Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time [1] to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential

As an efficient energy storage method, thermodynamic electricity storage includes compressed air energy storage (CAES), compressed CO 2 energy storage (CCES) and pumped thermal energy storage (PTES). At present, these three thermodynamic electricity storage technologies have been widely investigated and play
Four new foot components have become commercially available within the last three years—all in the previously un heard of class called "energy storing" designs. The human foot is an exceedingly complex structure. The pair contain 52 separate bones, dozens of intrinsic muscles, and scores of ex trinsic ones. The feet are composed of multiple layers
Energy storage and return in footwear structures is one way footwear may influence running performance. For a footwear feature to positively influence performance through energy storage and return, it must store and return a sufficient magnitude of energy and return the energy with the correct timing and at the right location (Nigg et al.,
These ligamentous structures provide a means to store and return mechanical energy via elastic stretch and recoil (22), while also passively increasing
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of energy storage and return foot designs through considering the ankle power during push-off and the effect on body centre of mass propulsion.
