Energy Vault Turns to Gravity For Energy Storage

This has been completely debunked. If you want to do storage like this, do a hydro electric dam set up. This ends up costing 100 times as much as a hydroelectric dam wood.

Dude is full of craps with stock trading at his background … he scammer at best

this has been debunked as stupid so many times, many years ago. just stupid

there are no customers.

Wouldn't a giant water tower be more efficient to store energy with fewer moving parts compared to all the cranes?

How is this nonsense still going on.

Back when this idea was first floated for investors several real and notable physicists and scientists pointed out how inefficient and just stupid this is.

Why would this poser have Bloomberg running in the background lol. Why would any CEO be so focused on the stock price... Just look at what was going on at Boeing.

So how does it work?

The interviewer is correct... it is complex, and needlessly so. It is unusable when it is windy, and even under the best conditions, it requires placing huge blocks with literally millimetre precision, while they are hanging from 70m cables. The cranes have hundreds of moving parts, and have to be both efficient lifters (electric motors) and generators. And a collapse, which could easily result from slight misplacement a few times, or from the use of substandard materials fracturing, results in the complete destruction of the entire facility and an enormous mess to clean up. There are stupid ideas, scams... and then there's this.

They’re slowly trashing their gravity solution that had multiple problems (wind, all blocks should be at the top to be efficient…)

It's too inefficient, just an other investment scheme

No

Could I retrofit a derelict commercial building's elevator shafts for this application?

How's about we just use the the earths magnetic field/ earths core (we are literally sitting on a planet sized reactor)

Scam

The beavers in Timberborn do that too.

very exciting.
