Sun-in-a-box
Asegun Henry (Mechanical Engineering) has created a new energy storage system termed “ sun-in-a-box.” This system is paired with solar and wind farms and consists of a heavily insulated, warehouse-sized container filled with white-hot liquid metal. Any excess energy captured during low-use times would be diverted into this container where it would be converted into heat. When energy demand goes up, the liquid metal could be pumped through a converter to turn heat back into electricity. |
