Gravitricity: Storing energy using gravitational potential
  • Currently, they are specifically advertising that they can provide really large amount of power for very short time. I don't know where I read this but CERN is storing discharging some big capacitors to jump start LHC, and gravitricity can provide same power by parallely lowering heavier weights. source required

  • Gravitricity: Storing energy using gravitational potential

    I have been following them for a few years and they are making some slow and steady progress

    From their page: As the world generates more electricity from intermittent renewable energy sources, there is a growing need for technologies which can capture and store energy during periods of low demand and release it rapidly when required.

    At Gravitricity we are developing innovative, long-life, underground technologies which store energy safely and deliver it on demand at a lower lifetime cost than current alternatives.

    Enshittification of GitHub?

    First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.

    It was a nice run

    Living off grid and documenting

    Stumbled at this while exploring small web. Not sure if it belongs here but however they are living is pretty solarpunk

    From about us:

    Hundred Rabbits is a small artist collective. Together, we explore the planned failability of modern technology at the bounds of the hyper-connected world. We research and test low-tech solutions and document our findings with the hope of building a more resilient future.

    We live and work on a 10 meter vessel called Pino, we have sailed around the Pacific Ocean and realized how fragile the modern-day computing stack was. Living in remote uninhabited parts of the world has offered us a playground to learn how technology degrades beyond the shores of the western world.
