This innovative technology uses rock as an energy storage medium, or – to be precise –1,000 metric tons of volcanic rock. The heat storage system works as follows: Electricity drives a resistance heater and a blower, in other words a giant hair dryer of sorts. The hot air current generated in this way heats the volcanic rock to around 750 ...

First we tamed the water flow. Building hydro power plants. After that we should have looked at the other natural energy containers. I''m talking melted rock or lava. Not that we should tap that energy. It just seem so natural that we should get inspired by that instead. We need more energy storages. So because volcanoes are a terrifying ...
