Known as Miscibility Gaps Alloy , the bricks, made from aluminium and graphite, store energy generated from renewable sources, with the research predicting they can last about 30 years without any change in reliability.
"The ingredients for the bricks are the aluminium particles which provide the latent heat, that melting energy that we're talking about," Kisi said. Kisi is now CEO of MGA Thermal, the company manufacturing these blocks, which is partnering with Switzerland's E2S Power AG to use them as part of design technology to retrofit and repurpose coal-fired plants in Europe.
"That allows these assets that are currently worth billions of dollars but will be worth nothing in five years' time, to be repurposed," Kisi said.
I like the idea of generate hydrogen on sunny days and burning it at night
it is to heavy when compares to stored watt it is failure patent
