Let's file this post under "mistakes that Rhett made that he doesn't want to make again." If I don't write it down, I won't learn from my mistakes. How about I start this with the following problem.

Potential energy is stored energy. Potential energy is the energy that exists by virtue of the relative positions (configurations) of the objects within a physical system. This form of energy has the ...

This is sort of awesome. It's a concrete gravity battery. What? Yup. The idea is to even out the balance between power generation and power usage; like with any battery, this one allows you to store ...

Energy Vault's EVu concept is a superstructure tower design, which improves unit economics and enables GESS integration into tall building. SOM will work on systems for actual projects with customer ...

According to Spectrum, several companies are poised to make a splash storing energy with gravity. That sounds fancy and high tech at first, but is it, really? Sure, we usually think of energy storage ...

Inspired by Galileo Galilei, in 1656 Christiaan Huygens invents pendulum clock. Through 18th and 19th centuries until 1930s, these clocks are precise time keepers. They use weights with escapement ...
