Researchers in the United Arab Emirates have compared the performance of compressed air storage and lead-acid batteries in terms of energy stored per cubic meter, costs, and payback period. They found ...

There is a trend across the USA to mandate increasing amounts of energy to be derived from renewable resources. Electric utilities in California, for example, are required to have 33 percent of their ...

A Canadian company called Hydrostor has a new compressed-air energy storage system that it says is half the cost of grid-scale batteries and on par with adding a new natural gas plant to a grid. The ...

[Ed] from Ed’s Systems, aka [Aussie50] took some time to demo his high pressure Frankenstein air compressor he stitched together from two refrigeration compressors. The two Danfoss SC15 compressors ...

It's no longer news that the growing emphasis on sustainability is leading the charge for higher efficiency. When discussing energy use in manufacturing environments, the Big Three - water, ...

My love affair with compressed air started a number of years ago when I got an entry level oil-less air compressor for Christmas. Looking like a bloated red fire hydrant lying on its side, it made a ...

Study the physics, do the math, and a 40-gallon compressed air tank pressurized to 100 psi has the explosive power of a stick of dynamite. Depending on circumstances, that’s enough to blow all four ...
