TWO-LEVEL METHOD OF ACCUMULATING GAS AND ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICAL ENERGY Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC H05F7/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: accumulation of electrical energy is achieved using two electrically conducting shell structures with a spherical or some other shape, inside each of which an aerostat is put. The shell structures are put into the atmosphere at two different levels relative the surface of the earth using ropes made from dielectric material and two hoists. The difference in the levels determines the maximum quantity of accumulated electrical energy, and is transmitted along two insulated electrical wires to a capacitor. One of the electrical wires connects the electrically conducting shell structure, held in the upper level, to the capacitor through a fuse, inductance, amperemeter and a single-valve rectifier. A discharger and a capacitor are connected to the fuse.

EFFECT: wider functional capabilities.
