The unit consists of an insulated silo filled with sand, and is outfitted with heat transfer pipes and tech to convert electricity to heat

So it’s basically a hot pile of sand with a steam engine attached to it? I don’t know if I think this will actually work but it does seem like a fun concept

It’s a thermal battery. They always sound weird, but yeah they work
