The discussion centers on calculating the volume of air in a tank when compressed to a specific pressure. A 1 cubic foot air tank filled to 5000 PSI will contain approximately 50 cubic feet of air at 100 PSI, based on the principles of gas laws. The calculations utilize the ideal gas law, specifically the relationship between pressure and volume. This demonstrates the significant difference in air volume when compressed to high pressures.
