Professor Seamus Garvey finally has some real life energy bags, moving a step closer to his dream. More science and engineering at http://www.test-tube.org.uk/

Why not use a tether and wench to pull the bag down, and then release it letting the slack out and transferring the energy into a flywheel when you want it back using the buoyancy as a form of resistance for energy storage. The idea is great but there are 2 ways to do it. The air pumping seems mechanically inefficient, but, this is just a second hand observation and I have not done the math.

Seamus and his energy balls ^^

I wonder how the price of those compares to fibreglass, steel, and concrete containers used for the storage of pumped air for energy...

I love "FUN BAGS"
-
call them egbert and snegbert
-
This is an interesting idea that I haven't heard of.
The guy's a bit of a windbag though!
-
he likes them bags
-
just call em Seamus' Balls!!
you must see the humour of it!!

@ch9il watch bill gates' TED talk entitled "innovating to zero". he explains why reducing energy consumption isn't enough.

"The windmill air pump can't lift such a weight at the end of the arm"
Gears.
"The pressure needed would have to be incredible to pump all the way down."
500psi. Cylinder gas = 2800.
"the bag will collapse no matter how much air pumped into it"
The same way a balloon doesn't collapse when you blow it up?
"The air will turn to liquid with pressure and temperature drop"
No it won't. Even if it did it wouldn't matter, it'd be more energy dense.
"Pay me 300 000"
Why? For doing it wrong?

What a simple and brilliant idea. Very impressive. Energy storage is a vital part of the equation and this seems the best idea I have yet come across

Using the pressure of the sea to store a lot more energy is genius.
