grid (public electricity distribution network), generator set, solar electric power plant (solar cell energy ), wind electric power plant and etc.
- a plurality of converters each of which is a device to convert alternating current into direct current, wherein the electricity received by the apparatus according to the invention is in the form of alternating current, and the electricity received by the apparatus has to be converted to direct current so that it can be multiplied and stored in the apparatus. There will be inevitable energy loss during the conversion, but the loss is insignificant, i.e. about one percent of the input .
- an electric power multiplier, its circuitry is shown in Figure 2, is a main feature of the invention, wherein the circuitry will function to change an electrical parameter value, coordinate the electrical parameter value and then send the coordinated value to a direct current circuitry in the apparatus in order to be converted back to alternating current,

4. the position in which the apparatus is placed and operates, under or above the ground, and
5. the price, which is also a consideration in selecting the type of batteries to be used. - an inverter, which is a device to convert direct current into alternating current. The electricity which is already processed and converted by the apparatus will be stored in a series of batteries, while the electricity to be used by consumers will be outputted from the apparatus in the form of alternating current, this is the reason that the direct current electricity stored in the apparatus must be firstly converted into the alternating current before it can be usable .

The controller is a device comprising some transistors, resistors, and capacitors as its components .
Furthermore, in order for the apparatus for increasing electrical power availability according to the invention can operate maximally, some safety means are preferably used to check the level of current flowing into the apparatus, if for example the input voltage is less than 200 Volt or higher than 230 Volt the safety means will
command a main switch to be unable to be closed or to be opened.
Similarly, if the one or more batteries are poorly working, the safety means will carry out a safety measures whereby the alternating current supplied to the apparatus, trough some converter, will be converted into direct current and then stored in a group of available batteries that still work properly, and the number of batteries needed is calculated according to the requirement.
Furthermore EPM will regulate the electricity supply to be charged into the batteries and for consumer use, so that the energy available to the consumer will not interrupted and will be sufficient for consumer use.
The EPM will measure the amount of energy required by the consumer, and then generate the electricity output as required partly from the public electricity network (power grid), the electricity input to the apparatus, and partly from energy stored in the batteries of the apparatus .

1) to be closed so that the battery 1 will give an input to the inverter which in forwarding the electricity inputted to the load attached; The amount of energy taken from the batteries is directly proportional to the level of the load attached, the higher the load the higher the energy taken from the batteries; The controllers will calculate the amount of electrical current that may be absorbed from the batteries and this in turn will determine the amount of current required for charging the spare batteries; The energy for charging the spare batteries is taken from the power grid and the energy, which is in the form of alternating current inputted to the apparatus, is then converted into direct current by the converters; The controllers will limit (restrict) the amount of energy extracted from the power grid, i.e. maximal 30 % of the total energy required; The energy extracted will then be uniformly distributed among the spare batteries and stored in the batteries for further use; While battery 1 is being in use, the three controllers will work in coordination and make such a command that the current that should all have been used for charging the battery 1, is distributed to other spare batteries in uniform amounts.
The said operation is repeated so that all the batteries are always fully charged with electrical energy and able to supply the energy as required by the load attached to the apparatus, where as the controller is an electronic circuit and consists of capacitors arranged in such a way that it can function as said above, the capacitors functioning as energy storages for the batteries being used, will be commanded to distribute the
energy contained therein to the awaiting batteries .
