Compressed-air is a versatile commodity for energy storage and automation. Compressed air is a vital part of pneumatic systems.
Storage in Caves
Natural caves and lava tubes are possible locations for compressed air storage. If the walls are lined with an impermiable membrane, the structure of the surrounding rock may be sufficient to contain the pressure. The entrances to the cave or tube are the only areas that need to be strengthened.
