Store energy against the wall

What is future energy storing bricks?

Imagine walls storing sunshine and releasing it at night, buildings powering themselves, and grids resilient against disruptions. This is the promise of future energy storing bricks. These innovative bricks integrate seamlessly into walls, capture excess renewable energy, smooth out the grid, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Do you transfer energy to the wall?

That is, you do not transfer energy to the wall. The energy expended is internal. Richard Feynman in his physics lectures explains it this way in connection with holding but not lifting a heavy weight: The fact that we have to generate effort to hold up a weight is simply due to to the design of striated muscle.

Why does it take energy to push a wall?

For the same reason it takes energy to hold something up against gravity. Your body is not a rigid static structure that can support weight without consuming energy. Without energy, your body would collapse and topple over like a wet noodle. When we push the wall, no work is being done. No work is being done on the wall.

What are the best practices for energy storing bricks?

Here are some of the best practices for getting the most from energy storing bricks: Choosing the right bricks: Not all bricks are suitable as they need a porous structure and a high iron oxide content to create supercapacitors.

Are energy-storing bricks a game-changer?

Energy-storing bricks are game-changers for our future. They smooth out renewable energy fluctuations, empower communities with decentralized power, and seamlessly integrate into buildings, all at a cost-effective scale. They are a promising invention that could change the future of energy and sustainability.

What if you could move a wall?

If you were able to move the wall you would be doing positive work. But still some of your chemical potential energy will be converted into internal thermal energy simply because your body is not 100% efficient in converting chemical potential energy into physics work. Hope this helps.
