Gravity battery
Gravity battery. A gravity battery is a type of energy storage device that stores gravitational energy —the potential energy E given to an object with a mass m when it is raised against the force of gravity of Earth ( g, 9.8 m/s²) into a height difference h. In a common application, when renewable energy sources such as wind and solar
Design of a stabilised flywheel unit for efficient energy storage
The energy storing unit developed by the present authors is shown in meridian plane section in Fig. 3. It is designed for vertical orientation of the rotation axis, coaxial with local vector of gravitational acceleration. It is intended for operation at very high rotation speed – at or even above 10 6 RPM.

In energy storage, the principle of the flywheel can be used. Flywheels store energy in the form of the angular momentum of a spinning mass, called a rotor. The work done to spin the mass is stored in the form of kinetic energy. Video 1 is a simple video that illustrates the concept of flywheel electrical energy storage.
