A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

hi sebastian you are right except for the efficiency of solar panels. A 1000 watt array would produce 1000 watts of electricity. The 15 percent efficiency number refers to how much of the solar energy hitting the panel is converted to electricityso your true energy harvested would be 57.6 Watt hours of the original 1000 Watt hours using your other efficiency numbers...Sebastian Köln wrote:Every conversion means losses. They can be anywhere between 90% to 10%.
Here are my guesstimated efficiencies for your proposed setup:
Solar -> electricity: 15% (solar panels)
electrical -> mechanical 80% (motor)
mechanical -> pneumatic 30% (compressor)
pneumatic -> mechanical: 30% (turbine)
mechanical -> electrical: 80% (generator)
That makes a total of 0.15 * 0.8 * 0.3 * 0.3 * 0.8 = 0.00864 (0.8% efficiency). So for every 1000W of solar input, you get 8W out.
This is compared to just hooking up the solar panels to the battery (15% efficiency -> 150W output for 1000W solar input).
