Scientists in Finland have developed the world’s largest sand battery, using 2,000 tonnes of soapstone to store thermal energy at up to 600°C for long-durati...
Back when I was studying my group had a small project that was about sunstainable farming on Mars and one of the biggest challenge was the cold nights on Mars. We determined that heating up sand just right and surrounding growing-pods with said sand might work as a low energy cost solution to keep plants at a good temperature outside of living areas.
This didn’t lead to much but was a great learning experience.
Brilliant idea.
