The electrical current arises in a conductor when an outside force acts upon the free electrons of the conductor. This force is called, in a generic way, of electromotive force (EMF). Usually, it has electrical nature. Here, we show that it can have gravitational nature (Gravitational Electromotive Force). This fact led us to propose an unprecedented system to convert Gravitational Energy directly into Electrical Energy. This system, here called of Gravelectric Generator, can have individual outputs powers of several tens of kW or more. It is easy to be built, and can easily be transported from one place to another, on the contrary of the hydroelectric plants, which convert Gravitational Energy into Hydroelectric energy.

Key words: Gravitational Electromotive Force, Gravitational Energy, Electrical Energy, Generation of Electrical Energy.

1. Introduction The research for generate Gravitational there is a magnetic field through the iron core. If Electromotive Force (Gravelectric Effect) began the system is subject to a acceleration g with Faraday [1]. He had a strong conviction that (See Fig.1), then the gravitational forces acting there was a correlation between gravity and on electrons (Fe ), protons (F ) and neutrons , and carried out several experiments p trying to detect this Gravelectric Effect (Fp ) of the Iron core, are respectively expressed experimentally. Although he had failed several by the following relations [4] times, he was still convinced that gravity must be = = χ gmamF (1) related to electricity.

He used a press capable of producing pressures above 10 GPa and temperatures above 2,000 °C is defined as a flow of electric charge through a [5]. Today, there are several methods to produce synthetic medium [6]. This charge is typically carried by diamond. The more widely utilized method uses high moving electrons in a conductor, but it can also pressure and high temperature (HPHT) of the order of be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both 10 GPa and 2500°C during many hours in order to produce a single diamond. ions and electrons in a plasma [7]. Thus, the electrical current arises in a conductor when an outside force acts upon its 3 free electrons. This force is called, in a generic amount of Gravitational Energy directly into way, of electromotive force (EMF). Usually, it is electrical energy.
