Energy Stored, in various forms
Energy can be stored in all sorts of forms.
- Gravitational Potential Energy (Gravity Battery) - a heavy weight, high in the air.
- Chemical potential energy - what’s in fossil fuels
- Electrical potential energy - a highly charged thing
- Mechanical potential energy - super heavy flywheels, spinning very quickly in low-friction environments
- Elastic potential energy - a stretched rubber band, not sure if this can be stored at scale
- Nuclear potential energy - energy stored in the nucleus of atoms, what’s unleashed in Nuclear power
- Thermal potential energy - a hot object in a vacuum
