The process of filling the empty tanks to 100 psi takes 5-10 pedaling sessions per day for roughly a week.

Eeesh.

Compared to 5 minutes when using electricity, it really puts things into perspective.

Generally for extended periods you would pedal with something like 100 - 200 W while small electric compressors seem to be in > 1 kW region (and don't get tired as quickly :D).

So basically with pedal power you could feasibly run some led lights and portable electronics but anything beyond this is not practical.

I wonder what the round up efficiency is like.
