Assuming this number is true, it needs more clarification. 4% efficiency in what sense? 4% of the potential in the compressed air is converted to kinetic in a moving cylinder? 4% of the electric potential to run the compressor is converted to potential stored in the tanks? 4% of the electric potential to run the compressor is converted to kinetic in a moving cylinder?
