I can never understand why they would suggest size limits. There's the household gravity light using a sandbag already. It sounds very similar to pumped hydro, just for different geography, etc. You could put one under downtown Regina very cheaply. You could also just use a narrow shaft and a cavity at the bottom, pumping water. One hybrid I like would use a kite to haul a tank car up an incline to replenish a reservoir. It could also work on a vertical rig. If the wind drops, they spill a bit and haul the rest.
