I have an idea of placing heavy objects on any object that could generate electricity or by placing weights on something that could rotate an armature which in turn generate electricity. Now my idea is only placing the heavy objects to generate electricity. If u have any idea of generating electricity let me know to find a different implement to generate electricity that will serve the community without much expenditure.

Keep working. Your idea is similar to placing a huge rock on a cliff. It has potential energy while it is up there, yet it will never do useful work while up there. Please keep at it. Only by careful and persistent thought will new solutions be found.

I don't get it

many people have worked for many years to figure out the cheapest most efficient ways of generating electricity

this knowledge and experience is distilled into the manufacturing of all kinds of genverators

if you want to drive a generator by putting weights on it, how will you lift the weights? How do the weights help? whatever you were going to use to lift the weights could almost certainly be more effectively applied directly to the generator (if you were going to pick them up by hand and put them there, then you are using human power, and something like a bicycle rig hooked directly to the generator will be much more efficient)

find out how much electricity you are trying to generate
investigate the generators on the market that will do that

it seems very unlikely that you can build a generator more cheaply than factories set up to make them in mass

it is even more unlikely that you can design one that works even 1/10 as well as the highly engineered generators available after many years of refinement
