Classification: CPC H  F | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method for storing new harvestable energy with excess or unutilized energy, the method comprising:
providing an object that is configured to be transitioned between at least a depleted energy state and a stored energy state;
utilizing obtained excess or unutilized energy to transition the object to the stored energy state to store energy, wherein the utilizing further comprises:
determining when an available amount of energy from a power source is above: an identified current energy requirement output for the power system; and an amount to operate a compressor system to alter a state of the object;
engage the power system to utilize the detected available amount of energy to transition the object to the stored energy state when the determination indicates the available amount of energy is above: the identified current energy requirement output for the power system; and the amount to operate a compressor system to alter a state of the object;

harvesting at least a portion of the stored energy when the object is released from the stored energy state and transitions towards the depleted energy state, wherein the harvesting further comprises:
determine when the available amount of energy from the power source is below the identified current energy requirement output and the stored energy state is above a set energy harvesting level threshold;
engage an energy harvesting system to harvest and provide at least a portion of the stored energy when the determination indicates the available amount of energy from the power source is below the identified current energy requirement output and the stored energy state is above a set energy harvesting level threshold; and

providing the harvested stored energy.
