What is squeezed air called?

compressed air


Why do clouds disappear with high air pressure?

In a high pressure system air sinks and is compressed. As the air is compressed it heats up, which can cause clouds to evaporate.


What would happen if all of Earths compressed air was released at once?

In short, not very much. Firstly, most compressed air is produced on an as-needed basis. Secondly, there is not very much compressed air in any one given location. Now, assuming you were to collect it all up and release it from the same point, it would release about 5% of the energy of a Category 1 Hurricane or winds of 33mph over a radius of 40 miles.


Do gas stations offer compressed air cans at inexpensive rates?

Gas stations that have a store usually sell compressed air cans for customers and some simple garages may have their preferred brand of compressed air for sale out of their own stock if you ask.


Do you have to be a certain age to buy compressed air or compressed gas?

It depends on the compressed gas you're trying to buy. If you want compressed air, they'll sell it to anyone. If you're trying to buy a hazardous gas like acetylene or carbon monoxide, you've probably got to be over 18.

Why is compressed air cold?

Compressed air leaves a cooling sensation because when on feels the air on his body part, there is some moisture content on the skin and when air strikes, it makes the moisture content to evaporate by absorbing the nearby heat from the skin thus making a cooling sensation.

How do jets achieve motion?

Jets achieve forward motion through the thrust produced by their engines. The jet engines pull air in, then this air is compressed and fuel is mixed and burned along with the compressed air, and the turbine extracts energy from the air and fuel mixture, and this energy is forced out through the rear of the engine.
