Gravity Battery Summary

For my advanced lab project I am continuing my work on the gravity battery in order to work on re-designing a previously existing machine that uses gravitational potential energy to store energy. I will be abandoning the rack and pinion approach and working on modeling an Atwood machine. Over the summer, my research partner and I ran into unforeseen challenges that prevented our gravity battery from working. My goal this semester is to re-design aspects of our previous design and improve upon others. I plan to research potential problems and test out which solutions work best while putting the apparatus together.
