Project Title: Elastic Pumped Storage Hydro
Project Summary: Our team is tasked with revolutionizing pumped storage hydro (PSH) by replacing gravitational potential energy with elastic. PSH is a form of large-scale energy storage that operates as a “two-way dam.” By using elastic potential energy, our storage system will be more readily scalable and portable. Tensilastic Energy’s patented process hopes to store this elastic energy by tensioning braided fibers.
