Scientists Propose Turning Skyscrapers Into Massive Gravity Batteries

Takeaways:

• The Lift Energy Storage Technology is the idea of turning skyscrapers into gravity-powered batteries.
• The idea would be to have robots load heavy ballasts into existing elevators when demand for power is low and store them at the top of the building.
• When energy usage peaks, the weights could be added back to the elevators and lowered to generate extra electricity.
