Uh no... To put 70PSI through a 1/2" air line you need about 38 Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) of compressed air capacity (storage/compression). The video shows three feed lines of at least 1/2" going into that turbine, but they are more likely 3/4" lines (about 57CFM @ 70psi). 114 - 171CFM is a...

Indeed one must also consider the transmission losses of everything - just like the resistance of wire loss, air must be plumbed through pipes and tanks. Belts must go around sheaves, etc... If you were going to compress refrigerant with air pressure, a direct acting refrigerant pump would be...

In case I haven't mentioned before Peashooter - I really like your setup, including the custom generator mount and location. [thumbzup]

Typically one starts with the loads and works back to the point of generation. I'm presuming it's a 15/20 Amp type unit, so it would need an inverter or generator in the 4-7kW range (about the $400 mark for a cheap inverter). Figure that you get at most 85% efficiency,so you'd be drawing round...

An alternator puts out high frequency AC, which is rectified to DC by diodes, but there is still a ton of ripple (not "happy" for most electronics, like the inverter's input). Also, the field coil of the alternator needs something to pull power from to get the generation running - once going...

Still following, keep up the good work!! [thumbzup]
