I have seen that article some time ago allready, but only today took the time to read it in full.

I was hoping for something like "buy a few low-cost, standard components and easily try it out for yourselfe", but that's not in there.

What made me search for and read the article today was that #LIDL currently has a #aircompressor (with a 24 l pressur tank) for sale at 99 €.
That's something I could afford with my current "gadget"-budget.

I also do have surplus electrical energy from my PV-system at home, at least on sunny summer-days at peak-sun (due to 60 %-cut on feeding into the electrical-grid).

Now I only would need a component that takes in (compressed) air and puts out eletrical energy (12v), e.g. to charge a phone oder light some LEDs.

#AskAFriend were could I get such a component, or how is it even called?!

I'd says it's a "12v electrical generator, powerd by compressed air",

but if I search for that or "generator compressed air" I only get results the other way round: Machines taking in electricity and putting out air - just what I can buy from Lidl.

Its an old toot ⬆️ , but I would still be interested in that:

“Now I only would need a component that takes in (compressed) air and puts out eletrical energy (12v), e.g. to charge a phone oder light some LEDs. “

Any ideas what I could buy?

( I do not want to build/make/fiddle, I just want to buy. )
