    Hey Rob. Just in case you didn't know, but your videos, knowledge, and character are amazing. Thank you

    Thank you Robert. Albeit I was expecting to see the mechanical kind of gravity batteries with pulley and weight haha ^^

    A tank type water heater design would lend itself really well to this kind of chemical battery design vis a vis replacement electrodes, system flushing, and inhibiting evaporation. Adapting the pressure valve to vent at a lower pressure than a typical hot water tank would prevent pressurization of the battery, too.

    When I saw the headline I thought it was going to be about weights and pulleys that run up and down with a generator.

    always love these old style (of you, harkening back to the shed) and ye olden style (of the battery) videos. double throwback.
  • @ClashBluelight
    Thanks for the heads up. I thought this was a video about making a long lasting gravity generator, like the ones used in old clocks and outdoor camping lights. I appreciate you clearing that up and not wasting my time.
  • I began collecting various items along the railroad tracks out here in central California. One interesting item I've found are Edison battery oil bottles. They have Thomas Edison's signature embossed on one side. The railroads had large banks of batteries stored in concrete vaults burried in the ground usually near a signal crossing. I've always wondered what battery oil was. As always, no matter the topic, you provide informative and entertaining videos. I think this could become a good science fair project.

    It may be less confusing to call these specific gravity batteries to indicate the density of the liquid is what the gravity is referring to. 😉👍 I'm planning multi day battery backup for my home and flow batteries are definitely on my radar 😀

    Neat Robert. I love to find hidden ideas from the past, I suspect there are lot more in many other fields. Also It would be neat if the next breakthrough in battery tech comes from an amateur in their home.
