Gravity Block Energy Storage

Interactive crane-tower gravity energy storage simulator: lift and lower concrete blocks to store and release grid electricity as gravitational potential energy, with live state of charge, stored energy and power-flow readouts.

Solid-mass gravity storage banks surplus renewable electricity as gravitational potential energy instead of a chemical battery: a crane tower lifts concrete blocks from a ground yard onto a growing stack, then lowers them back down to release power on demand. This simulator models the real physics of that cycle — mass, lift height, motor power and round-trip efficiency together set how fast the crane moves and how much energy is actually recoverable — while a 3D crane hoists and lowers blocks in real time and live readouts track state of charge, stored energy and instantaneous grid power flow.

⚙ Under the hood

Lift and lower concrete blocks with a crane tower to store and release grid electricity as gravitational potential energy — tune block mass, motor power and round-trip efficiency and watch state of charge, stored energy and power flow respond in real time.
