Phase Change Material Medium (PCMM)

Sodium Hydroxde

  • Works by evaporating the water from a soduium hydroxide solution to store energy, and adding water back in to release energy
  • Less energy dense, but potentially infinite storage time (at room temperature)

Hybrid Storage Medium (HSM)

Supercritical Water

Liquid and Solid Mixture

  • Such as Oil and Gravel, or Oil and Glass Beads

Uses

  • Thermal Source (Solar Thermal, Fuel Boiler, Electric Heat Source)

Allows For

  • Energy Storage (For grid/house level electricity storage)
  • Indirect Thermal Vehicles (Combustionless Locomotives etc)
