They are created since the 19 hundreds.

- jbaber 4y agoThat's exactly what I expected a water battery to be. I don't think it's clickbait to call something storing energy mechanically a battery. I think the scare quotes are even there to stop you thinking it's a chemical battery that's somehow water based.
- perilunar 4y agoThe word 'battery' has a broader and more nuanced meaning than you seem to think; I would also not call this a battery, but only because it is a single facility. I would however call a two of more of them a battery.
- ncmncm 4y ago"Water battery" is a thing people can understand without getting into the mechanics of how it stores the energy.
