- Energy storage is becoming increasingly important as we move to more and more renewable energy. But batteries are expensive and have environmental issues relating to them, so many companies are looking for new ways to store energy. One of these is through gravity storage. This video looks at the technology from Gravitricity and Energy Vault to see how they compare to lithium-ion batteries for grid storage!

from an engineer, a popular form of a gravity battery is a Dam. like for water. the Water is stored potential energy in height and released through turbos to provide power during normal operation.
Those can easily store a million times the energy without needing expensive cranes that can’t work in wind or stack accurately from hundreds of feet up, and don’t emit massive amounts of CO2 to form the mass. This thing is a joke while pumped hydro is currently about 95% of grid storage.
Best gravity battery is a goddamn DAM! This bullshit can not beat the cost efficiency, power and reliability of a dam. Even if the dam is built from scratch and water is cycled between high and low reservoirs.
How reality will revolutionize someone's understanding of wind.
somebody call adam somebody
Drawback is maintenance cost of pulley system. IMO a Cryogenic air battery is worth considering as it can store energy for weeks before feeding the grid.
This concept has already been debunked. There are already better ways of storing energy like pumping water in lakes on top of hills then letting it flow down to harvest the energy. This concept is only attractive because of buzzwords. Completely useless. Whoever made this should stick to architecture and leave engineering alone.
No.... this complex contraptikn actually does not work. Has many complex moving parts. Maintenance issues, and let us not forget lifting and lowering many tons. Therefore even if it did work not insurable. Batteries are going to be simpler and cheaper. Wasting my time
thunderfoot debunked sorry do more research
This is a terrible battery, grossly inefficient. People have been doing the same thing but much better with water for a long time. Its like reinventing the wheel as an octagon..
