APPENDIX C Gravito-electric Generator Design and Calculations OUTPUT POWER CALCULATIONS In general the power output of a hydro-electric plant is as given in 7 equation (C-1). (C-1) P = head × flow × efficiency × factor where: P = output power in kilowatts head = height through which working fluid falls, in meters flow = working fluid flow rate in meter3/sec efficiency = fractional mechanical/electrical efficiency factor = conversion factor = 9.8 [for water @ 1000 kg/meter3 and natural gravity of 9.81 meter/sec2] [see ∆g, below] Calculations and design of a gravito-electric generator plant are the same as for a hydro-electric plant except as follows. First an additional factor, ∆g, must be added to account for the reduction of gravitation achieved by the gravitic deflector being partial, not comprehensive. That is an effective downgrading of the “natural gravity of 9.81 meter/sec2”, above, and applies wherever “natural gravity” is inherent in the process. In the following it is estimated that ∆g = 0.5. Second the flow rate is the continuous rotational flow of the fluid, up in the center of the structure and down in the outer parts. That flow is the velocity times the cross-section area of the flow. The acceleration that the water experiences is to the terminal velocity of an object falling from a height equal to the head. That is for the case of a hydro-electric plant where new, essentially static water is continuously accelerated by the head. In the gravito-electric case
