...a potential easy to understand working ,design principle of a gravity powered device can be the well known LC oscillator.
All that we need is a symbol transfer,from electricity into mechanics:
-working voltage (power supply) becomes gravity level
-voltage pulses become gravity waves,pulses...the output that we need
-electrical and magnetic fields can be gravity and rotational inertia
-L and C elements become...???...this is the point!
Take it as a sketch idea,nothing more.

"-voltage pulses become gravity waves,pulses...the output that we need"
I don't really understand - wouldn't you need electricity for that? Probably a diagram or picture would be helpful.
Hi Dieter!
Similitude is outward appearance,likeness,close resemblance.
So,no electrical "sight".
The electrical L and C parts,become mechanical parts..that's all way of thinking.
The charge-discharge process of energy can be imagined as pure mechanical.

Hi Dieter!
Your question( august 2008) can be answered better now (march 2009),if you take a look at www.veljkomilkovic.com then click on the text of Jovan Marjanovic(Key of Gravity Machine).
Then,it was for me a kind of diffuse understsnding...now I have more clarity.
A possible similitude of elementar mechano-electric abstracts:
push,pressure/voltage
movement,velocity/current
lever+fulcrum/transformer
pendulum+fixed fulcrum/open circuit(no current)
pendulum+mobile fulcrum/closed circuit(we have current,...so a current generator)
As Marjanovic says,if we manage to modify the swinging motion of the pendulum into a spinning one,we can get out energy from this pulsating mechanism.

... from electronics can be a relaxation oscillator:all that we need is a transfer of the groundwork.
A relaxation oscillator is an oscillator in which a capacitor is charged gradually and then discharged rapidly.
Mechanical capacitor is a flywheel type.
The capacitor is charged through a resistor(current source).
The torque difference (in a long arm-short arm arrangement,with two equal masses), acts as a current source.
The supply voltage is the gravity potential between two levels.
In parallel with the capacitor/flywheel is a threshold/latch device.
