In Reply to: Compressed Air Powered Air Compressor...Confused posted by in-too-deep on February 23, 2007 at 14:10:03:
A while back, there was a discussion of a air compressor used to provide power for mining operations. Essentially, the compressor captured air dissolved in water falling over a dam. Water fell into a underground chamber, and air collected in the upper part of the chamber. It was then piped to the various mining operations. Since it was quite a fall, the water back-pressure provided a fair amount of air pressure. If we had something like that, air powered vehicles might be a possibility. However, did you ever see the steam powered switch engines they used in railyards? Had an absolutely huge steam tank, and had to be refilled regularly from the stationary steam boiler system. Not terribly efficient! Suspect that air powered would have the same shortcoming.
