In this video I moved away from an art style very similar to that of Kurzgesagt, to something more unique and own to myself. Please let me know what you think of this new approach to illustrations and if you have any recommendations, feel free to let me know.


Enjoy the video!

This is a really underrated channel with an amazing art style similar to Kurzgesagt. Keep up the great work!

Can this thermal storage be used for solving the problem of duck curve in California?

[snowglade]

The title is a misnomer, you are actually talking about Thermal Energy Storage. That said, the content is good!

[ramonpunsalang]

What is the efficiency of thermal batteries? Liquid Air Bstteries ie Cryobattery efficiency is around 69%. Perhaps do a comparison between the two?

[vedantaher]

can you make more videos on thermal energy storage i mean its profits and losses over other form of storing energy forms ..and anything about thermal energy storage

[kacgibibiter]

you made it very easy to grasp this hard concept for undergrad chemE students. Thx a lot

Azelio is a public swedish company using an Al-Si alloy for latent thermal energy storage (melting point around 600C). They are currently doing a big verification project at Noor (the giant solar energy park in Marocco) together with the maroccan agency for sustainable energy (Masen).

1 lb of superheated metal holds as much energy as 10 lbs of batteries. A single pound of superheated iron, but still below melting point, would make a bike go 50 miles. Why iron? The worst thing that could happen if something went wrong is we breathe the oxidized material, and iron oxide is edible to humans, so it would be pretty safe. Simply force a drop of water into the chamber and use the steam produced to make power. Iron fuel rods instead of uranium fuel rods. I love this idea so much.

Storing renewable energy from Solar PV Panel into a Cooking Stove heat storage sink ..what is the material used ?

[s.sradon]

We already have large arrays of thermal batteries: insulated housing with heat pumps. changing the temperature of 1000s houses by a few degrees is the cheapest, most immediate solution.
Governments should subsidize free insulation and replacing central heaters with heat pumps in exchange for joining this program since public perception is the biggest challenge here.

Is there a video that show the comparison between thermal energy storage and batteries. Like research efficiency, environmental status, storage and discharge rate etc.

[eugeneleroux]

It is not 100 % clear to me how the heat is converted back to electricity, although the sketches imply some sort of a turbine. Heat is a lower for of energy, which means that if you want to convert heat energy back to a high level energy like mechanical or electrical energy, one can at best hope for an efficiency of circa 33 %. Does this sound promising ?

[prafulbhagat]

Can you make a detailed video on this topic.

[Jessica-dyib]

Biochar materials are high silica in the ash component and depending on the production conditions can either be more useful in phase change or thermochemical I think. I would like to see a working example of this.

[SimplySpace]

Great video, you chose a very interesting topic. I really like your animation style, keep it up, you'll have thousands of subscribers in no time.

[rishabhacharya]

well created content ⚡Which application is used to create this video ??

[keshanranasinghe]

Please consider getting a better microphone. I think it would really elevate your channel which is already good 😊

[jamessmith]

This was very informative and I hope we won't rely on power generation and expand on energy storage technology to meet the power demands of the internet, industrial industries, and other energy demanding markets. This will be critical year for the energy to meet the energy demands for this summer due to the expected rise in energy consumption.

Excellent video. Nice illustrations, easy to understand.
The amount of infomation is superb too.
You deserve more subscribers XD
