Abstract

An apparatus for acquiring mechanical energy on the basis of the gravitational effect and reduced pressure, comprising at least one double-acting hollow piston (1) accommodated in a horizontally oriented cylinder (2), the essence of which re-sides in that the double-acting hollow piston (1) is provided with centrally and mutually oppositely arranged hollow piston rods (3, 3.1) that are equipped with steam inlets (4, 4.1), wherein a free end of a first hollow piston rod (3) that is closer to a first vertical elevator carrier (6) is connected to a first weight cable (5) that is guided over a first pulley system (6.2) and a free end of an oppositely oriented second hollow piston rod (3.1) that is closer to a second vertical elevator carrier (6.1) is connected to a second weight cable (5.1) that is guided over a second pulley system (6.3), wherein a first weight (7) that is slidably supported on a first guiding rod (8) is connected to the opposite end of the cable (5) and a second weight (7.1) that is slidably supported on a second guiding rod (8.1) is connected to the opposite end of the cable (5.1) and wherein the first weight (7) is provided with a first cable clamping element (9), through which an endless first elevator cable (10) passes and the second weight (7.1) is provided with a second cable clamping element (9.1) through which an endless second elevator cable (10.1) passes, wherein the endless first elevator cable (10) is connected to a first transmission system (19) of the first elevator and a first electric generator (12) and the endless second elevator cable (10.1) is connected to a second transmission system (19.1) of the second elevator and a second electric generator (12.1).
