Thank you! That is a much better way to explain it.

I'll clarify a lot: This idea is for utilizing energy from already pressurized gas. It is not intended to create net energy but rather offset the energy used in pressurizing gas. Take propane for example, it has a volume 270 times that of it's container. So releasing it from a pressurized...

Am I essentially just reducing the volume of the balloon and using up that extra psi at an earlier point in the process?

Realistically, yes I can find that time with some sacrifices, and this is important to me so that's okay. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me about this.

I'm very glad to be able to talk to someone who's worked in academia about this. What is the feasibility of stretching out the education process? I'm very young and my job pays well enough so I'm not concerned with getting this done as soon as possible. If I could take just 2 classes a semester...

Hello, I have the opportunity to get an engineering degree for free from my job, something I never expected to have. It's something I dearly want to pursue, and I'm not afraid of working through all the math and whatever else is in the way. What worries me is I see many people saying this is...

But what is the cord setup doing to the energy produced by the air escaping? Does it lose anything from the cord?

Hello! I've come across this forum looking for an answer to an odd question related to energy production. I have no intention of creating infinite energy so don't worry. Imagine a very strong balloon with a cord wrapped tightly around it. The balloon expands pulling the cord which spins a...
