Flow battery

Flow batteries are like regular batteries, but they are even better! While regular batteries store energy inside, flow batteries store energy in special liquid tanks outside the battery. This special liquid has tiny metal particles in it that can move freely, so when the liquid moves around the battery, it can store and release energy. Flow batteries can store more energy than regular batteries, so they are great for powering things that need a lot of energy, like a car!
