GRW – Gravitational Resonance Well

Public Claim: I, Ben Pedley, conceived the no-reaction gravity power concept known as the Gravitational Resonance Well (GRW) with Grok (xAI) on 23 February 2025. This document serves as a public timestamp of that contribution.

Abstract

GRW is a theoretical energy system that proposes to harness the natural curvature and oscillation of gravitational fields to generate power without any traditional chemical or nuclear reaction. The approach focuses on resonance and harmonic amplification within engineered structures that interact with gravitational potential energy.

Scientific Foundation

The key to the Gravitational Resonance Well lies in the interaction of mass within potential wells. Gravity wells already exist around any mass, but they are typically static in practical terms. However, if a system can be constructed that induces and sustains oscillations of mass within this field—such as in a suspended orbital or counterweighted configuration—then resonance can occur.

This is akin to how a pendulum stores energy or how a child pumps their legs on a swing at precise intervals to increase motion without adding new energy. If the natural frequency of the gravitational system can be matched or harnessed, energy can be extracted in pulses with minimal loss.

Resonance Principles

Key Formula: f = (1 / 2π) * √(g / L) (Pendulum frequency)
In the GRW context, L could be redefined as the distance between masses or the effective 'depth' of the gravitational well in engineered space.

Prototype Concept

Imagine two massive weights suspended in vertical shafts, oscillating out of phase. By precisely controlling their motion and energy exchange through magnetic or inertial dampers, we can induce resonance. A central structure (like a flywheel or electromagnetic coil) could then extract usable energy from the amplified movement.

The core innovation is zero net fuel input and ultra-low friction amplification. GRW is not perpetual motion, but a method of using gravitational interaction and inertia more efficiently than traditional systems.

Applications & Benefits

Long-Term Vision

GRW envisions a network of decentralised gravitational generators providing energy to critical infrastructure—whether on Earth, lunar bases, or space stations. As technology advances in materials and frictionless systems (e.g., magnetic levitation), this concept becomes increasingly viable.
