I say skip the compression bottles and just put water in the tire!

I really enjoyed this and I liked the guy’s vibe. His solution was costly and time consuming, but elegant. Kind of NASA-ish.

Maybe. But, he oddly leaves out the simple fact that he’s limited by the actual water pressure in his domestic water system. He can’t get higher pressure into his tire than his water system is able to compress the air to begin with.
Nice visualization of the air compression though.

He just would have to put more bottles in the sequence.

About that username...
Might be time to review Boyle’s Law.

Beet juice, for tractor like steering and ability in the snow.

More bottles is more air volume to fill the tire but not more air pressure.
The air pressure is capped by his water pressure: Once the air pressure equals the supplied water pressure then water stops flowing with the water tap open and no more air pressure is built.

But what if he mounted his bottle assembly up higher, and then filled a reservoir above that, so all the water pressure is used to fight gravity only. Then once the reservoir is filled, use the added gravitational potential energy as a water column to boost the pressure!

You already asked me to review my Statistics, which I did, but you did not grade my homework.

I’ll take your word for it.
I never took Physics . I was thinking of the line of bottles in terms of a series of pulleys that add mechanical advantage, but I guess that’s not the case.
So if his water is coming out of the tap at 60 psi, then the air stored in that last bottle will also be at 60 psi?
In the video he strings ten bottles in a line and hits equilibrium at around 8.8 bottles. Would the result be linear if he had twenty bottles in sequence? Two bottles of compressed air and ~18 bottles of water?
Thank you for setting me straight on that.

Correct :) . A
lso if say he opened the opposite
end where the water filled then the water will flow out
at 60psi
. Like how a the old pump up
supersoaker
works.

Yep.
I deal with hydrophore tanks. So they’re like a compressed air tank but mostly
filled with liquid. They’re
usually around
3/4 full of liquid
(slightly variable
in practice
)
. We use them typically for
fresh water drinking
supply for the vessel (but other closed
liquid
systems as well).
The pressurized air acts the same way as a spring does (think air suspension) and it maintains a
pressure on the system and a reserve of water at that pressure. This stops the constant cycling (bad for the electrical contractor) of the supply
water pump(s)
that draw
from the big water storage tank every time someone opens a tap.

My brother-in-law owns a houseboat and there’s a pump and I’ve been telling him he needs some kind of pressure vessel so the pump doesn’t have to keep cycling and I think maybe that’s what you are talking about.
What sort of company do you do this work for?

Yep that would work if the system can sustain pressure.
I work on ships as an engineer, so a lot of piping systems and fluid transfer in the practical sense.
