Insane crane spotted north of Bellinzona, anybody know what this is for? (Naturally a building, but I’ve never seen such a big crane, so must be something important)

It’s called the hydrogen-killer! It can store energy for near indefinite times with very low maintenance and for a minimum investment.
Better than an expensive, overpriced gas which is used to build explosives.
Somehow seems incredible dumb, I didn’t know they were actually going to do this..
Some information on how this works (and why the video creator thinks it’s a bad idea):

This Video shows why this Cunstruction is actually a verry bad Idea https://youtu.be/iGGOjD_OtAM
It’s basically a pumped storage plant (Pumpspeicherkraftwerk) made out of concrete without using water. It’s not feasible because it only saves about two wind turbines worth of energy. See: https://youtu.be/iGGOjD_OtAM
Energy Vault SA 😉
Thunderfoot debunked this stupid green energy storage
This pops up about every 2 weeks in energy related subreddits.
So it made me a bit angry as a engineer in renewable energy.
So i made this [comment describing why this is a scam.](https://www.reddit.com/r/RenewableEnergy/comments/qh0fvj/gravitybased_energy_storage_tower_developer/hia70v8/?context=3)
That crane kage bunshined to the max
A new way to get investors who think they are helping the environment.
I know nothing about the energy storage thing but the crane is pretty cool, thanks for posting
Its a crain used to build an even bigger crane
Switzerland and Concrete,
Its a love story…
Wasn’t this supposed to go on r/memes?
This isn’t even my final form.
Crane-ception
Wow, I didn’t even know that cranes with multiple jibs was a thing
Looks like that prototype electric storage system based on raising and lowering concrete blocks which was said to be really inefficient.
It’s a pump and dump scheme. These guys have raised lots of money 💰 but it’s useless idea
