The idea behind the project is to submerge hollow spherical concrete structures, which will sink to the seabed and fill with water. These spheres will remain at a depth of 600 to 800 meters and when electricity demand is low, they will be emptied of water using submersible pumps to store potential <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When electricity demand is peaking, the water will flow back into the spheres, effectively turning the pumps into electricity-generating turbines. Those familiar with pumped storage hydropower will recognize the method, only in this case the principle has been adapted for a subsea <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/environment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">environment<\/a>, where the higher pressure will enable <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">energy<\/a> to be stored and released more efficiently.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeaea7a;padding: 15px 30px;align-items: center;border-radius: 4px;box-shadow: -1px 4px 20px 0px #dedede;margin-top: 1em;margin-bottom: 1em\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1;padding-right: 30px\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 14px\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div>Have design to produce?
