iCAST - The International Center for Appropriate and Sustainable Technology, has created a prototype for a compressed air energy storage system. This system is designed to reduce peak demand usage/charges for consumers and utilities.
Neat idea, but, the conversion factor from one form of energy to another....then back again has to hurt the overall efficiency. Did this motor/generator have magnetic bearings installed? What did you do to reduce the drag on the compressor pistons? What is the overall efficiency for this device......Pout/Pin???
God help us! What a great idea. It was like using a missile to shoot a mosquito.

during the winter the excess heat is used to heat the house.
you can make windmills to create compressed air..

I was on the team that developed this project and filmed the video. Yes...it's a Tesla Turbine. Fun project to work on.
