What happens when you release 20 cubic meters of water every secondโ€ฆ at nearly 50 meters per second?
It looks like raw chaos.
But behind that force is one of the cleanest forms of stored energy we have.
This is pumped-storage hydropower... essentially a giant natural battery.
Water is pumped uphill when electricity demand is low.
Then released downhill through turbines when demand peaks.
The video shows the Limberg II plant in Austria, where water drops from the Mooserboden reservoir to the Wasserfallboden basin.
The physics are wild: engineers calculated this jet at ~20 mยณ/s. Thatโ€™s 20,000 liters every second. The speed? About 180 km/h.
What looks like destruction is actually precision engineering, and a reminder of the scale at which we can harness water to stabilize entire power grids.
Curious to hear from others:
How do you see pumped storage fitting into the future energy mix, alongside batteries and other storage technologies?
