Pendulum clock driven by three weights as "gravity battery". An old and simple application is the pendulum clock driven by a weight, which at 1 kg and 1 m travel can store nearly 10 Newton-meter [Nm], Joule [J] or Watt-second [Ws], thus 1/3600 of a Watt-hour [Wh], while a typical Lithium-ion battery 18650 cell [2] can hold about 7 Wh, thus 2500 times more at 1/20 of the weight.
Self-gravity is gravitational force exerted by a system, particularly a celestial body or system of bodies, onto itself. At a sufficient mass, this allows the system to hold itself together. [2] The effects of self-gravity have significance in the fields of astronomy, physics, seismology, geology, and oceanography. [3] [4] [5]
As the human body consists mostly of fluids, gravity tends to force them into the lower half of the body, and our bodies have many systems to balance this situation. When released from the pull of gravity, these systems continue to work, causing a general redistribution of fluids into the upper half of the body.
As of 2018 the state only had 150 GWh of storage, primarily in pumped storage and a small fraction in batteries. According to another study, supplying 80% of US demand from VRE would require a smart grid covering the whole country or battery storage capable to supply the whole system for 12 hours, both at cost estimated at $2.5 trillion.
This article needs to show the facts, the uselessness of small scale "Gravity battery" compared to LiIon batteries. I have added simple calculation examples, from pendulum clock to person climbing stairs and King Kong in NYC, neither can match a simple battery. A bus load of scrap in a mine shaft is nearly as expensive as a matching battery.

Conversely, as two massive objects move towards each other, the motion accelerates under gravity causing an increase in the (positive) kinetic energy of the system and, in order to conserve the total sum of energy, the increase of the same amount in the gravitational potential energy of the object is treated as negative.

Instead, Blaire assigned Kelly to a new assignment at St. Andrew Parish in Calaveras County. Oliver O’Grady, one of the nation’s most notorious pedophile priests, had served in the very same ...
