Project Name Short name::Electricity from gravity energy storage
Project Description [[Description::For centuries, the original "mass-market" computer, the mechanical time-keeping clock, was typically powered by slowly releasing the energy stored in a mass by displacing it by hand against the force of gravity. Now this storage method is being explored as a SMALL-SCALE means of generating electricity. Please see http://deciwatt.org/ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ovoBKuX5II]]
