Have you ever heard a considered idea from a friend "crazy"? well, the brightest ideas have already been considered "crazy" in the past: Electricity, wireless transmission, the aviation, etc, and its creators considered "crazy"!
Here at Fábrica do Projeto a published idea of a gravity energy generating mechanism, of our friend Murilo Luciano Filho, has already been presented and caused right "turmoil" among the visitors who decided to express themselves through the comments (link here: https://www.fabricadoprojeto.com.br/2011/03/desafio-a-engenheiros-e-projetistas-turbina-por-gravidade/).
Along the same lines of unconventional ideas, a company from Rio Grande do Sul, RAR Energy, is promoting the construction of a machine capable of generating energy, in the same way already presented by Murilo, through gravity!
Check below text taken from the site "cycling".
After years of suspense and mysterious advertisements on the pages of newspapers in Porto Alegre, finally, according to the company RAR Energia, the assembly of a generator that uses the force of gravity to generate renewable energy was completed. Known as perpetual motion, the system would take advantage of an endless source without emitting pollution into the environment or increasing the planet's temperature.
available anytime, anywhere and as much as needed, the planet's gravity energy would be harnessed without causing imbalances in the environment, different from conventional generation methods, that culminate in various impacts on nature. The machine built by the company would be the only one in operation, In the whole world, that would use the force of gravity to produce electricity.
The system, also called perpetual motion machine, challenges the consensus of physics, since it breaks the laws of thermodynamics, e, yet, the Golden Law of Mechanics - which establishes that all work applied must be greater than or equal to the work performed. Even so, during the generator assembly steps, the scientists made available a copy of the unbelievable system in a smaller size at the company's headquarters..
According to the company website, the equipment that takes advantage of the planet's gravity is powered by a mechanical system and has the capacity to generate 30 kW - at first, their idea would be to build a concept, in order to boost this generation method worldwide.
Also according to the company, a model identical to the one that was recently completed in the state capital would be being developed by them in the city of Gilman, in the US state of Illinois. The machine was inspired by a combustion engine, where a set of weights is equivalent to fuel and pistons, that drive the connecting rods connected to the crankshaft.
In response to an email from the US PESWiki site, Renato Ribeiro, president of RAR Energia, said that this type of technology has been studied for centuries, that's why, it's natural for people to be skeptical. He promised that the technology will surprise a lot of people and said the patent has already been applied for..
The information was disclosed by the company last Saturday in an advertisement in the Folha de São Paulo newspaper and on its website. despite that, there is still no proof of the machine's veracity by the scientific community. Furthermore, no video of the system in action was released.

Apparently the project did not prosper. The company's page is currently down and there is no further evidence of the success of this project. For information: http://www.if.ufrgs.br/cref/?area=questions&id=1333
