Then, as electricity entrepreneurs expanded power generation and transmission capacity, they faced the new problem of what to do with all the cheap off-peak, nighttime electricity they could now produce. The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared.

What excites me is the idea of cheap and accessible hardware! In short, I’d bet that any decent university or corporate robotics lab with a similar budget and an active PR team would be able to pull this off. No mechanical energy storage, parallel springs etc—it’s not going to be efficient unless they change that.
