This patent application describes a method to generate a load bearing repetitive cycle, which in an efficient implementation can provide a scaleable power source for all levels of human society. Only gravity, and construction materials, are necessary for a viable implementation. No additional fuel source is required for its operation. The potentials of the system can best be understood, by imagining the continuous falling of multiple objects weighing anywhere from a few oz to tons. These weights are impacting a paddle wheel, or forcing their way through strong magnetic fields. The energy generating potentials are incredible.The Trick Dam drops a rotor by falling, and then floats the same rotor up to fall again. Thereby concentrating the gravitational potential of a rotor. A self-perpetuating two-step cycle is the result. The momentum of each step is optimized via a manipulation of the rotor's weight, lighter for flotation, and heavier for fall.
