If you have space and money, you can create huge "gravity lamp" to store energy: lift up something massive using solar energy and electric motor, then it will slowly generate electricity at night using same motor as generator.
Or you can use "molecular spring", which is very compact, for same purpose.
- yourapostasy 10y agoHow close are we to actually manufacturing molecular springs? My understanding is our materials science and engineering is not up for making macroscopic molecular springs yet, and what I can Google up seems to indicate we nowhere near macroscopic scale springs.
- lisivka 10y agoMake container of highly porous material then fill it with a fluid which will avoid that material surface at molecular level. AFAIK, it is invented years ago.
- yourapostasy 10y agoCan you post a link to that please? When I search around starting with the Wikipedia [1] entry, I don't find a description of what you are describing. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_spring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_spring
