[0013] It is another objective of the invention to provide a portable pressure conversion generator and storage system for storing renewable, energy sources as well as pneumatic energy generated by renewable energy sources that includes a gas compressor motor, a pressure regulator, and a gas storage chamber configured to received and store compressed air from the gas compressor, and a plurality of hoses connected to the gas storage chamber. A housing is included having an inner section, a first outer section, and a second outer section, the housing being connected to the plurality of hoses and including a first pneumatic piston within the housing and a second pneumatic piston within the housing and opposing the first piston, a first drive bar connected to the first piston, a second drive bar connected to the second piston, and a plurality of linear generators configured such that motion of the first piston and the second piston will cause the respective first drive bar and second drive bar to move along at least some of the plurality of linear generators, and wherein the first drive bar has a first end and a second end and the second drive bar has a third end and a fourth end.

When the compressed air from the gas storage chamber is released into the pressure regulator which then releases pressure into the inner section of the housing, the first piston and the second piston are propelled outwardly, thereby displacing the first drive bar and the second drive bar along at least some of the plurality of linear generators to produce electrical energy and when the compressed air from the gas storage chamber is released into the pressure regulator which then releases pressure into the first outer section and the second outer section of the housing, the first piston and the second piston move inwardly, thereby displacing the first drive bar and the second drive bar along at least some of the plurality of linear generators to produce electrical energy, and wherein the pulley system is configured to reduce an amount of compressed air required to propel the first piston and second piston outwardly and required to propel the first piston and second piston inwardly.

[0015] Additionally or alternatively, further including a water filtration system connected to the gas storage tank and configured to collect and filter moisture extracted fiom compressed air.

Additionally or alternatively, as exhaust pressure from the pistons is released out of the piston housing and into the relay, the exhaust pressure is then released into a third pressure regulator and is then released back into the gas storage chamber, where pressure builds with the assistance of an adjustable release valve that is connected to one of the ports of the gas storage chamber, wherein the adjustable release valve can be adjusted to release excess pressure outside its adjusted pressure setting, wherein the port of the adjustable release valve will manually open to release excess pressure buildup in the gas storage chamber, wherein the pressure sensor of the compressor motor will lead the compressor motor to deactivate while the excess pressure from the exhaust pressure being released into the gas storage chamber continues. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system never decreases. Such systems spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium, the state with maximum entropy. Non-isolated systems may lose entropy, provided their environment's entropy increases at least that amount so that the total entropy increases. According to the second law of thermodynamics, if an isolated system contains a compressible gas and is reduced in volume, the uncertainty of the position of the gas is reduced, and seemingly would reduce the entropy of the system, but the temperature of the system will rise as the process is isentropic or remains constant. As compressed gas in leaving the gas storage chamber in order to do work with the pistons, the volume of gas is reduced, therefore the amount of entropy in the gas storage chamber is reduced at first. Due to manually recycling the exhaust pressure back into the tank at a faster and high volume pace than the pressure output provided by the adjustable release valve by using an innovative insulation design involving single-direction checker valves and an adjustable release valve that does not allow stored pressure to be leaked or exhausted out until a designated pressure is reached, exhaust pressure is being constantly recycled back into the tank, thereby increasing the volume of compressible gas since there is no escaping of pressure due to the insulation design. The certainty of the position of the gas is increased, and seemingly would increase the entropy of the isolated system or gas storage chamber. In summation, the compressible gas storage chamber of our microgrid may lose entropy at first when the volume of stored gas is reduced, but then the environment's entropy is increased by at least that amount that was reduced so that the total entropy increases. Once the total entropy is reached in the gas storage chamber, entropy remains constant as the adjustable release valve releases pressure, outside of the isolated system just the right amount of steady-flow pressure out of the system and back into the atmosphere at a slower pace than the exhaust pressure being inputted, thereby promoting the isentropic process. In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is one that occurs without transfer of heat or mass of substance between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings. Such a system is said to be adiabatically isolated. In an adiabatic process, energy is transferred to the surroundings only as work. For example, the compression of a gas within a cylinder of an engine is assumed to occur so rapidly that on the time scale of the compression process, little of the system’s energy can be transferred out as heat to the surroundings. Even though the cylinders are not insulated and are quite conductive, that process is idealized to be adiabatic. The same can be said to be true for the expansion process of such a system; therefore, the term“adiabatic approximation”, means that there is not enough time for the transfer of energy as heat to take place to or from the system. The assumption of adiabatic isolation of a system is a useful one and is often combined with others so as to make the calculation of a system’s behavior possible. Such assumptions are idealizations. Compressible gas systems are adiabatic, where no energy (heat) is transferred to or from the gas during the compression, and all supplied work is added to the internal energy of the gas, resulting in increases of temperature and pressure. Adiabatic compression or expansion more closely model real life when a compressor has good insulation, a large gas volume, or a short time scale (i.e. a high-power level). In practice, there will always be a certain amount of heat flow out of the compressed gas. Thus, making a perfect adiabatic compressor would require perfect heat insulation of all parts of the machine. If the system has rigid walls (storage tank) such that work (pressure) cannot be transferred in or out (singledirection checker valves and adjustable pressure-release valve adjusted to release pressure only in excess of 125 psi and trap pressure under 125 psi), and the walls of the system are not adiabatic and energy is added in the form of heat or friction, and there is no phase change, the temperature of the system will rise.

[0016] Additionally or alternatively, the system will include a series of pressure regulators. A pressure regulator will be positioned between the compressor motor and gas storage chamber, the gas storage chamber and the pistons, and the relay and the gas storage chamber.

[0017] Additionally or alternatively, it is another objective provide various types of relays - manually-activated, motion sensor-activated, and timer-activated - that will work with relay switches when a manually-activated relay is adopted. As an alternative to using relay controllers, relay or control module can utilize motion detection sensor switches or can use a pneumatic timing release relay or control module to switch the directional flow of compressed gas on a timer or sequential manner towards one pair of centered pneumatics pistons without the usage of automatic or manual action controllers that rely on kinetic force applications from interconnecting magnet encasements. Located at each distal end, motion detection sensor switches select a region of the drive bar to monitor movement using an emitted light to compare sequential images, changes or interruption in light pattern. If enough light changes between those frames, the software determines that movement occurred and sends the relay an alert to trigger motion of the pneumatic pistons by sending a command to the relay to release gas as pressure into targeted air hoses.

[0018] Additionally or alternatively, further including a plurality of valves on the housing, wherein a subset of the plurality of valves is designed and configured to allow compressed air into the housing while the pistons are moving outwardly and to allow air to be released while the pistons are moving inwardly.

[0019] Additionally or alternatively, it is another objective to provide a portable pressure conversion generator and storage system for generating and storing various forms of energies not only generated by renewable energy sources that are released into the system and end users but also electrical energy generated by the series of linear generators as well as storable, pneumatic-based, high density energy that results from a compressor motor converting air or ambient gas into storable thermal energy when stored within a gas storage chamber configured to received and store compressed air from the gas compressor, and a plurality of hoses connected to the gas storage chamber. A housing is included that has an inner section, a first outer section, and a second outer section, the housing being connected to the plurality of hoses and including a first pneumatic piston within the housing and a second pneumatic piston within the housing and opposing the first piston, a first drive bar connected to the first piston, a second drive bar connected to the second piston, and a plurality of linear generators configured such that motion of the first piston and the second piston will cause the respective first drive bar and second drive bar to move along at least some of the plurality of linear generators. When the compressed air from the gas storage chamber is released into the inner section of the housing, the first piston and the second piston are propelled outwardly, thereby displacing the first drive bar and the second drive bar along at least some of the plurality of linear generators to produce electrical energy and when the compressed air from the gas storage chamber is released into the first outer section and the second outer section of the housing, the first piston and the second piston move inwardly, thereby displacing the first drive bar and the second drive bar along at least some of the plurality of linear generators to produce electrical energy.

[0020] Additionally or alternatively, the system will include a plural of voltage regulators. A voltage regulator will be positioned between the renewable input and end user and another voltage regular will be positioned between the linear generators and end user.

[0021] Additionally or alternatively, the system has an activator, namely an activation switch or power-on button or feature to start it up and shut it down, that is powered by the renewable energy source initially and eventually the linear generators.

[0022] Additionally or alternatively, the system can include an optional first battery coupled to an activator or power-on button and coupled to an energy resource or a first voltage regulator that is coupled to one or more energy sources, a gas compressor motor connected to the activator or power- on button, the voltage regulator leading to first battery and a first pressure regulator leading to the gas storage chamber, wherein the gas compressor motor inputs compressed air into pressure regulator which inputs compressed air into the gas storage chamber, and a plurality of hoses connected to the gas storage chamber.

This microgrid system can be used, for example, as a reliable electricity source in areas with an unreliable electrical grid, and it can provide water when there is a shortage of potable water during an emergency. Adopting renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower and other methodologies to produce electricity, the microgrid system is a multiplier system in that a plurality of linear generators will be triggered simultaneously to transmit current or electricity to end users individually or collectively.

[0053] FIGS. 5A-5E depict views of various types of linear generators 260 (e.g., 260a-260b) that may be used to compile series of linear generators 210. For example, magnetic induction generators 210 generate electrical energy by converting linear motion of interconnecting magnet encasement206. Each generator 260 includes an induction coll 262 and a magnet 264. Springs 266, 267 may also be included as well as metal bar 268. Magnet 264 is designed and configured to move back and forth inside of an induction coil 262. Each magnet 264 magnetizes a metal bar 268 that works with a first spring 266 to reset metal bar 268 back to its original position and reciprocate the kinetic energy. Magnets can be separated by a magnetic shielding divider or wall from the interconnecting magnet encasement of the drive bar 206 to prevent, magnetic interference. Generator 260 can include an optional second spring 267 to assist in reciprocating the weight of the combined magnet and metal bar. The first spring 266 is located on a side of the magnet 264 opposite of second spring 267. First spring 266 connects magnet 264 to one end of housing 202 such that magnet 264 can travel back and forth within induction coil 262. Second spring 267 extends away from the adjacent end of housing 202. In this manner, either magnet 264 or first spring 266 may interact directly with drive bar 206.

[0054] In FIGS. 6A-6B, a piezoelectric housing 272 is shown that includes slots 274 (e.g.,

274a- 274c) configured to house linear generators and sleeves 276 (e.g., 276a-276c) for holding relay controllers as well as additional distal end pistons.

[0055] FIG. 7 is a side view of housing 202 showing an arrangement of drive bars 206, central pistons 204a-f, including distal end pistons 204e and 204f, and generators 260. In this configuration, generators are positioned under the piston system as well such that those generators are triggered by the drive bars during retraction, thereby increasing system efficiency.

[0056] An application of the present invention is shown in FIG. 8, in which an automobile 300 is outfitted with a charging cord 301, an auxiliary power source 330, a rectifier and inverter 340, a control module 320, a compressed air storage chamber 314, a gas compressor 316, a battery 324, and linear generators 310.

[0057] FIG.9 shows a water filter system 400 that includes a port 404 that can be connected to the compressed air storage tank and a housing 408 that contains various filtration media such as layers of gravel 409, sand 410, charcoal 411 and a cheesecloth or coffee filter 412. Filtered water 415 then exits through outlet port 414.

[0058] FIG 10 shows the configuration of the drive bar 206 with multiple sleeves that includes an arrangement of multiple sleeves for the central pistons 204a-e, an arrangement of multiple armatures and sleeves 206q-t for the distal end pistons 204f-i, and an arrangement of multiple sleeves 206k-p for the generators 260. This illustration of the drive bar 206 in the bousing 202 is to show that the configuration of the drive bar 206 can include sleeves that show the magnets 264 of each generator 260 encased within sleeves of the drive bar 206 in an interconnected, unison manner, instead of a drive bar 206 that is separate from the generators 260 and applies force to the generators 260 with the pistons system, in order to be accordance with the an embodiment of a push/pull piston system of the present invention that will push/pull generators 260 in unison with the piston system.

[0059] Additionally or alternatively, FIG 11 shows the optional configuration of the microgrid system 100 including battery 1 108 and battery 2 144, in addition to batteries. At a high level, and as outlined in FIG. 11, a combined renewable energy and compressed gas energy storage and generation microgrid system 100 includes at least one energy source 104, which is preferably a renewable energy source, a first battery 108, a second battery 144, first voltage regulator 164a, second voltage regulator 164b, a compressor motor 112, a first pressure regulator 114a, a second pressure regulator 114b, a third pressure regulator 114c, a gas storage chamber or tank 1 16, an adjustable pressure release valve 122, a water collection and filtration system 120, a relay, a 124, a first control connector 126a, a second control connector 126b, a piston system 128, an activator switch or power button 130, a pulley system 132, a drive bar system 136, motion-to-electrical generators 140, a rectifier 148, and an inverter 152. Other components may include, a mode switch 160, and a relay switch 162.

[0060] Additionally or alternatively, at a high level, FIG 12 shows battery 1 108 directly connected to a compressor motor 1 12 and battery 2 144. A combined renewable energy and compressed gas energy storage and generation microgrid system 100 includes at least one energy source 104, which is preferably a renewable energy source, a first battery 108, a compressor motor 1 12, a gas storage tank 1 16, a water collection and filtration system 120, a relay 124, a piston system 128, a pulley system 132, a drive bar system 136, motion-to-electrical generators 140, a second battery 144, a rectifier 148, and an inverter 152. Other components may include a transfer control 154, a wireless charging transmitter 156, a wireless charging receiver 158, a mode switch 160, and a relay switch 162.

[0061] In operation, a reciprocating drive bar works in conjunction with a pulley system to transfer kinetic energy to piezoelectric components, which in turn store the transferred energy electrically. The air or other gas is initially compressed by a motor driven by one or more energy sources, which may include renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, or hydroelectric, or other sources of electrical energy, via directly from an auxiliary energy source or an optional first battery. This stored compressed air can then be used to generate, via pneumatic pistons in conjunction with piezoelectric generators, high density electrical energy. The high-density electrical energy can be used or transferred back into the system when excess electricity is needed and to work with electrical energy from renewable energy source to run operations and to provide electricity directly to the end user.

[0062] Alternatively, in operation, the air or other gas is initially compressed by a motor driven by one or more energy sources, which may include renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, or hydroelectric, or other sources of electrical energy, via a first battery.

[0063] Electrical energy deriving from linear or piezoelectric generators can be stored in a second battery for later use. The second battery, in turn, interconnects with first battery and renewable energy sources to allow for bidirectional flow for electrical balancing so that multiple sources of electricity may be utilized efficiently depending on current production. [0064] In an exemplary embodiment, a compressed gas energy storage system includes a housing with a plurality of traversing drive bars that serve to transfer the kinetic energy from the compressed gas to piezoelectric components. The housing is preferably hollow and includes distal ends that interconnect using side rails and includes open space in between distal ends.

[0065] Each distal end includes multiple sleeves to house piezoelectric components as well as multiple linear generator sleeves that house linear alternators or generators, distal end pistons, and relay controllers. The sleeves extend lengthwise along distal ends. The drive bar is interconnected with a piston rod of pneumatic pistons that are centered in open space between the distal ends of housing. The drive bar engages linear generators and traverses back and forth between distal ends. A pulley system and/or a spring system works in unison with piston rod to traverse, drive bars in opposing directions, where one end of pulley cord is attached to drive bar located at one distal end while the other end of pulley cord is attached to another drive bar located at an opposing distal end. Pulley cord will traverse around a pulley wheel thereby reducing the pneumatic energy required to push pistons through open space approximately in half.

[0066] The pulley system includes at least a pair of pulley wheels and cords and is designed to work in conjunction with the pressurized air to assist in the motion of pneumatic pistons. On one side, a first end of pulley cord is attached to drive bar near one end of drive bar while a second, opposite end of pulley cord is attached to another drive bar on an end opposite the end of drive bar where the first end of pulley is attached. On the other side, a first end of second pulley cord is attached to drive bar near where the second end of the pulley cord is attached while a second, opposite end of the pulley cord is attached to the drive bar near where the first end of the pulley is attached. This arrangement facilitates the push-pull traversing motion of the. pistons when the gas source is applied os pressure, enabling the cord to traverse around the pulley wheel to reduce the volume of compressed gas required to traverse the pistons. Preferably, the reduction may be by as much as half or more, depending on the number of pulley systems incorporated or applied.

[0067] One end of the pulley cord is attached to one distal end drive bar, while the other end of the cord is attached to the opposing distal end drive bar. As the cord is pulled by one distal end drive bar, the pressure or pound per square inch necessary for traversing the drive bar by the pistons is divided in half or more by the wheel or rim width of the pulley wheel as the cord traverses around the pulley wheel. This reduces the force required, or volume of gas or pressure needed, to push the linear generators down by half or more. This is due to the fact that, as gas forces the piston to expand in one specific direction, the pulley cord is pulled in that direction by that distal end drive bar, while the other end of the pulley cord that is attached to the opposing drive bar is simultaneously being pulled in the opposite direction by gas or pressure output as well. The volume of pressure required to push the linear generators without a pulley system would be substantially greater. For example, 10 pounds per square inch may be needed in a system without a pulley system, while the incorporation of a pulley system can reduce the volume of pressure required to push the linear generators in half or more, to 5 pounds per square inch. This conserves pressure discharge, which will allow the gas source to be used more efficaciously.

[0068] The housing also includes a plurality of linear generators at each of the distal ends positioned in housing sleeves. Linear generators draw kinetic energy from the drive bar when in contact therewith. As the drive bar traverses back and forth between distal ends, via the pulley cord and pulley wheel with a shaft in its center to position it between the columns, kinetic energy is transferred to the linear or magnetic induction generators. Since the piston rods and hence drive bat- are driven by compressed air, the energy stored in the compressed air is converted into stored electrical energy. In particular, the drive bar applies kinetic force when in communication with linear or magnetic induction generator; upon contact with the linear or magnetic induction generator, the kinetic force therein is transferred to the piezoelectric components (i.e., relay controllers and linear or magnetic induction generators) positioned in the housing sleeves. In this way, the plurality of magnetic induction generators produces electricity, which is transferred to the second electrical energy storage unit.

[0069] The pneumatic pistons, positioned between distal ends, work in unison with distal end pneumatic pistons positioned next to the generators to work in unison with interconnected piston rods. A pulley drive system including a pulley cord, pulley wheel and wheel shaft pull drive bar in opposing directions so that, the drive bar can apply applicable force to traverse each drive bar back and forth in opposing directions in a push-pull manner along the inside of housing. The centered double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic pistons as well as the distal end pistons comprise of a plurality of piston rods that can traverse In opposing directions when pressure is introduced into their areas. Optionally, a spring may be coupled with an internal piston. Regulated by relay controllers that send a command to a relay or control module that regulates the directional flow of gas into a gas storage chamber, which supplies compressed gas to all of the pistons via compressed air hoses, As an alternative to using relay controllers, relay or control module can utilize motion detection sensor switches or can use a pneumatic timing release relay or control module to switch the directional flow of compressed gas on a timer or sequential manner towards one pair of centered pneumatics pistons without the usage of automatic or manual action controllers that rely on kinetic force applications from drive bars. Located at each distal end, motion detection sensor switches select a region of the drive bar to monitor movement using an emitted light to compare sequential images, changes or interruption in light pattern. If enough light changes between those frames, the software determines that movement occurred and sends the relay an alert to trigger motion of the pneumatic pistons by sending a command to the relay to release gas as pressure into targeted air hoses. Pneumatic timing release relay or control module releases gas as pressure to air hoses in a sequence based on timing action that is halted by removing voltage from the coil. When voltage is applied to the coil, the contacts energize and de-energize alternatively, making on and off cycle timing lengths adjustable so the time release can reoccur or happen again. Air hoses interconnect relay or control modules with a pressure regulator that interconnects with valves of pneumatic piston and its internal piston or chambers as air hoses work as both gas admittance and simultaneously gas release units. Air hoses direct pressure controlled by the relay to pressure regulators that then direct pressure to enter one side of piston and release pressure using air hoses direct the released pressure to a release valve interconnected with the relay or control module.

[0070] The adjustable pressure release valve release valve is adjustable and serves to lock gas within the tank until a desired pressure is reached, such as 120 psi. If the desired pressure is set to 120 psi, then the system will be closed and pressure will buildup in gas storage chamber until 120 psi is reached, at which point release valve will release any excess flow. This arrangement allows the system to avoid unnecessarily draining the operational battery by leaking air at lower pressures while it also allows the system to work with a constant pressure for operating the pistons while renewable energy is available. [0071] The gas storage, chamber is supplied with compressed gas from a compressed gas source and stores it as pressure (heat). Moisture from a gas source builds up over time within the compressed gas storage chamber as the high ratio of gas within the volume of the compression chamber heats up during compression, releasing moisture, and likewise cools down during expansion. A water filtration unit, which can consist of a rectangular, bottleneck housing with filtration layers like gravel, sand, charcoal, and a cheesecloth or coffee filter to filter water contaminants, may be included and can interconnect with an intake/outtake port of the gas storage chamber. In this way, moisture from the compressed air can be directed into water filtration system so that filtered water may be collected.

[0072] Linear or magnetic induction generators produce electricity by absorbing kinetic pressure from a drive bar; wherein the kinetic pressure is transferred into movement of a magnet back and forth inside of an induction coil. Each magnet magnetizes a metal bar that works with a first spring to reset the metal bar back to its original position and reciprocate the kinetic pressure. Magnets can be separated by magnetic shielding divider or wall to prevent magnetic interference. The generator can include an optional second spring if necessary, to assist in reciprocating the weight of the combined magnet and metal bar. The first spring is located on a side of the magnet opposite of the optional second spring. The first spring connects the magnet to the distal end of the barrel housing such that the magnet can travel back and forth within the induction coil. The optional second spring extends away from the adjacent distal end of the housing, The magnet or first spring is responsible for hitting against the drive shaft or bridge bar. It shall be noted that the magnet produces electricity as it traverses back and forth inside the induction coil.

[0073] The movement of the magnet back and forth within the induction coil is accomplished by virtue of the first spring and the optional second spring in communication between the drive bar and the distal end of the housing. It shall be noted that as the drive bar traverses back and forth inside of the housing, the housing of the drive bar applies kinetic pressure to the first spring to extend and retract, which causes the magnet to magnetize the metal bar to move back and forth inside of the induction coil thereby producing electricity each time the housing of the drive shaft bar traverses to each distal end. The AC electricity that is produced by the linear or magnetic induction generators are converted to directed to end users and back into the system to support systemic operations.

[0074] Alternatively, a transfer control can be connected to battery 2, auxiliary energy source and linear generators and used to switch between stored AC, direct AC and direct DC output when stored AC is not presently optional.

[0075] Linear or magnetic induction generators can be aligned in an array (e.g., rows and columns) to trigger each other within their respective stationary sleeves, where distal end of housing includes a plurality of linear generators that can also be aligned in an array at the rear of the prior row of linear generator-based distal end sleeve of housing. A rear stem or metal bar of linear generators are elongated as a result of kinetic force applied to push down metal bar of linear generator. Rear stems or metal bars can rest on a secondary drive bar performing as a magnetic divider that rest on magnets of a secondary row of magnetic induction generators so applied kinetic force is transferred from the first row of linear generators to the second row of magnetic induction generators and any other rows of linear generators following thereafter. A singular pneumatic pressure input source can allow an array or series of linear or magnetic induction generators to be influenced or triggered to simultaneously produce an electric current discharge or discharged electric current per spring reciprocating cycle.

[0076] One of the system’s produced electrical energy source is from a renewable energy source that is regulated by a voltage regulator to supply energy to end user's and to run systemic operations, namely activator, pressure regulators, relay, relay switch, compressor motor and mode switch. In addition or alternatively, another electrical or renewable energy source is from the plurality of linear generators triggered by storable thermal energy from the gas storage chamber that will produce high density electrical energy, is regulated by a voltage regulator for end user access, and is directed back into the system to be coupled with the electrical support from the renewable input to provide electrical support to run systemic operations when the system, namely activator, pressure regulators, relay, relay switch, compressor motor and mode switch, needs excess electricity. Electricity produced by the renewable auxiliary energy source and magnetic induction generators can be transferred by a wire to supply electricity to second electrical energy storage unit and then an inverter for supplying electricity to end users. Renewable auxiliary energy source or optional first electrical energy storage unit or battery 1 stores energy from a portable auxiliary one or more external power sources, such as a renewable energy source or other source of electric supply, which may be portable, are adopted to supply power to the on-demand motor of the compressed gas source. A compressor motor is used for facilitating the compression of air or ambient gas.

[0077] The gas from stored gas source within the gas storage tank is transferred as storable thermal energy, pressure, pressurized gas or heat. Air hoses using input and discharge valves to and from gas storage chamber transfers the compressed gas as pressure (heat) to the pressure regulator, which then directs pressure to the piston diaphragm of the pneumatic pistons. Double-sided, dualacting pneumatic pistons located at the center of the housing, as well as distal end pistons, include a plurality of piston rods that traverse in opposing directions when pressure is introduced into their areas and can include a spring coupled with a piston. Pneumatic pistons are positioned at the center of distal ends of housing as a drive assembly to enable the mechanical motion of piston rods as air hoses connect to input and discharge valves of pneumatic pistons. Pneumatic pistons can also positioned at each distal end of the housing, adjacent to the linear generators and opposing the centered pneumatic pistons.

[0078] An adjustable pressure release valve may be included on the compressed air tank. The adjustable release valve will dose the pressure exhaust valve of the compressor tank in order to trap stored thermal energy and reopen its exhaust valve when to release heat in excess of its designated release setting. In other words, the adjustable release valve will open the pressure exhaust valve to release excess pressure after specified pressure designation is reached.

[0079] The adjustable release valve that is connected to the compressor tank will work with air hoses that are connected to the relay exhausts, in which, during Air-to-Electricity Mode, the exhaust pressure from the pistons will be directed through the relay exhausts and back into the compressor tank in order to continue, the buildup of pressurized heat or gas, which is an alternative to the compressor motor operating to convert ambient gas into pressurized heat or gas, which would have the exhaust pressure being channeled out the system through the relay exhaust.

[0080] The addition of a single-direction valve connector will work with air hoses positioned between the relay pressure exhaust and the compressor gas tank. This single-direction air hose will channel exhaust pressure back into the tank to build pressure in the tank using a pressure recycling process.

[0081] The microgrid can be automated or manually activated. It has a dual mode that can be switched back and forth. The dual mode microgrid setting can switch between two modes: Air-to- Electricity Mode and Air-to-Water Mode. A dual mode converter switch - manual, CPU attachment or other - may be used to convert the microgrid from Air-to-Water Mode to Air-to-Electricity Mode.

[0082] In Air-to-Water Mode, a secondary configuration or mode of our microgrid, exhaust pressure is released through the relay exhaust. A dual mode converter switch can extend or retract a retractable single-direction air hose to an interconnecting port of the gas tank. Extending the retractable single-direction air hose to an interconnecting port of the gas tank allows the exhaust pressure to be recycled instead of being released back into the atmosphere in Air-to-Electricity Mode. Retracting the extendable single- direction air hose from an interconnecting port of the gas tank allows the exhaust pressure to channel through the relay exhaust in order to exit into the atmosphere, instead of being recycled back into the compressed gas tank, in Air-to-Water Mode.

[0083] In Air-to-Water Mode, the compressor motor uses energy from either the optional first battery or the renewable auxiliary energy source to actively or continuously operate and convert ambient gas into storable thermal energy in the form of pressurized gas within the storable gas tank. In this mode, the compressor motor is intentionally designed to continue running to prolong the air to- pressurized gas conversion process in order to collect large volumes of airborne moisture in the atmosphere to take advantage of the increase of humidity in the air during certain times of the year. The renewable auxiliary energy source as well as electricity from the linear generators will support the continued operations of the compressor motor. The generators will provide direct AC current or energy to both end users and to systemic operations. This mode will still produce excess electricity but at the expense of energy efficiency, since the compressor motor operations will be the primaiy focus in order to facilitate harvesting airborne moisture. Alternatively, in Air-to-Water Mode, the compressor motor uses energy from the first batter to actively or continuously operate and convert ambient gas into storable thermal energy in the form of pressurized gas within the storable gas tank.

[0084] In the Air-to-Electricity Mode, the initial and primary configuration or mode of our microgrid, the exhaust pressure will be recycled back into the gas tank to increase stored pressurized gas without the compressor motor continuously operating, which will not only conserve the motor from draining energy from the optional operational battery or renewable auxiliary energy source but also sharply increase the energy efficiency in terms of the volume of stored thermal energy in the tank and the speed of filling the tank to capacity since the adjustable release valve on compressor storage tank is able to close the valve so buildup pressurized heat or gas cannot escape while the pressurized heat or gas is being recycled back into the compressed gas tank, which will sharply increase the volume of pressurized heat or gas within the compressor gas tank. High density electricity can be later produced from recycling the gas, with no drainage from a compressor, since recycling the pressure will significantly increase the volume of high-density pressure in a fraction of the time, which can significantly increase the cycle of the generators. The optional batteries can store energy or the end user and systemic operations can directly access all excess electricity and the compressor motor will need to operate only once per systemic activation since the thermodynamic feature of the system allows pressure to expand within the gas storage tank when exhaust pressure is directed back into the gas storage tank in order to convert, air into stored pressurized heat or gas within compressed gas tank so the pressurized heat or gas can then be recycled throughout the pistons. In this mode, pressure is intentionally deigned to be manually directed back into the compressed gas tank and out the tank using the adjustable release valve that is connected to the compressed gas tank so high density electricity from manipulating air as storable thermal energy is being efficiently produced at all times of the day and in all regional or weather conditions without continuously draining energy input sources since air is a constant resource on the Earth’s surface and pressurizing gas, even for electrical generation, is feasible is harsher regions. Alternatively, in Air- to-Eleetricity Mode, an operational battery that is connected to either an auxiliary energy source or a voltage regulator dial is then connected to an auxiliary energy source will operate the compressor motor and other systemic components.

[0085] A smart meter can also be included and attached to the batteries as well as the water filter and battery for tracking water volume, volume accumulation, usage, and sales. Another smart meter may be included in the system for tracking electrical generation, storage, usage and sales.

[0086] The housing includes valves located at each distal end and a wall that divides the housing into two areas. This allows one chamber or area for each piston, which oppose each other. The relay or control module directs pressure to respective air hoses to supply pressure to each housing areas in order to traverse the piston rod. As one area is supplied pressure, the opposing area discharges pressure back to the release valve located at relay or control module by using air hoses to input and discharge pressure.

[0087] The wall separates the housing into two adjacent gas storage chambers so that pressure (heat) is maintained on one side of the housing, which will discharge pressure in the adjacent area in order to push the piston. Gas is alternately compressed on one end of the piston rod while expanded on the opposing end to continually move the piston back and forth in a push and pull manner.

[0088] Pneumatic pistons are designed with a gas input and discharge valves that are supplied gas as pressure by air hoses that make up the valve system comprising of electromagnetic solenoids and standard valves that are interconnected with gas storage source. Each gas storage chamber is designed with either a valve for gas input and discharge processes or a combined gas storage chamber and spring configuration where pressure is applied to one end of the piston, facilitating the spring to first retract then extend back to its original position. The pressure input on one side of the piston enables pressure (heat) to be discharged on the other end of the piston if the pneumatic piston has two valves. If the pneumatic piston has a pressure (heat) 139 and spring 123 configuration, then a single valve can be used to input and disdiarge gas to move the rod forth while the spring is used to apply opposing force as it retracts and extends, thereby applying opposing force from using the inner surface of the pneumatic piston. There will be sequential pressure discharging on one side of the pneumatic piston rod to traverse or push and pull the piston rod to achieve sequential movement in the opposite direction. The rod or rod wall is linked to the internal piston. The piston interconnects with piston rods that interconnect widt the drive bar. Pressure (heat) released or regulated to centered pneumatic pistons by relay or control module that uses manual or automatic activation relay controllers that are positioned at each distal end of the barrel housing to release pressure that will move piston rod a certain length until the pressure (heat) is discharged out a discharge valve to facilitate the sequence of pressure input and discharge provided by either stored compressed heat gas source or other acting on the piston to achieve movement in the opposing direction to traverse the rod, thereby traversing the drive bar to promote pneumatic force storage manipulation onto distal end drive assembly of the housing that includes a relay controller switch and a plural of linear generators or a pneumatic timing release relay or control module and no relay controller.

[0089] It shall be noted that each midpoint between the distal ends of the housing may include at least one double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic piston, while the distal end of the housing may include at least one magnetic induction generator per distal end and one piston that opposes the double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic piston.

[0090] The system may also include manual action controllers that are positioned at both distal ends of the housing. The manual action relay controllers operate manually through piezoelectric components when force is applied, which triggers a command to be sent to relay or control module that regulate the released direction of the compressed gas to pneumatic pistons located at midpoint between the distal ends. Optional automatic relay or control module that works on a timing release relay or control module and powered by the renewable auxiliary energy source can be used instead of using distal end relay controllers to input and discharge pressure to and front pneumatic pistons using air hoses interconnected with the relay or control module and to valves on the pneumatic pistons. Pneumatic timing release relay or control module releases gas as pressure to air hoses on a timing release control based on timing action that can continue to do over until ceased by removing current from its coil with time.

[0091] As described above, the housing or piezoelectric housing or configuration includes a drive bar that uses compressed gas to traverse back and forth in order to transfer kinetic pressure to a drive assembly configuration of linear or magnetic induction generators and relay controllers provided at distal ends of housing. The interior of the housing is outfitted with a double-sided, dual- acting pneumatic piston positioned at the center or midpoint between the distal ends of the housing, as well as distal end pneumatic pistons located adjacent to the linear generators, where the pistons house rods that simultaneously traverse a plural of drive bars into linear generators to produce electricity as pressure is supplied and discharged to the internal gas storage chambers of the pistons to traverse the opposing piston rods simultaneously towards their distal end generators. The drive system comprising of pressurized gas, pistons and drive bars also comprises a pulley systems located at each distal end of the piezoelectric housing that work with the piston rods and interconnected drive bars to cut the usage of the volume of gas to move the weight of the plural of linear generators and manual action relay controllers in half. This design will enable the pneumatic pistons to utilize compressed gas deriving from a pressure regulator to facilitate movement of the piston rods. A drive bar is used as a bridge to not only interconnect one piston rod to the other but also to supply kinetic force to the linear generators that are aligned in a row. The drive bars allow for the two pneumatic pistons positioned at midpoint between the distal ends of the housing or piezoelectric housing to work in sequential unison when applying kinetic force to distal ended linear or magnetic induction generators.

[0092] Rows of linear generators within a cartridge setting can be added to the above described microgrid design. The more pistons that are implemented, the sharper the increase in momentum of the linear generators, therefore, adding more back-to-back rows of linear generators is possible if a proportional number of pistons are added, The microgrid system is a multiplier system in that a plurality of linear generators, each having connector wires to the renewable auxiliary energy source and plural of linear generators, will be triggered simultaneously to deliver electricity to end users and to the system for systemic operations.

[0093] In addition, the linear or magnetic induction generators can be aligned in an array in order to trigger each other, where distal end housing comprising of a plural of linear generators can be aligned in an array at the rear of the prior row of linear generator-based distal end sleeve housing. The rear stem or bars of the prior linear generators are elongated as a result of kinetic force applied to push down the metal bar of the linear generator, The rear stems or bars can rest on a secondary drive bar or magnetic divider that rest on magnets of a secondary row of linear generators so applied kinetic force is transferred from the first row of linear generators to the second row of linear generators and other rows of linear generators following thereafter; wherein a single pneumatic pressure input source will allow an array or series of linear generators to be influenced or triggered to simultaneously produce an electric current discharge or discharged electric current per spring reciprocating cycle.

[0094] The derived electricity from the generators, along with the initial operational energy, which is an auxiliary power source, namely a renewable energy source or other source of electric supply, are then regulated by voltage regulators and then directed to end users and systemic operations. The pneumatic pistons are supplied compressed gas or pressure from a pressure regulator which receives compressed gas source from an air compressor motor and gas storage chamber or tank, which receives electricity from the auxiliary renewable energy source that provides the initial operational energy, which is an auxiliary power source. In return, upon activation, the pneumatic pistons utilize the compressed gas to apply work to drive bar inside the housing and into awaiting piezoelectric generators or components, namely a plural of linear generators and relay controller that are connected to the relay or control module that regulate gas directional flow. The traversing of the drive bars will continue until either the system activation switch is turned off or if the end user full to capacity.

[0095] In operation, a combined renewable energy and compressed gas energy storage and generation microgrid system provides energy storage and generation and Includes a housing and cross-sectional components either mounted in or outside the housing. A separate housing is used for reciprocating piezoelectric energy production using centered double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic pistons to traverse interconnected kinetic drive bars onto relay controllers and generators. A motorized gas compressor, namely a compressor motor, is used to convert and store gas for pneumatic force applications using pneumatic pistons and other pneumatic components like pressure regulators that work as bridges. A plurality of linear generators is positioned at each distal end of the separate housing used for piezoelectric energy production for end users and for systemic operations, In addition, a plurality of batteries may be included as either end users or other. Alternatively, a plurality of batteries may be included where an operational battery supplies power to the motorized gas compressor and support battery receives energy from piezoelectric energy production derived from linear generators. An auxiliary renewable energy source or other source supplies energy to the operational battery using a voltage regulator as a bridge to provide electricity to the end user and to systemic operations. A portable water filtration system that connects to the gas storage chamber or tank may be included as well as a plurality of pulleys and pulley cords that work or interconnect with opposing drive bars that work with pneumatic pistons to traverse opposing drive bars in a push-pull manner towards linear generators by cutting the volume of the pressurized gas required to traverse the linear generators in half.

[0096] The housing, also referred to as housing or the piezoelectric housing, may have inner hollowed construction, be rectangular in shape, and include distal ends that interconnect using side rails in which each distal end is made up of multiple sleeves to house piezoelectric components as well as sleeves to include linear generators and relay controllers extending lengthwise along an inner surface with which a drive bar that is interconnected with not only the magnets of the linear generators but also the piston rods of pneumatic pistons that are centered in the clearance space between the distal ends of the housing that engages the linear generators and traverses each distal end drive bar back and forth between distal ends. Gas compressor components as well as auxiliary power source and batteries are located outside the barrel housing as the housing is configured to promote electrical production using pneumatic induction and transference.

[0097] The compressor motor converts the outside compressed gas source, namely air or ambient gas, into stored thermal energy, namely pressure, pressurized gas or heat, within a gas storage chamber that is used to supply pneumatic force to the pneumatic pistons in order to aid the gas in pushing the drive bars toward piezoelectric components, such as a plurality of linear generators and a relay controller that is located at distal ends of the barrel. The drive bar engages with or applies kinetic pressure to the action relay controllers which sends a command to optional manual relay or control module to regulate the directional flow of input and discharge pressure (heat) directed into the midpoint double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic pistons. The relay controllers, which are located at each distal end, enable newly added pressure to pistons as the automatic or manual relay controllers are connected to the relay or control module that regulates gas pressure directional flow. Alternatively, the automatic relay or control module can utilize motion detection sensors or can come equipped with a pneumatic timer to autonomously switch the directional flow of compressed gas on a timer or sequential manner towards one pair of midpoint pneumatics pistons without the usage of automatic or manual action controllers that rely on kinetic force applications from the drive bars; whereas pistons are receiving newly added pressure input through air hoses supply gas to interconnected to piston valves to extend their piston rods and will sequentially discharging pressure through piston valves to retract their piston rods, thereby traversing the interconnected drive bar in a reciprocating manner since the drive bar is interconnected with the piston.

[0098] The housing or piezoelectric housing may include a drive system with a plurality of traversing drive bars that are able to traverse the length of the barrel housing with respect to the length of pneumatic pistons rods. The pneumatic pistons are positioned at the center of each distal end of the barrel housing. The drive bar can be rectangular in shape and may include a sleeve that facilitates the interconnection of the piston rods. The sleeve of the drive bar is engaged upon the piston rods such that as the drive bar goes from one distal end to another distal end using the piston rods. The housing or surface of the reciprocating drive bars is responsible for the kinetic engagement and transference of kinetic force to a plurality of linear or magnetic induction generators when in contact.

[0099] Double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic pistons may be used and are located at the center of each distal end of the barrel housing, as well as at each distal end of the housing to oppose the centered pneumatic pistons, and will traverse the interconnected drive bars back and forth along the inside of the housing. The rod of the piston is interconnected with the drive bar to promote pneumatic- induced movement in which the pistons work with the high ratio of stored gas within the volume of the compression chamber, through the use of a pressure regulator acting as a bridge, that heats up gas during compression and likewise cools the stored gas down during expansion. In addition, stored heat as pressurized gas is supplied to the pistons using gas hoses, pressure regulators acting as bridges, and input and discharge valves or pneumatic spring configuration to traverse the piston, which in turn moves the piston rod a certain distance until the pressure is discharged out a discharge valve to facilitate the pressure input and discharge process when the drive bar applies kinetic energy to the opposing relay controller that is connected to an outside relay or control module that regulates directional gas pressure flow. In this way, air is converted into stored pressure or heat by the compressor motor, which is then stored in a gas storage chamber and supplied to the pneumatic system.

[00100] Components of the opposing influenced assembly located in each sleeve of the housing that the drive bar triggers are linear magnetic induction generators that produce electricity upon movement of magnet back and forth inside of induction coil. These generators can include either a spring only or a first and optional spring configuration to promote push down and reset of the magnetic induction bar or magnetic induction process that results in a discharge of a current. The first spring configuration has the spring positioned on one side of the metal bar to facilitate spring release and retraction processes, while the optional first and optional second spring configuration has the first spring located at the opposing side of the magnet and metal bar; in which magnet can traverse back and forth within induction coil.

[00101] The magnet and first spring extend away from each distal end of the housing, and are responsible for hitting against said drive and the magnet traverses back and forth within induction coil to discharges current. Movement of the magnet back and forth within the coil is accomplished by virtue of first spring only or a configuration of first and optional second spring. The drive bar traverses to each distal end of housing in a reciprocating manner to facilitate any applied kinetic pressure associated with movement by using drive bar frame as kinetic force application as it traverses back and forth within the housing.

[00102] AC electricity is produced by linear magnetic induction generators when kinetic pressure is applied by drive bar or drive bar housing and is transferred as direct AC to end users and back into the system for systemic operations, while renewable auxiliary energy source is transferred as direct AC or DC to end users and back into the system for systemic operations. Electricity produced by magnetic induction can be received by a battery or other electrical energy storage unit as end users by wire or wireless induction .Wireless recharging capabilities can be adopted into the microgrid system of the present invention. A wireless charging transmitter can work with a wireless charging receiver to recharge end users wirelessly.

[00103] As exhaust pressure from the pistons is released out of the piston housing and into the relay, the exhaust pressure is then released into a third pressure regulator and is then released back into the gas storage chamber, where pressure builds with the assistance of an adjustable release valve that is connected to one of the ports of the gas storage chamber, wherein the adjustable release valve can be adjusted to release excess pressure outside its adjusted pressure setting, wherein the port of the adjustable release valve will manually open to release excess pressure buildup in the gas storage chamber, wherein the pressure sensor of the compressor motor will lead the compressor motor to deactivate while the excess pressure from the exhaust pressure being released into the gas storage chamber continues..

[00104] The gas compressor may receive electrical power from an auxiliary renewable energy source, a voltage regulator connected to an auxiliary energy source, a battery or other electrical energy storage unit that receives auxiliary power from interconnected, external, portable and renewable power source or other source of electric supply, where the renewable power source may be solar, wind, hydropower, etc. A voltage regulator will be acting as bridge as it interconnects the renewable power source with end user or systemic operations or possibly an electrical energy storage unit.

[00105] A manual or automatic activation switch may be used to start the microgrid system, The microgrid activation switch interconnects the battery to operational componentry, including the relay or control module and motorized pump of gas compressor unit. Pneumatic pressure is derived from the gas storage chamber of the compressor unit.

[00106] Double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic pistons, or pistons with opposing rods that face opposing distal ends of the housing that can simultaneously traverse in and out in a reciprocating, push pull manner, are positioned at the center of each distal end of the housing to convert in a reciprocating manner high ratio of pressure as heat stored widiin the gas storage chamber into mechanical motion using their internal componentry as air hoses connect to input and discharge valves of pneumatic pistons. A pneumatic force component with an internal surface that includes a gas storage chamber with valves located at the center of each distal end of the housing that use a piston rod wall in the gas storage chamber as a pressure (heat) divider for each distal end of the housing. The relay will work with a pressure regulator dial directs pressure to respective air hoses to supply pressure to respective distal end gas storage chambers of the piston to traverse the piston rod, As the front gas storage chamber is supplied pressure, the opposing gas storage chamber of the piston discharges pressure back to the release valve located at the relay or control module by using air hoses to input and discharge pressure. The wall of a rod separates the single gas section of the piston into two adjacent sections in order for pressure (heat) to input one side of the gas storage chamber, which will discharge pressure in the adjacent gas storage chamber to traverse the piston rod and rod wall. The volume of gas compresses on one end of the rod wall while an opposing volume of gas expands on the opposing end, forcing the rod back and forth. The pneumatic pistons are designed with a gas input and discharge valves that are supplied gas as pressure by air hoses that make up and work with the valve system that is interconnected with the relay or control module that interconnects with the gas storage source. Air hoses interconnect with sides of pistons using valves as the air hoses work as both gas admittance and simultaneously gas release units, depending on the piston distal end that gas working as pressure is being directed - inputted and released - as air hoses direct pressure controlled by the relay to enter one side of the piston and release pressure using the air hoses that direct the released pressure to a release valve interconnected with the relay or control module. Each piston gas storage chamber is designed with either a valve for pressure input and discharge processes or a combined gas storage chamber and spring configuration. When pressure is applied to one end of the piston, the spring first retracts and then extends back to its original position. The pressure input on one side of the piston enables pressure (heat) to be discharged on the other end of the piston if the pneumatic piston has two areas for gas with two valves, or if the pneumatic piston has a pressure and spring configuration, then a single valve can be used to input and discharge gas to move the rod forth while the spring is used to apply opposing force as it retracts and extends, thereby applying opposing force from using the inner wall of the pneumatic piston. There will be sequential pressure discharging on one side of the rod wall to traverse the piston rod to achieve sequential movement in the opposite direction. The rod wall is interconnected to the rod, which is interconnected to the internal piston. The piston interconnects with rods that interconnect with the drive bar. Compressed heat is released or regulated to midpoint pistons by manual or automatic activation relay controllers located at each distal end will send a command to the relay or control module that regulates the gas or pressure directional flow to direct pressure to move piston rod a certain length until the compressed heat is discharged out a discharge valve to facilitate the sequence of pressure input and discharge provided by either stored compressed gas or heat or other acting on the piston or piston rod to achieve movement in the opposing direction to traverse the rod to promote pneumatic force storage manipulation onto distal end influenced assembly of the housing or piezoelectric housing that includes a relay controller and a plurality of linear generators, or may include a pneumatic timing release relay or control module and no relay controller. On each side of the gas storage chamber are opposing pneumatic pistons that are located at each distal end of the piezoelectric housing.

[00107] The gas compressor is preferably powered by an auxiliary renewable energy source, which may be connected to an auxiliary power source or an electrical grid, when available, but can alternatively be powered by a battery or a series of batteries. The compressed gas is stored within a gas storage chamber. The system utilizes the generated compressed gas to apply kinetic pressure to a plurality of piezoelectric components, such as relay controllers and a plurality of linear or magnetic induction generators to produce electrical energy. The electrical energy produced from this process may be used immediately by end users or directed back into the system to power systemic operations or may be stored for later use in a battery functioning as an end user. Alternatively, batteries, interconnected or other, can be adopted to store energy and power the system, where the second battery stores energy from the compressed gas, whereas the first battery, or the operational battery, converts or stores electricity from renewable energy sources or an electrical grid.

[00108] Moisture produced from the compressed air may be collected and stored within the compressed gas storage chamber if ambient air is used as a source of compressed air. The water filtration unit, which can consist of a rectangular, bottleneck housing with filtration layers like gravel, sand, charcoal and a cheesecloth or coffee filter to filter water contaminants, can interconnect with an intake/outtake port of the gas storage chamber so moisture can be directed into the water filtration system to supply filtered water.

[00109] Distal end pneumatic pistons will be positioned to work with central pneumatic pistons to traverse the drive bar back and forth. The distal end pneumatic pistons oppose the central pneumatic pistons and be adjacent to the linear generators. The number of pistons that perform pneumatic work and the number of linear generators aligned to be triggered by the ram bar that the pistons lie on is correlated. Therefore, the more pistons that are implemented, the sharper the increase in momentum and amplitude of pneumatic force to the linear generators.
