So ironic that this is making the rounds again. Dear Ken, could you please write a few paragraphs about your experiences trying to compress gas. Did you use a positive displacement pump to both suck on the producer and compress the gas?
Look Gang, I don't doubt the energy balance. Why I bother to stick my head up, is what Pete elaborated...I have excess solar that has to be dumped or excess wind. I run my gas compressor on excess power that would other wise be wasted. For now its the only method of recouping and using that excess. So don't flame me for a seemingly ignorant mistake. I have free producer fuel, free power to process, and free strorage. It can't hurt to proceed.

I heard about a guy in Idaho, I think, who was storing hydrogen in used B52 inner tubes. Imagine a flag pole with a dozen or so of these huge inner tubes thrown over it like donuts. All connected in parallel, I think. This guy was using excess wind electricity to make the hydrogen by electrolysis in, I guess, a home made H-tube. Not Brown's Gas. The hydrogen inflated the inner tubes, but I don't think there was any more pressure than that needed to make the inner tubes come to shape. When the hydrogen was needed, they piled bricks on top of the stack to produce the needed pressure. He said he only stored enough of the oxygen for occassional use in welding. An interesting guy. People flamed him for not using modern enough methods and for safety issues, so he purposely disappeared from the scene.
