A Gravity Power Tower is a gravity based embodiment for storing substantial potential energy in a number of relatively heavy and vertically moving masses, embodied as Power Mass Modules; release or recover the potential energy in a controlled manner using a continuously variable intelligent, automatic gear system and high speed traveling power transmission cable, transmitting the force to accelerate or decelerate at a fraction of acceleration due to gravity, or sustain at steady speed, any rolling or sailing mass of relatively a fraction of the size of the masses in said Power Mass module. A set of such Gravity Power Towers interconnected with transport guide ways for the mass to be transported on wheels or in water, form intelligent automated transport network for transporting people and cargo point to point, powered by gravity, is shown to replace substantial non-renewable energy in surface or sub-way transportation within and between cities.
