Well, if you want to go ahead with this, the idea is yours to incorporate. You have bearings, you have batteries, now all we need is a long, rigid anode and cathode pair (copper tubes?) on which the bearings will roll. Hopefully it provides more force than gravity and friction on a ballbearing rolling up a 30 degree, metal slope.
