Yes. In fact it was for a short time on the Gemini missions. The astronauts had a small, hand held, compressed air tank with nozzles they could use to maneuver in space.
No. Magnetic compasses work based on the Earth's mantic field, in space there is no magnetic field for the compasses to work with. A different system, possibly similar to Global Positioning System (GPS) might work, call it the Universal Positioning System. On certain rocky planets it could work, but some planets don't have a magnetic field, like Mars. So a traditional magnetic compass wouldn't work in space, or at least it won't get you where you want to go.
Yes, space bags are designed to compress and compact items for storage by removing excess air. They can be effective in reducing the volume of bulky items like clothing, bedding, and other soft materials. However, the effectiveness of space bags can vary depending on the items being compressed and how well they are sealed.
Space elevator refers to a type of space transportation system which is proposed by many scientists and inventors. Its main component is a ribbon-like cable also called "tether" which is anchored to the surface and extending into the space.
The space shuttle system is made up of three main components: the orbiter, the external tank, and the solid rocket boosters. These components work together to launch and maneuver the shuttle in space.
The main parts of a rocket ship that allow it to work in outer space include the propulsion system (engines), guidance system (to navigate in space), structural components (to withstand the forces of launch and flight), and life support systems (to sustain astronauts in space). Additionally, a rocket ship will typically have fuel tanks, rocket stages (for multi-stage rockets), and communication systems to stay in contact with mission control.
Heating that results from work done on the system, such as when a gas is compressed within a piston.
Refrigerant in a cooling system absorbs heat from the air inside a space, turning from a liquid to a gas. The gas is then compressed, which increases its temperature and pressure. As the gas flows through the system, it releases the heat outside, turning back into a liquid. This cycle repeats, continuously removing heat from the indoor air and keeping the space cool.
An anhydrous ammonia refrigeration system works by circulating ammonia gas through a closed loop system of pipes. The ammonia gas is compressed into a liquid state, which absorbs heat from the environment as it evaporates back into a gas. This process cools the space or equipment it is designed to refrigerate.
it works with compressed air
A pneumatic system is based on the physical property of compressed air or gas being used to transmit force or energy. The system uses the compressed air to generate motion, control mechanisms, or perform work in various industrial and commercial applications.
A 1920s refrigerator typically operated using a compressor that circulated a refrigerant through a system of coils. The refrigerant absorbed heat from inside the refrigerator, cooling the interior space. The compressor then compressed the refrigerant, raising its temperature and releasing the absorbed heat outside the refrigerator.
The substance will be compressed (increase in density) and if the compression is adiabatic, the temperature will go up since there is work being done on the system.

Pneumatic machines are machines powered by compressed air. Air is compressed by a pump called a compressor, and the pressure is released as it does work, pushing on the pneumatic motors or pistons.
Compressed air cooling works by using compressed air to remove heat from a system or component. The compressed air expands rapidly, which causes it to cool down. This cooled air is then used to lower the temperature of the object or area being cooled. Applications of compressed air cooling include cooling electronic components, machinery, and industrial processes. It is also used in air conditioning systems, refrigeration units, and in cooling systems for vehicles and equipment.
