OverviewHistoryTypesCompressors and expandersStorageEnvironmental ImpactProjectsStorage thermodynamics
Citywide compressed air energy systems for delivering mechanical power directly via compressed air have been built since 1870. Cities such as Paris, France; Birmingham, England; Dresden, Rixdorf, and Offenbach, Germany; and Buenos Aires, Argentina, installed such systems. Victor Popp constructed the first systems to power clocks by sending a pulse of air every minute to change their pointer arms. They quickly evolved to deliver power to homes and industries. As o
