Isentropic in the UK is doing something even more interesting, storing energy as heat in gravel! Tough to get the efficiency up, but those Cambridge boys have as good a chance to do it as any
Nonetheless, something needs to be done about the grid stability problems. For as long as we keep incentivizing renewables, we're going to keep getting brownouts unless we can balance the grid.
People have been working on compressed air for more than a century. Adding water to improve the efficiency back in 1870! It was abandoned because of technical problems. What makes here think anything has changed since then?
