%0 Journal Article %T Storing unsteady energy, like photovoltaically generated electric energy, as potential energy %A Nadja Kutz %J Physics %D 2012 %I arXiv %X A proposal to store unsteady energy in potential energy via lifting masses with a rough quantitative overview. Some applications and methods to harvest the potential energy are also given. A focus is put on photovoltaically generated energy. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.6588v2
