Engineers explore using gentle slopes rather than steep dams or mountains
to store electricity

RheEnergise is bringing innovation to pumped hydro storage. We call our
new solution High-Density Hydro „¢.

HD Hydro „¢ uses our proprietary HD Fluid R-19 „¢, which has 2.5x the
density of water. R-19 gives RheEnergise projects 2.5x the power and 2.5x
the energy when compared to water.

I wonder what their proprietary HD Fluid R-19 „¢ actually is?


Dunno but barium salts are commonly used to increase the density of
drilling mud.

Cant imagine that suspended particles would do a turbine any good though.
