@pyRoy6 wind and solar at our current generation rates are very inefficient to power devices that create heat. Fossil fuels are much more energy dense which is why they are used more today than wind or solar. You need a lot of energy to create usable heat and it would take a long time to do it with just wind or solar

@pyRoy6 point of original guy's and my comment is to say you still need to generate heat to "charge" the batteries and with solar and wind power, its going to take a while to do. Or it would take a fraction of the time to do it with current systems we have in place that use fossil fuels. Its pretty clear what is being said

@98Zai and? Bricks dont have an initial amount of energy like a piece of coal. You need to give it something for it to work like a computer. Computers store energy all the time in the form of capacitors but you wouldn't hook up a computer to power a house. It requires input to store said energy like the bricks. Coal doesn't

@98Zai you need to charge the bricks for them to store heat. You dont pull out a random brick, slap it into the chamber and get heat. How do you add heat into it? Slowly with wind and solar or faster with fossil fuels? No company is going to spend days waiting when theres a solution that gives faster results

@98Zai which goes back to what I said. Is the cost enough to justify having your business shut down for a few days while waiting for them to charge? If its still cheaper to do this whole brick battery process, why isn't it happening? Theres something clearly wrong with this idea thats not being shared. If it was some miracle energy saving process that saves companies money, theres no reason to not do it so why isn't it used on mass?

@98Zai video clearly says its a century old technology. This isn't something that people just thought of a few years ago. If its as good as the video is making out to be, we'd have a decent amount of companies trying this by now. Doesn't have to be every company but definitely not as little as it is now

@98Zai thanks for showing your lack of understanding

Problem with these miracle inventions is if they are so good, why aren't they being used? If it's not financially feasible to keep using fossil fuels to do this, it would make sense from a company's standpoint to go with this. There is clearly something wrong with this that isn't explained. At least the downsides of solar and wind were recognized instead of playing them off as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Its now this
