I did some minor engineering consulting for Canada at the Kwisitis (formerly Wikaninnish) Visitors Centre near Ucluelet & the Kwikwexwelhp Healing Village.
No energy/efficiency/density statistics provided but otherwise interesting because I’ve never heard of that energy storage before (well, my basement well pressure tank does it minuscule of course). I don’t think I’ll do the calculations myself because I’m tired of doing the calculations myself for everything that I hear about. Ontario Hydro One claims our 12-hour night generation is 100% nuclear fission & hydroelectric so I simply leave the oven & electric heaters on all night & cycle the water tank thermostat. Low tech. Can I get a Trudeau grant for that ?
I know all that and much more and pondered it of course. I worked for the top electrical engineer P.Eng in Ontario Canada during his attainment year. I’m much too old for Capital Investment stud. I’m so old that I’ve found videos where me & dumboldguy were personally attacked by some Swedish kid & Greenman. That’s old. Locate some kids in cold houses & tell them that. Make yourself useful.
Interesting though it seems a bit complicated. Still the apparent flexibility of sites is a plus.
As someone from Ontario, I am still chuckling at the presenter’s pronunciation of “Goderich”. Oh well, it could have been Gananoque.

I am going to have acute laryngitis before going there.
I like that it wasn’t a marketing presentation: It listed the technical problems and the various attempts to compensate for them.

Maybe you should consider a heat pump. 400% efficiency compare to simple electric heating.

You have a really strange kind of humour.
You are clueless.
