This is an energy storage system that generates electricity using specialized balls. The facility moves many of these balls from a lower reservoir to an upper one. The balls then fall through a system, hitting a turbine to generate power before returning to the lower reservoir. The invention specifically describes balls with a complex internal structure, including multiple layers, a divider, an endosome, a payload container, and a payload.
Why it matters: Filed in 2022. Advances in composite materials and additive manufacturing could now simplify producing the complex, multi-layered ballistic balls.
