He claims to be able to compress 200 cubic meters of air per minute (7060 CFM) to 20 bar (290 PSI) with 750 Kw (1000 hp). Only in the Unicorn World is this possible.
In our world, a water cooled two stage reciprocating air compressor needs 200 hp (150 Kw) to compress 1100 CFM to 100 PSI (6.9 bar). Most air compressors are less efficient than that. But if we use the most efficient air compressor, we would need 200 hp X 7060 / 1100 = 1280 hp to compress 7060 CFM to 100 PSI. Compressing to 290 PSI takes a lot more power than compressing to 100 PSI.
If somebody could build an air compressor capable of that performance, they could get stinking rich selling air compressors.
