Abstract:
A system for employing gravity to provide electrical power for mining operations in a mine includes a battery configured to power an electric vehicle. The vehicle includes a kinetic energy capture system that can charge the battery as the vehicle conveys a loaded vehicle down a ramp from an ore face to a chamber. Traveling down the ramp produces a surplus charge in the battery due to a weight differential between a loaded vehicle traveling down a ramp producing more energy via the kinetic energy capture system than energy used by the vehicle to convey the empty vehicle up the ramp to the ore face. A discharging device disposed in the chamber is configured to discharge the surplus energy out of the battery and into the mine's power grid. One or multiple trips between the ore face and the chamber may fully charge the battery.

Claim (Index 9):
The system of  claim 8  further comprising a charging cycle,\n wherein the charging cycle comprises the first zero-emissions vehicle conveying a load of ore down the ramp from the ore face to the chamber and the first zero-emissions vehicle driving up the ramp from the chamber to the ore face while the first zero-emissions vehicle is unloaded, \n wherein the first zero-emissions vehicle is heavier when the first zero-emissions vehicle is conveying a load than when the zero emissions vehicle is unloaded, and \n wherein the battery is configured to receive a net surplus energy charge from the charging cycle.
