Een relativerend verhaal over energiebronnen, energieverbruikers, voertuigen, waterstof, kernfusie en kernenergie.
A Gravity Power plant is simple, reliable, and elegant. We dig a deep shaft, using standard technology from the mining industry. We build a piston of reinforced rock in the shaft. We add water and cap it, creating a closed loop system, with no additional water required.
A conventional pump/turbine forces water down the penstock into the shaft, lifting the piston. With highly efficient hydropower equipment and low piston speed, system efficiency is high. Thousands of megawatt-hours can be stored in each plant.
As the piston drops, it forces water up the penstock and through the turbine, spinning the generator to produce electricity.
