    Not novel. I think there was a train somewhere in Africa, that transported some ore from mountain to port. On the way down with ore it charged and uphill it used charge.

      Is novel for a dump truck to use this. Of course it’s not a completely new concept entirely.

      That’s genius. Who cares if thermodynamics wins, it weighs less on the way up so works out just fine.

      Just like the example in TFA.
