I guess... for the gravity objects we create, we would want to keep packing in the particles, creating a slightly different gravity-model. The farther out gravity stretches, the more particles are required. For our purposes, we want to get max-gravity with (potentially) the smallest possible size.
There also might be something you need to put inside the inanimate object to make gravity stretch beyond its 'touchable' borders. If we look at the planets are stars... do they all have something similar in their cores?
You could also potentially use something other than a sphere. Depending on what you were using the gravity for, a sphere might be a wasteful shape. Like, for the energy-machine... you wouldn't need gravity to go in every direction. I'm assuming particles (atoms, molecules, whatever), are what comprise gravity. Since we can move these particles around, we should be able to direct gravity.
