Pendulum clock driven by three weights as "gravity battery". A gravity battery is a type of energy storage device that stores gravitational energy—the potential energy E given to an object with a mass m when it is raised against the force of gravity of Earth (g, 9.8 m/s²) into a height difference h.. In a common application, when renewable energy sources such as …

The potential energy V (x) of the spring is considered to be zero when the spring is at the equilibrium position. When it is extended to a displacement X, the ends are stationary; hence the kinetic energy is zero. Thus, the potential energy is equal to the total external work done on the system. Hence,
Abstract: In recent years, energy harvesters using pendulum systems have often been applied in ultra-low-frequency environments, such as ocean waves, human motion, and structural vibration.

The principle of a simple pendulum can be understood as follows. The restoring force of the pendulum from the above is, F = -mgL θ. This force is responsible for restoring the pendulum to its equilibrium position. However, due to the inertia of motion, the pendulum passes the equilibrium position and swings to the other side.

6.1 Introduction. There are two basic types of energy storage that result from the application of forces upon materials systems. One of these involves changes in potential energy, and the other involves changes in the motion of mass, and thus kinetic energy. This chapter focuses upon the major types of potential energy and kinetic energy storage.

A pendulum is a weight hung from a fixed point. Pendulums swing back and forth in a regular motion known as a period. The period of a pendulum is affected by the length of the string/rod. A spring is a resilient device that can be pressed or pulled but return to its original shape when released. Springs are commonly helical coiled metal devices.
