A gravity battery is a type of energy storage device that stores gravitational energy —the potential energy E given to an object with a mass m when it is raised against the force of gravity of Earth ( g, 9.8 m/s²) into a height difference h. In a common application, when renewable energy sources such as wind and solar provide more energy
The buoyancy-based energy storage system utilizes principles similar to the BBEG system; however, its primary function is the storage of energy rather than generation. By utilizing the buoyant force of an object submerged in water, energy can be stored as potential energy until required for release.
