Gravity battery

OverviewDevelopmentTechnical backgroundMechanisms and partsTypes of gravity batteriesEconomics and efficiencyEnvironmental impactsGravity (chemical) battery

The earliest form of a device that used gravity to power mechanical movement was the pendulum clock, invented in 1656 by Christiaan Huygens. The clock was powered by the force of gravity using an escapement mechanism, that made a pendulum move back and forth. Since then, gravity batteries have advanced into systems that can utilize the force due to gravity, and turn it into electricity for large scale energy storage.
