Takeaways:
- Researchers from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis are looking at ways to turn skyscrapers into gravity-powered batteries.
- The idea is to have robots load heavy ballasts into existing elevators when the demand for power is low and store them at the top of the building.
- When the demand increases, the weights would be lowered, generating extra electricity through a generator.
