  • @pbgd3 - Except for experinmental cars I had never considered compressed air as a "storage medium" for power. For coal fired power it is COAL, for Nuclear Power it is URANIUM RODS. i can see the benefit no mining for coal, uranium etc, Each storage medium has its set of drawbacks with compressed air if a leak occurs no big deal NO POLLUTION! Some ideas in the past were looked upon as :Nice Toys" but, with research and development some not all, "Nice Toys" can be transformed into useful products.

  • By definition, it has to, you always lose energy through the steps. But from their website, if you ran it as a pump on a wind turbine when you didn't need full capacity from your wind turbines, you could "collect" energy as compressed air, and reroute it back through the pump to power the generator at peak demand times. Which we cannot easily store electricity, but we can store pressurized air.

  • The compressor feeding the air is likely using more power than the generator is making LOL

    Nice toy, but that's it.

  • It seems you can only find this running on compressed air. A standard tactic when the engine doesn't actually work but you want to make people think it does.

  • J'veux le voir fonctionner à combustion!

  • how much power does the engine produce ?

    And how much is the feasible energy that the alternator yields ?
