Gravity batteries are one of the most promising energy storages for green energy. But they also can produce energy.


Gravitation or gravity batteries are systems that store energy in kinetic form. The idea is simple. A winch pulls the heavy weight up. And then it will drop the weight down. The wight is connected to the generator. When it drops the generator will rotate. The system can benefit sensitively rotating rotor.  

Rotor is connected to the sensitive rotating generator. When the weight drops and its movement ends, the clutch will release the rotor, which gets a couple of extra rotations. The system can install in any tower or crane on the Earth. That kind of gravitational battery is one of the simplest and most effective ways to store energy. 

The idea is that green energy like solar power will use to pull the weight up in the daytime. And when that energy is needed the system can simply drop weight. That rotates the induction generator which also acts as the electric engine. 


The system also can create electricity by using the hydraulic effect of water. 


People can pull those weights up by using muscle forces. Or they can push up by using water pressure. These kinds of gravitational batteries can also offer the energy supply for people who live on coasts. Or the system also can deliver water to people. 

In that kind of system, the water pushes the piston up. Then the ventilation closed. And water will conduct out from the tube. Then the system releases a piston that rotates the generator. And that thing offers a good way to create energy by using the hydraulic principle. The thing is that the piston must not be big. Many small pistons can offer the same abilities as one large weight. 







Futuristic ideas about gravity batteries. 


I don't know how practical these kinds of ideas are. But in some ideas, the yoyo is equipped with a generator. And that yoyo generator could load the mobile telephones. 

There is an idea that this kind of gravitational battery can use for making electricity for small-scale solar power drones and drone boats. The idea is that the balloon that is connected to the dynamo pulls the weight up. And then the weight will drop. Or the weight that rotates the small dynamo in the small drone will drop below the drone. Very long nylon wire will put the generator rotate. 

In some wild ideas, the tunnel will drill through the moon, and then, the weight will drop into that tunnel. That system will start to travel back and forth. And of course, there is a small power loss in the generator. The system can replace that power loss by using small solar panels that help the electric engine pull the weight back to the most up positions.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th
