Gravity, vacuum,
and a working
implosion motor.
The Strong Gravity Vacuum Generator converts the pressure difference between the atmosphere and a stable 0.001 mbar vacuum into rotary work — then electricity. No combustion. No chemical fuel. Built to run for a lifetime.

01 — Principle
Atmosphere is the piston. Vacuum is the fuel.
A hermetic tank is held at 0.001 mbar. When a cylinder is opened to that tank, outside air — one bar of unrelenting pressure — drives the piston. The motor does not explode. It implodes. Heat stays low. The loudest sound is the hiss of the vent valves.
Pressure gradient
1.0 bar against 0.001 mbar is a permanent, planetary resource. The machine only has to keep the vacuum honest.
Buffer tank
A 54 m³ industrial windkessel — or a 3 m³ 2025 compact vessel — smooths the pulse of twelve cylinders so force does not hunt.
No combustion
Pistons run on vacuum alone. No soot, no exhaust chemistry, minimal lubrication. Cool running, clean internals.
02 — Prototype
20 kW/h prototype, built in Chile.
Before the Tenerife series path, the programme ran a working implosion plant in Chile. This is that machine: a 20 kW/h prototype on the floor — vacuum tank, motor, and generator in one train. Watch the hardware, then read the architecture that scales it.
03 — Architecture
Pump. Tank. Rotary valve. Twelve cylinders. Generator.
Industrial Leybold RUVAC WA/WAU pumps hold the vacuum 24/7. A DN150 stainless manifold feeds an overhead rotary valve shaft — the brain of the motor — timed 1:1 to the crank by an HTD belt. Short vacuum paths. Full 115 kgf on the piston the instant the slot opens.
Valve timing is everything
If vacuum stayed on the piston, the engine would lock at bottom dead centre. The rotary shaft therefore has two ports per cylinder: vacuum for the work stroke, atmosphere for the free return. Rectangular slots dump full cross-section in a millisecond. Graphite or PTFE seals keep false air out of a 270 kW-class suction train.
Layouts in the programme: inline, V, star distributor, and single-piston demonstrators. The production intent is a twelve-cylinder implosion motor in a 20- or 40-foot container.

Sized so twelve 12 cm cylinders do not starve at speed. Constant force under load, water-cooled pump, industrial three-phase start.
05 — Dual yield
Power — and drinking water from air.
Plants scale from about 100 kW — twenty households — to multi-megawatt industrial islands. An optional atmospheric water module is specified at up to five tonnes of drinking water per day, or more on larger trains.

Eighteen years of vacuum hardware.
2008
First SGVG
Wolfgang Dieter Weber opens the gravity-vacuum programme. Early plants use large flywheels and a 54 m³ tank.
Chile
20 kW/h plant
A working prototype is built in Chile — vacuum tank, implosion motor and generator on one floor. Film of that machine is on this site.
RUVAC
WA / WAU 251
German Leybold pumps take the duty. Four-year manufacturer backing. Flywheels retired — pistons run on vacuum alone.
2025
Series path
Compact 3 m³ tank option. Container plants. Manufacturing intended in Tenerife under SGVGWEBER S.L., with Chile engineering roots.
07 — Capital
Two ways in. One machine that is meant to outlive the invoice.
Capital is sought to complete series manufacturing in Tenerife — ZEC tax regime at 4%, nineteen modern industrial parks — and to put plants on Bureau Veritas acceptance. Equity, or a turnkey generator with a stake in the company.
Path A · Equity
Shares in SGVGWEBER S.L.
Participate in the Tenerife production company. Access to Canary Islands industrial infrastructure and the ZEC framework. For investors who want the platform, not only a single container.
- — Company: SGVGWEBER S.L.
- — Build site: Tenerife
- — ZEC corporate tax: 4%
- — Negotiation: Zoom or in person
Path B · Plant + 10%
Turnkey 40-ft SGVG
A containerized plant, built in Tenerife by the programme team, plus a 10% participation. Final tranche after Bureau Veritas technical acceptance — not before the machine is signed off.
- Deposit
- € 730,000
- After BV
- € 230,000
An alternate Chile build path exists (Coquimbo, Bureau Veritas laboratory on site, 6–8 month delivery). Structure and pricing are confirmed in briefing — figures on this page follow the Tenerife investment memorandum.
08 — Briefing
Sit with the inventor. Ask for the drawings.
Wolfgang Dieter Weber and the SGVG team take qualified conversations by Zoom or in person. Bring load profile, site, and capital range. We will bring the vacuum train, the valve shaft, and the acceptance path.
