Storing energy with #compressedair is about to have its moment of truth
Toronto-based #Hydrostor Inc. is one of the businesses developing long-duration energy storage that has moved beyond lab scale and is now focusing on building big things. The company makes systems that store energy #underground in the form of compressed air, which can be released to produce electricity for eight hours or longer.
Technology will be used to store wind and #solar energy for use later.

I had not heard of Tesla's blade-less #turbine #design. This is fascinating. And if this guy's test is accurate - achieving 4200W from 40psi of compressed air, then it puts #CompressedAir as a simple, low cost #storage medium to replace expensive short life #batteries for off-grid #Solar energy storage & recovery within reach.

Does anyone know a #sustainable perma solution for storing #solar energy when the sun isn't shining? Using LiFePO batteries isn't sustainable…

Maybe #CompressedAir #EnergyStorage could work...?

Its an old toot ⬆️ , but I would still be interested in that:

“Now I only would need a component that takes in (compressed) air and puts out eletrical energy (12v), e.g. to charge a phone oder light some LEDs. “

Any ideas what I could buy?

( I do not want to build/make/fiddle, I just want to buy. )
