Oops, yes, it's MWh,not KWh

So that would mean our sand battery would have to deliver 10MW, which might be possible given the heat capacity, but I suspect it would only really work for many fewer homes - or of course you could have a bigger pile of sand!



Yes, but how does it heat these houses? The method? Calling it a battery implies electric recovery doesn't it? Or are you suggesting blowing air through it down pipes to houses?
