    Is it possible to store energy by using the atmospheric pressure on a vacuum? That's what we will try to find out in this video! We will built a functioning prototype of world's first vacuum powered battery/vacuum energy storage system, we'll look at the science that makes this thing possible and of course compare it's efficiency against other ways to store energy like pumped hydro, gravity energy storage and of course, conventional lithium-ion batteries.
    Could this be the future of energy storage? Or was this project just a waste of time?

    To clearify how i got to the result as seen in the video:
    To charge: ~12.08V x ~1.62A x 43.709 seconds = 860,64 watt-second (or joules)
    After a discharge: ~9.42V x ~1.15A x 57.993 seconds = 628,24 watt-second (or joules)
    All value's are measured by the Arduino Nano in combination with the INA3221 Power monitor module.
    As many of you have pointed out in the comments below, I did indeed make a mistake regarding the mention of the Watt to energy aspect. My sincere apologies for that!
    The core of this project was to explore, show and see what was possible with this experimental project, even with some limitations. Sometimes it's not just about the final outcome, but also about the journey and what we learn along the way. And I hope that despite any shortcomings, you still found the video interesting and/or inspiring!🤓

      bring the output so that it will be a stable usb-c pd and try to use a laptop with that energy, and see based on absorption if it's usable, because a larger scale version of this would mean being able to charge it with solar and release later on in a size that is way larger than car batteries( in parallel and series) that i have sometimes seen( also a cost analysis would be nice).

      A potential problem with your aproach is that if you whant to store energy for long periods like hours or days, the air will slowly sip inside the cilinders, resulting in potential energy loss. and you needing to reassemble the entire rig to get rid of the air that laked iside the tubes.

    What sets this apart from compressed air energy storage is that the pressure differential remains basically unchanged while charging/discharging and never exceeds 1 bar, since the limiting factor is the atmosphere itself. That can be an advantage, because the power output remains constant, but also a disadvantage because you need significantly bigger tanks to store the same amount of energy.
    Fun fact: since you can't do weightlifting exercices on the ISS for obvious reasons, NASA had to come up with a special apparatus to allow for a similar type of exercice so astronauts can keep their bones healthy (living in microgravity for months at a time can lead to dangerous loss in bone density because you're not straining your skeleton as much, since you don't weigh anything). You might think "well just have them push against a piston or a spring instead of lifting a weight" but the issue is that in both cases, the amount of force required increases as you compress the spring/volume of gas (as described by hooke's law), whereas the force needed to lift a known weight remains constant. So, instead, they make astronaut pull a vacuum inside a reservoir, the same way you did here, because then you're pushing against the air pressure inside the ISS instead of trying to compress a comparatively smaller volume of air at an ever increasing pressure. This way, the pressure exerted on the piston remains basically the same, meaning the amount of force astronauts need to exert during their workout remains the same all throughout!

      That would increase the pressure and thus making his seals fail quicker...
      Nevertheless it is working by using vacuum pressure so it is limited in the amount of energy stored per volume compared to a compressed air storage. i think 1 bar was less than 20% of a kWh per cubic meter. which is 1000 liters and those tubes maybe had 1 liter each ;)

    • @surveysays8335

      So if it takes less energy to store, and you get the same energy out... it doesn't matter that it's a vacuum. It's the differential that is important. I don't think seal failure would be any different. I'm not talking about 100degree differences... I'm talking about normal atmospherical temperature differences from night/day. It doesn't make sense if you have to create heat/cold.

  • @fishyerik
    @fishyerik 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +710

    Watt is a unit of power, not energy. You didn't achieve an efficiency of 73%, those motors aren't efficient enough to turn electric power into mechanical work and back to electric power at anywhere near 73% round trip efficiency, even without all that additional friction you have in that system.
    The biggest fundamental and unavoidable issue with vacuum energy storage is the extreme cost per unit of capacity. Compressed air energy storage is difficult to make meaningful in comparison to other alternatives, but many times better than vacuum energy storage, in multiple ways. For the same volume, a vacuum chamber can only store as much energy as a pressure tank with one atmosphere "gauge pressure", or two atmospheres absolute pressure, and it's easier to make a pressure tank that holds 10 atmospheres gauge pressure than it is to make a vacuum chamber of the same volume.
    With all that work put into it, and it looked really nice, I wish you'd gotten the technical parts about the capacity and efficiency right.

      ​@@ConceptCraftedCreationsCame to say the same as above. It is an accurate assessment. You are probably in the 25-30% efficiency range as those motors aren't very efficient. If you can measure your current and voltage over time (sampling at something like every 10th of a second) you can calculate your actual power use.
      I also recommend pressure storage instead of vacuum as it removes the 1 ATM limit on storage. However, I want to add that pressure storage really comes down to a strength and cost of materials issue. You can calculate it out to a point where you can show a figure of cost/yield strength and plot all the materials. There are other factors to consider though (like the safety of a high pressure tank full of lots of energy). Vacuum in theory could be just as economic, but has a problem outward pressure doesn't have. Buckling. To make a storage system economical you would need to use the materials to the edge of their safe limits. So 1ATM would be a very thin tube for most stronger materials. However that force is pushing inward. This causes the tube to warp and collapse in on itself (buckle). Outward force won't cause that, so for the same gage pressure a much thinner tube can be used.
      Vacuum pressure does have an advantage in that it is nearly constant however, which works really well for getting a constant pulling force over a distance and making the generation and tensioning system much simpler.
      I looked at all sorts of energy storage options years ago.
      Mass/gravity systems take enormous masses to be effective and is why really only pumped storage is practical.
      Inertia is decent for short term storage, but friction catches up to you for longer term. Safety of a spinning disk is also a consideration.
      Pressure stores moderate amounts of energy, but also creates a huge bomb to rupture at some future date.
      Capacitors don't store enough energy, but are great at buffering changes in charge and discharge rates.
      Chemical has been pretty inefficient and low storage amounts in all but the latest generation of batteries. The cost has been pretty high until the last 15 or so years too. There are other technologies making fuels that have some promise.
      Electrolysis and H2 storage could be practical for a fixed facility. I don't see it being practical for vehicles. There are too many conversion losses and safety issues to address that drive the cost way too high (they can be overcome, it just costs a lot).
      Internal stress (springs) don't store enough to be practical for the cost of materials used.
      Thermal storage can be very practical, particularly if it doesn't need to be converted to higher quality energy like electricity. Homes for instance could use store heat for space heating very effectively.
      It is also somewhat practical for grid scale energy storage, though I believe the plants they have built thus far are considered failures.
      In the end LiFe batteries are the most practical storage method available at smaller scales. They are pretty high energy density and the cost is getting pretty low. Sodium batteries will probably over take them in the next five years as the low cost option.
      Regardless of whether something is the best method though. It's still fun to experiment. Also sometimes efficiency is irrelevant. Sometimes it is about what you have and can achieve with it. I have interest in low temperature difference stirling engines. They will never be efficient, but if the energy source is free, sometimes efficiency doesn't matter.
      Good luck on your experiments. Your video was well presented.

Still, this atmosphere battery isn't much better, because it's likely it will lose "power"/stored energy over time due to small air leaks. Those rubber gaskets are under alot of load, and i don't imagine they'd last much longer than a spring.

    cool idea but your efficency calculation are wrong. Watt is the unit that mesures how mush energy is used/generated at the moment. but it is not a messuremtn of how much enegergy is stored. for that you need to take time into consideration (ie. Wh, kWh, Ws). you can have a battery that chages with 10 watts over an hour and dischage 100 watts in 2 seconds. with your calculation, it would have an efficency of 1000% and thats not the case. in reality the battery charges with 10 W over 1 hour (60 min -> 3.600 s). so it saves 36.000 WS. it discharges 100 W over 2 seconds so 200 WS. so the real effiency would be ~5,5% and not 1000%

    I just loved how the moisture in the cylinders started to boil the moment you lifted the plungers. Very neat! The main disadvantage I see over pumped hydro is complexity and cost. A reservoir and a pump vs. all of this. Pumped hydro also allows easy control over discharge power over time and I think you would need a very beefy gearbox to achieve the same here. Still it's a great experiment and a very interesting result!

    Really cool project! I think friction is your big problem. First of all. The pistons are not staying vertical as they are pulled slightly off axis by the timing belt. I'd make the pistons have skirts made of Teflon to keep them vertical. I'd also consider trying different seals on the pistons to see if there is anything capable of producing a vacuum but causing less friction. Finally, the big move is to reduce the number of pistons by increasing piston diameter. When you double the diameter, you double the friction surface, but you quadruple the displaced volume. 8 pistons looked cool. But it made the friction problem worse. It's why you don't see many small displacement, high cylinder count engines like a 2 liter V8.

    Where I live, the area has been powered by pump storage supported by various power plants since the 1980s. About 15-20 years ago though, they started putting in wind turbines. Many people were critical and still are. I think it's really cool though. In the time since they started installing the turbines, they've put enough in that the pump storage is entirely powered by wind energy and it's really cool to live 20 miles away from something like that. I feel fortunate to have such clean energy generation in my area and if I go past that, it's just a giant lake all the way to Wisconsin so the air here is pretty clean

    pretty cool. I'm just an armchair enthusiast of energy storage but the thought experiments are fun. For a compact energy storage method with no chemical danger, no real degradation and easily serviceable parts, I think this is a pretty cool experiment. I think scaled up with some refined tolerances could absolutely get the efficiency up. The danger, of course, is large vacuum chambers, but this would be interesting to see something like this on houses. It makes me wonder if there is any potential in simple having a large vacuum chamber with a regular vacuum pump and then a valve to switch it over to a fan generator.

But! you can create vacum, how dou you want to turn it back to mechanical energy? they won't vibrate by constant vacum and i think mechanical solution to turn the vacum back to mechanical would add the problems back that you solved by using diaphragms :)

    Great Idea! One question: In the efficiency calclulation you wrote "watts" which is power, not energy (would be watthours). Were the motors consuming 860 Watt during charing and generating 628 Watt during discharging? If yes, how long does it take to charge and discharge the "battery"? - Watt * Seconds / 3600 = Watthour.

    I think the best part in vacuum storage over pressure storage is the fact, that it provides linear force and can be generated and used very fast. I could see it as a kind of capacitor. Used when an excess of Mechanical energy is there that needs to be stored and then used almost instantaneous afterward, so airtightness isn't as big of a problem. I had to think of one video from Tom Scott, where he uses a Motion wheel to transfer the momentum of a bike to use it for accelerating afterward. This seems like a pretty good use case especially because it is limited energy that can be converted, and it doesn't bring any access weight with it like the flywheel.

    I spoke to my stepdad about this when before now I’m seeing it and the fact it works and he doubted me, so i never birthed it into fruition like you did.
    Good job man! You completed something i have always thought about

    You could probably greatly improve it by reducing friction.
    You might be able to do this in a few ways. My first couple suggestions are these:
    1: Add braces between the tubes so that they do not flex side-to-side under pressure. If the tube bends, then the piston ends up being forced through a curve rather than a straight line. This creates unnecessary tension and friction.
    2: For the same reason as the horizontal braces between the tubes, you could consider placing vertical braces between the base and top of your contraption. These would remove a lot of the downward stress, which is currently being applied directly to the vacuum tubes, causing them to flex.
    3: A slight bit of oil to lubricate the seals at the end of the piston would probably go a long way in reducing friction.
    Those are just the first things that come to mind, though. I enjoyed watching. This is a very interesting concept.

    7:28 this much tension & gearing will consume energy. Reduce overall efficiency.

    this has amazing potential and I want to see this scaled up bigger. I could see myself building this and hooking it up to a solar electricity system like explained at the beginning of the video, to create something near to an actual perpetual motor system. 73% is an amazing result.

    I've always dabbled in pico hydro & aero turbine for energy generation. This concept is entirely new for me (but yeah... Efficiency will need a lot of work). Thanks!

    A beautifully executed experiment with interesting results. I fear a full sized version might prove that making a vacuum vessel large enough, yet strong enough to avoid collapse might prove too difficult

    This is a really cool idea and I love the combination of metal and 3d printed parts. I love the idea of multiplying small systems by integrating them into a single larger system, like car cylinders. For a commercial system, it could be viable for sure. From a field tech point of view, I could see the seals being a frequent point of failure that would need replacing. I don't know how the whole system works when one of the cylinders goes down?

    This sounds like a very interesting project!! Glad to see that there are still people trying new things when it comes to energy innovation. Anything counts.
    Also, would you be available any time soon for a consultation? I have an idea that I would like to bring to life, but need someone with mechanical/technical knowledge, and also to discuss plausibility based on your experience.
    Thanks in advance!

    This should definitely be invested in and upscale if not for future use than for experimental purposes testing to see what parts wear out, how long it takes each part to wear out, what caused the malfunction, and then what it would cost to make the repair and how much time it would consume. I think this is worth further investigation.

      @@ConceptCraftedCreations Yes, I will absolutely go find your email. I have built one part manually out of aluminum, but it took me a lot to do.
      It’s small, (3in cube) but it’s a 6 way gear drive. Basically a cube with a pipe coming out of the center of each face of the cube.
      I think I may have figured out how to balance out the reciprocation problem, when attempting to harness acceleration from a gyroscope. I’ll email you from my website address so you recognize me. I have to make 7 more of these suckers it would be amazing if i didn’t!
      I can use sketchup, so I can make you the file in that. I have learned since I last commented, that that’s an acceptable method for 3D printers.
      Ignore this though I’ll email ya!

    10 of 10 stars for execution and documentation of the experiment. ❤👍 great entertainment and very detailed execution.
    for the actual energy-storage idea itself, I give it less than 10% chance to survive real life trials. Vacuum based storage using pistons requires insane friction at large scale. This experiment would not scale well at all but for small home experiments like this it was a very interesting experiment. 👍
