Abstract
The oldest form of energy storage involves harvesting ice from lakes and rivers. The ice was stored in well insulated warehouses and sold or used throughout the year for almost everything we use mechanical refrigeration for today, including preserving food, cooling drinks, and air conditioning. The Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest is still air conditioned with ice harvested from Lake Balaton in the winter.
