Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196.

Aluminium-ion batteries (AIB) are a class of in which ions serve as . Aluminium can exchange three electrons per ion. This means that insertion of one Al is equivalent to three Li ions. Thus, since the ionic radii of Al (0.54 ) and Li (0.76 Å) are similar, significantly higher numbers of electrons and Al ions can be accepted by cathodes with little damage. Al has 50 times (23.5 megawatt-hours m the energy density of Li-ion batteries an.

The islands of Tuvalu are narrow atolls composed of coral, so a football field could only be located at the broadest part of the main island of . The football field on Tuvalu is built on a base, with river clay shipped in from to create a surface on which grass has grown. This improved the football field's condition, although the surface remains hard and is not uniformly flat.
