My idea is to engineer a mechanism that would use excess energy that our solar system makes during the day, to drive an electric engine that would gradually raise a heavy wright into the air, (with-in a framework, perhaps a 500 gallon water tank). When the load reaches a maximum height it would stop and maintain it's position until it got dark enough for the need for juice in our house to trigger the process to reverse the energy flow back into the home system as electricity. I don't have enough knowledge of electricity or electric gizmos to actually do this but I have the feeling this would work, to what degree of efficiency I have no good guess. "Anyone? Beuller?
