AmosLightninGreat episode of Volts about putting batteries in induction stoves. The principle is the same as with water towers. The water tower handles peak load in the morning when everyone's taking showers. Then they fill it back up the rest of the day and night with a much smaller and cheaper pump than they'd otherwise need to handle the peak load. #voltspodcast
