What Is Gravity Battery

The energy that is stored in an item as a consequence of a change in height due to gravity is referred to as potential energy. A gravity battery is a sort of energy storage device that stores gravitational energy. Potential energy is another name for gravitational energy. In order for a gravity battery to function, surplus energy from the grid is first used to lift a mass, which then causes the mass to create gravitational potential energy. Once the mass is lowered, the gravitational potential energy is converted into electricity by an electric generator. A gravity battery is a kind of sustainable energy that may be used to create electricity. One kind of gravity battery is a device that generates energy by gradually lowering a mass, such as a block of concrete in this example. The most typical use for a gravity battery is in pumped-storage hydroelectricity, which involves the process of pumping water to higher altitudes for the purpose of storing energy before releasing it via water turbines in order to create power.
