How “24/7 baseload” is achieved

How 24/7 Baseload Power is Achieved with Gravity Induced Hydro

The defining feature of Gravity Induced Hydro (GIH) is that it provides continuous baseload power—unlike solar or wind, it operates day and night, in any location. This reliability comes from a simple fact: gravity is always present and always constant.

At the heart of the system is an old-fashioned principle—the water level. In a water level, the fluid in two connected ends always rises to the same height because of gravity and the pressure balance in the column. GIH builds on this principle using modern materials and engineering.

Within a closed-loop duct system, fluid is captured and circulated. Because the fluid is always under gravitational pressure, its mass energy is naturally recovered every few meters of vertical displacement. This creates a constant reservoir of potential energy, available 24/7.

By integrating intuitive fluid transfer systems that connect the ends together, the fluid remains in motion within the loop. Turbines are placed strategically along the path, and by controlling the velocity of the circulating fluid, the system can regulate its power output:

• Under normal demand, velocity is maintained for steady baseload generation.
  
  

• When higher peak demand is required, velocity can be increased, immediately boosting output.
  
  

Importantly, the same working fluid that drives the turbines also cools them, ensuring efficiency and reliability without additional cooling infrastructure.

The result is a scalable, closed-loop system where gravity does the work, continuously replenishing the energy potential of the fluid. This makes GIH capable of producing true baseload renewable energy—anytime, anywhere—with no dependence on weather or external fuels.
