2. Electrofishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrofishing

   Backpack electrofisher generators are either battery or gasoline powered. They employ a transformer to pulse the current before it is delivered into the water. The anode is located at the end of a long, two meter pole and is usually in the form of a ring. The cathode is a long, three-meter braided steel cable that trails behind the operator.

3. Earth battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_battery

   An earth battery is a pair of electrodes made of two dissimilar metals, such as iron and copper, which are buried in the soil or immersed in the sea. Earth batteries act as water-activated batteries. If the plates are sufficiently far apart, they can tap telluric currents . [citation needed] Earth batteries are sometimes referred to as telluric ...

4. Battery energy storage system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_energy_storage_system

   A battery energy storage system (BESS) or battery storage power station is a type of energy storage technology that uses a group of batteries to store electrical energy. Battery storage is the fastest responding dispatchable source of power on electric grids , and it is used to stabilise those grids, as battery storage can transition from ...

5. Flywheel energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storage

   NASA G2 flywheel. Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the ...

6. Kelvin water dropper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_water_dropper

   Kelvin water dropper. The Kelvin water dropper, invented by Scottish scientist William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) in 1867, [1] is a type of electrostatic generator. Kelvin referred to the device as his water-dropping condenser. The apparatus is variously called the Kelvin hydroelectric generator, the Kelvin electrostatic generator, or Lord Kelvin's ...

7. Diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_rotary...

   Diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply devices (DRUPS) combine the functionality of a battery-powered or flywheel-powered UPS and a diesel generator. When mains electricity supply is within specification, an electrical generator with a mass functions as motor to store kinetic energy in an electro-mechanical flywheel.
