Could this clockwork compete other storage methods?

Hi :

I'm new to this forum and would like to know your opinion about this invention.

I invented this clockwork of very high ratios to store renewable energy in form of weight falling into deep oceans or wells or to store energy in carbon nanotube super springs :

How the machine works:

My machine solve several stage clockwork by avoiding connecting gears directly , however by discharging the energy in steps.

Group number 6 consisted of gear #2 and gear #4 , it moves from side to side continuously to transfer energy between the gears.When the group No (6) moves from right to left rod #8 will release gear #1 and at the same time small gear #2 will touch big gear #1, gear #1 will transfer some of its energy to weaker spring in gear #2, also at the same time small gear #4 will touch big gear #3, so that gear #3 will transfer some of its energy to weaker spring in gear #4.

The opposite happens when the group No (6) moves from left to right:

1) Rod #8 stops gear #1 to save energy.

2) Big gear #2 will touch small gear #3 to transfer some energy to it and to be stored.

3) Big gear #4 will touch small gear #5 to transfer its energy .


For oceans I would use huge empty boxes to bear the clockwork and the weight on water surface

It's pretty hard to figure out what's going on in that sketch. What is the the gear train supposed to do? Be a variable ratio system? What advantage does it have over more traditional gear trains? A given weight * height only can store a fixed amount of energy, same for a spring.
