Anything that uses the force of a falling object to do work. For example, water mills, hydroelectric power generators, pile drivers. Even a person jumping (up and) down on earth to flatten it.

Is gravitational potential energy is the same gravitational force?

No. Gravitational force is the pull an object experience from gravity. Gravitational energy is the energy an object has from its position in a gravitational field. An object moving up in a gravitational field gains gravitational energy.


How can a gravitational energy converted to gravitational energy?

Gravitational energy already IS gravitational energy; what exactly do you want to convert? With a see-saw, or a similar lever, or a system of ropes, you can transfer gravitational energy from one object to another.
