This piece of footage does not go into all the detail, but may be worth a look: http://www.test-tube.org.uk/videos/pages_seamus_explains_wind.htm A shorter explanation here: http://www.test-tube.org.uk/videos/pages_seamus_wind_eastmidlandstoday.htm _________________ Check out scientists doing their stuff http://www.test-tube.org.uk/ Back to top Bunbury Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2007 10:59 am    Post subject: Forum Ph.D. Joined: 26 Sep 2007 Posts: 835 Work done to compress the air must reduce the power output from the turbine. It looks like a good way to store some energy, but the total production would be less than a conventional turbine. Still, if output can be matched to demand it might be worth doing.
