Gravity battery
OverviewTechnical backgroundDevelopmentMechanisms and partsTypes of gravity batteriesEconomics and efficiencyEnvironmental impactsGravity (chemical) battery
A gravity battery is a type of energy storage device that stores gravitational energy—the potential energy given to an object when it is raised against the force of gravity. In a common application, when renewable energy sources such as wind and solar provide more energy than is immediately required, the excess energy is used to move a mass upward against the force of gravity to generate gravitational potential energy. When customers eventually require more energy tha
