Springs are great for storing or absorbing energy. When you use a pushing or pulling force to stretch a spring, you're using a force over a distance so, in physics terms, you're doing work and using energy. The tighter the spring, the harder it is to deform, the more work you have to do, and the more energy you need.

The 2014 paper "Benefits and challenges of mechanical spring systems for energy storage applications" includes this table comparing the mass-based and volume-based energy density of various energy storage systems: A steel spring is 100 times larger by mass than a battery system, and 50 times larger by volume, for the same amount of energy
Spring-based energy storage is common in toys: jack-in-the-box, snake-in-a-can. I''ve heard of the opposite system - a concrete block on springs, say, a sidewalk paver in a busy city. As people walk on this block, it compresses the springs underneath it and - something-something, kinetic energy is stored for later use.
Spring Energy Dynamics. The spring constant (k) and elastic potential energy formula (PE=1/2kx2PE = 1/2kx^2 PE = 1/2 k x 2) help determine how much potential energy a spring can store. How Do Mechanical Springs Store Energy? Tension Springs: Store energy through tensile deformation. Compression Springs: Store energy through compression.
by utilizing a novel floating spring mechanism, the weight of a human or robot can be used to iteratively increase spring compression, irrespective of the potential energy stored by the spring. Decoupling the force required to compress a spring from the energy stored by a spring advances prior works, and could

There are two basic types of energy storage that result from the application of forces upon materials systems. One of these involves changes in potential energy, and the other involves changes in the motion of mass, and thus kinetic energy. instead of a metallic spring.

When a material is subjected to a force, F, it deforms.During this deformation, the force moves over a finite displacement, x, and thus does work, Fx.This work can be stored as elastic potential energy (E elastic).A perfectly elastic material returns all the work done on it and thus acts like an ideal spring.
