Gravity ''batteries'' might help a weighty renewable-energy problem
Gravity systems gain more potential energy as something heavy — water, stone or gravel — is hoisted up. Potential energy becomes kinetic energy that can turn a turbine as the heavy material is lowered in some controlled way. To generate electricity, the winches will let the blocks slowly sink down the shaft.
