"We're entering an era when the sustainability officer and the financial officer can love each other" 😂😂 succinctly put
-
This is the kind of innovations we want in this era.
-
We have a heat storage system in our backyard, but it runs in reverse. We basically bought a large water blatter, cooled it during the night, and then used the coolness during the day.
-
Imagine what could be done to save the planet and people if the money put into weapons was put into this type of technology.
-
Recently there was an article about concrete energy storage. The concept is adding some stuff into the mixture and then the final product, let's say foundation of a building, could collect small amount of electricity for cubic meter. If it is a tall building the capacity could be enough to supply the households for a night.

What a great balanced and hopeful story.
-
Video missed Graphite as a storage medium, I think it actually hits the highest temperatures, enough to cover ANY industrial need because Graphite can be hotter then the melting point of steel.

I had a solar water heater. There were 3 panels on the roof collecting heat in tubes that was pumped down to a heat exchanger in a huge insulated tank. One sunny day would give us a couple days of hot water. It would take at least 4-5 days of cloud to bring the tank down to room temperature. There was a tankless water heater that could deal with variable temperatures. Sometimes it would have to mix cold in to bring the temperature down to a safe one
-
The idea of reverse water storage is also great. They run the hydroelectricity in reverse, and when the sun goes down, it runs in the right direction.
-
it's nice to see a report about energy storage for once. It is the key to making wind and solar a reliable source of energy. We could build millions of windturbines, but it won't matter if we can't store the energy for the days where the wind doesn't blow.

So freaking cool! Keep up the work!
-
I love the thermal bricks, they are so cool!
-
Thermal storage makes absolute sense. Imagine if no fossil fuels needed to be used for domestic space heating at the very minimum... Combined with ultra insulation, whether vacuum panels in the silos or in homes, much higher standards of preventing heat loss or gain, it could be a game changer in the palliative care of our dying climate.

This is very Helpful .. Very innovative .. Safe energy resource
-
Thank you fot this video
-
There was a story about waste heat from a computer farm used to heat public swimming pools. The large mass of water helped computers cool now efficiently and the pool for free heat.
-
This is just AMAZING 😍
-
Good report, good idea all around.
-
Salt heat batteries are interesting ,but humidity batteries are genius,thanks for this educational documentary,encouraging future
