Gravity Batteries
When you walk out your door today, it may be sunny, it may be windy, the waves may be crashing against the shores with an awesome fierceness. Or, you know, none of those things might be happening. \n\nAnd therein lies one of the fundamental issues with renewable energy, its unpredictability.\n\nBut one thing that won\u2019t happen when you go out there this morning is that you won\u2019t float off into the air. Gravity is reliably keeping your feet on the ground and it will continue to do so ad infinitum.\n\nSo couldn\u2019t we use this persistent force in some way to solve our energy woes?\n\nJill MacPherson is Senior Test & Simulation Engineer with Gravitricity - she joins Jonathan to discuss.
