What's in the box?
Is this really true or is it a typical tiktok windup?

That's a chance encounter with an inquisitive horse! I was out on a countryside walk with my daughter and she took that picture! The horse joined us and followed me, across the field. Placing its head on my shoulder on one occasion.

This is a very clever idea! It's the opposite of a compressed air accumulator... Instead of filling up the concrete sphere with pressurised air the pressure of the external water forces its way into the sphere and drives a pump which generates electricity....
It's design uses the hostile environment of the undersea to its advantage!
I had a long chat with chatty about it!
The sphere is well suited to resisting external pressure from the sea as the water in it is pumped out creating a vacuum.
To generate electricity a valve is opened to allow sea water to flow through the turbine and enter the sphere...
The depth provides extremely high pressures so the water flow rate is very powerful through the turbine..

How giant concrete balls on ocean floors could store renewable energy
In an effort to reduce the use of precious land to build renewable energy storage facilities, the Fraunhofer Institute has been cooking up a wild but plausible idea: dropping concrete storage spheres down to the depths of our oceans.

I thought it was a CAT scan?
