I'm sure you could, if you really wanted to. You could drive a small turbine or windmill blade with the compressed air and couple that to an electrical generator.
The downfall would be the practicality. You would be using a compressor to produce the 'energy' needed for this process in the form of compressed air.
Any time you use an energy source that takes energy to create, you lose efficiency in the long run. Why generate power with compressed air which took electricity (or gasoline) to create? Just do it with a gas-burning electric generator or the existing electricity for the compressor.
In order to be most viable and economical, the process must use energy that doesn't require additional energy to create. In other words, it must be natural energy in the form of sun, heat, wind, gravity (hydro plants), etc.

Which object can be most compressed and why?
Gas can be compressed easily because of space between them is big so then when compressed,the space between them get smaller. Liquid can be compressed but you can only compress it slightly since the particles are already touching Solid can't be compressed since their locked into place.
How will you show that gases can be compressed while liquids and solids cannot be compressed?

Could carbon be compressed?
Yes, carbon can be compressed under high pressure to form different allotropes such as diamond. Diamond is a crystalline form of carbon that is the result of carbon being compressed at extreme pressures and temperatures deep within the Earth's mantle.
What phases are able to be compressed?
The phases that can be compressed are typically the gaseous and vaporous phases of matter. Liquids and solids generally cannot be compressed as easily due to their closely packed molecules.
Which fuels are less polluting?
CNG(compressed natural gas) bio gas
What are piezoresistive sensing elements and what is their principle of operation?
Piezoresistive elements can be ceramic or plastic. They generate electricity when compressed.
What has to happen to the raw materials before it can be used to generate electricity?
It must be burnt and then compressed to get all of the useful energy out. Then the energy let out is measured in joules and used for electricity.
What is the difference between compressed air tools and battery tools?
In a compressed air tool the driving force is air pressure. While in battery tools the electricity from the battery is converted to electromagnetic force to drive it.
How is compressed water used in industrial applications?
Compressed water is used in industrial applications for cutting, cleaning, and processing materials. It is a powerful tool that can be used to remove debris, cut through tough materials, and even generate electricity. The high pressure of compressed water allows for precise and efficient work in various industries such as manufacturing, construction, and mining.
Storage technologies for storing energy?
It depends on what energy you are referring to. If it is electrical then there are few things that can store utility level electricity in its form. Typically utility level electricity would be converted into mechanical energy or converted into chemical energy. For example a wind power generation facility would store energy by creating compressed air and storing the compressed air in an abandoned salt mine. When the wind is not blowing strongly to produce electricity the compressed air is released to spin another power generation turbine. A chemical power storage solution would involve using the electricity created to make hydrogen. The hydrogen could be stored and used later for power generation. http://www.energybulletin.net/node/11252
What fuels fuel cell cars?
Fuel cells in vehicles create electricity to power an electric motor, generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen.
What are fuel-cell cars powered by?
Fuel cells in vehicles create electricity to power an electric motor, generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen.
What energy is used to keep a machine moving?
When it come to machine, it can be run on various energy source. Industrial machine usually run on electricity but some would run on compressed air and use electricity for fine control of compressed air. Some heavy industrial machine like driller might run on gasoline. Some pump might as well designed to run on steam pressure and compressed air. I believe there is no limit to what energy source it could be use to power, just what energy source would be convenience and fit to the task.
What are three types of fuel used to run power tools?
"Fuel" is a strange way to put it, but: Unleaded Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, 110 and 220 electricity, and compressed air.
Can steam can be compressed?
ues it can be compressed
