Apologies, correction to the above – but still very strange:
Many thanks to member “25362” above. That was very useful and I think I am almost there but I’m getting a funny result.
I’m trying to find out what volume of compressed air I will need to accelerate a human body to around 2m/s...

I’m trying to find out what volume of compressed air I will need to accelerate a human body to around 2m/s (nearly 5mph). (Assuming body is on a frictionless sled and there...
How would one calculate the potential energy content of compressed air at 25 degrees C (~room temperature) for a range of volumes and pressures? For example:
0.25, 0.5 and 1 cubic meter at 5, 10 and 25 Bar?
Please ignore all losses e.g. heat loss when pressurising.
