How could gravity be used as a driving force, energy source or motor? any ideas? Do you think it should somehow be possible?

I did consider magnet to give a gravity machine the final push to start the movement again. If you let an object fall and it is attached to the middle of the clock so to speak, it will make the full rotation almost completely by itself and there is a lot of energy in the downward motion.... Just that last little bit before it starts again...

Well, technically, some applications of hydrology use water to harness gravity ... take the old waterwheel grindstones powered by falling water.
But as to directly harnessing gravity? First we'd have to understand what gravity is, and while there are many compelling theories, there has been no definitive prof of the nature of gravity.
Some questions: Is it a wave form? Is it a characteristic of space? Can it be blocked? Does it take time to cross distance, and if so, why, and if not, why not?
The trouble with gravity is that it is so pervasive it is difficult to test. Unlike electricity, or radioactivity or other forms of energy, gravity is always there, even in orbit (where "weightlessness" is really "freefall").
It may be possible to directly harness gravity, but it will require a brilliant moment, an "AHA!" of discovery, to let us know what we are actually harnessing.

Have you ever noticed why the solar system we are in, is constantly giving life to plants on earth, why the earth only spins to where the sun rises in the east before showing up on the west? Why your toilet water spins a certain way? The ocean currents, the oxygen and the weather.......all have influence upon each other.
this is a once perfect perpetual machine and a beautiful planet. That was what gravity was intended to provide, unlimited power to earth's life, do you not agree?
But of course, we have "scientist" telling us about no such things as perpetual motion happens in nature.............
To listen to textbook "laws" is kind of silly sometimes. How come if I punch someone's face that it doesn't even hurt my fist in the first place. Like it should if I punch a fist going the same speed as my fist.....Second and more importantly, why doesn't he immediately punch my face back to have factual basis for equal reaction. On the contrary, the equal reaction can be delayed and he could plan a stronger strategy and kick my face in when I'm not expecting him to....
I suggest you further investigate into the theories of early 20th century individuals like Viktor Schauberger and Nikola Tesla, especially about their designs in implosion/water/resonance/wavelength/music/bladeless turbines/wireless/earth resonance frequency/etc. Earth makes its own music too, its just we don't hear it so we don't believe it, we don't see it we can imagine it, we always see things without understanding its inwardly created intelligence.
It should be noted that far away galaxies produce different music "chords" and frequencies, and that these music may be in a way, like the exhaust tone of your engine, giving power, except the noise is music and doesn't need gas.
The closest thing I can imagine is something like this:
If you created a circular platform of magnets placed like the hours on a clock and had a middle magnet which looked somewhat like a screw. And then you had a water vortex to give the initial push and further momentum, the magnets spinning the middle magnet by ways of differnt ion, along with the implosion of vortex power, I think could generate you considerable amount of energy. More than the traditional dams with which we are using right now......
Now, the idea of mine, came from simply observing our own solar system. If you think of a galaxy surrounding a large magnet like a sun, and a bunch of smaller repelling magnets to the side circling, making the planets spin, it would match my description of the water and magnet scenario. And to further prove my theory machine would work, if the sun spins in any direction, and our universe is dense like water, which they found dark matter now, this interrelateness will verify that its possible, but maybe I need to tune a couple factors, like water pressure/water purity, and the density of magnets, the positioning to magnets(maybe not just like clock face but in 3dimensional domed clock sort of), hard to explain.... and the magnets resonance could further improve its rotating capabilities.

Gravity is essentially the driving force behind hydro-electric power. Water is backed up behind a dam (the higher potential) and drops through a turbine to spin a generator to create electricity. The falling water, from the higher potential, through a turbine, and to a lower potential, generates electricity. Gravity is what is the driving force to make this happen (the falling water).

Not possible. Cos it only acts in one direction.
Say a gradualy falling object is used to spin a wheel. After a while it will need to be lifted back up.
Now putting magnets at the magnetic north pole and useing the endless spinning to generate electricity. Now theres an idea.

isn't gravity the driving force in hydro electric power generation????

called perpetual motion, is supposed to be impossible. Give it a try though.
