I am saying using the air pressure to push a liquid out of a tank. The
fluid pressure will be the same as the air pressure above the liquid in the
tank.
fluid turbines have more power per pressure release ratio. something to do
with moving masss. The air pressure will be easier to obtain thru a
compressure but multiple tanks will have to be used
