
         [0049]      FIGS. 6   a  &amp;  2   c  further shows the way said fill up valve pipe assembly  355  allows the fluid  501  to flow from the main tank  500  into the fill up valve assembly  399  providing an elongated fluid  501  column to amplify a ram effect when the fill up valve assembly  399  closes.
