Now this I would like to see.

I always assumed (as have others) the only way to overcome the inefficiency within a compressed air system was scale.
For example, if one were to develop a large scale system in an ocean body of sufficient depth the act of compressing air using the depth of the ocean could potentially go above 80% eff because of the temperature difference going from the top of the water to the depth needed.
If one had a market near an ocean that required massive amounts of compressed air it could work but then the inefficiency of the motor side of things comes into play as well.
A model image might be a bit of a discussion piece.
