An old and simple application is the driven by a weight, which at 1 kg and 1 m travel can store nearly 10 newton-meters [Nm], joules [J] or watt-seconds [Ws], thus 1/3600 of a watt-hour [Wh], while a typical 18650 cell can hold about 7 Wh, thus 2500 times more at 1/20 of the weight. A 100 kg human would have to climb stairs of ten floors (25 m) to match the littl.
