Wombattery on Wombat Wednesday

Finally, a practical big unit. The Wombattery, built by Australia's CSIRO

"Introducing the WOMBATTERY. 🔋

Today, we're proud to announce a major breakthrough in energy storage: the world’s first battery designed to capture and store the energy generated by Australia’s love for wombats.

Developed by our energy researchers, WOMBATTERY converts sustained national affection, including wildlife photos, delighted squeals, and likes on our weekly #WombatWednesday posts, into a stable, renewable power source.

Early modelling suggests peak energy generation occurs during wombat crossings, viral videos, and whenever someone mentions that wombats have cube‑shaped poo.

WOMBATTERY represents an exciting step forward in long-duration storage and innovation in brown energy"
