Revolutionary bricks pave the way for renewables!
Recommended for Preparatory Grades
Have you ever heard of a giant battery made of bricks? Well, that’s exactly what a company called Energy Vault has created. These are huge bricks that weigh 24 tons each.
Further, they are stacked together to make a tower that can store renewable energy like solar or wind power.
Important Details
- The tower works by lifting the bricks up when there is extra energy, which creates potential energy.
- When more energy is needed, the bricks are lowered down, which releases the stored energy.
- Thus, this process can be repeated as many times as needed, making it a great way to store and use renewable energy.
- Energy Vault’s tower can store enough energy to power a small city for several hours.
- The bricks is made of entirely recyclable materials, so it’s good for the environment too.
- The company plans to build these towers all over the world.
- Importantly, the company aspires to help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and move towards a cleaner, greener future.
- This new technology is exciting because it could make renewable energy more reliable and accessible.
- Innovative solutions like Energy Vault’s tower could play a big role in helping us achieve a sustainable future.
