       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0006]    The a combined heat and power system, namely a combined renewable energy and compressed gas energy storage and generation portable isothermal microgrid system, is a reciprocating bar-based barrel that uses a drive bar to transfer direct kinetic energy to piezoelectric components to then store the electrical production, all of which can be used in a microgrid configuration, that uses renewable energy, namely solar, wind, water or hydro, or other sources of electric supply to sequentially generate initial electrical energy that is stored, store pneumatic energy as compressed gas, generate high density electrical energy using stored gas against piezoelectric generators, and finally store the resulting high density electrical energy into a second battery that interconnects with renewable energy storage for bidirectional flow electrical balancing to prolong electrical recharging of storage through using multiple electrical generative sources; all of which comprises of a barrel housing with a modified drive system within the barrel housing setting where a drive bar traverses back and forth in order to transfer kinetic energy to a plural of piezoelectric components, namely linear generators and relay controllers located at distal ends of barrel housing in a mounted drive assembly that allows kinetic force application, to promote simultaneous electrical discharge and pressure (gas) discharge to promote the pneumatic rods to traverse towards opposing distal ends of the piezoelectric barrel housing. As a direct kinetic energy transferor, it uses a bar to apply pressure (gas)-induced reciprocating kinetic force application onto a plural of distal end piezoelectric components. The center of the piezoelectric barrel housing, also known as the midpoint of the distal ends of the barrel housing or drive system, is outfitted with double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic pistons that house rods that uses pressure to apply force to interconnected distal end drive bars to trigger the current discharge of linear generators from both distal ends simultaneously. The pneumatic pistons are being supplied pressure from a compressed gas source or chamber, which pushes on internal components of the pneumatic piston—rod—which in turn pushes in a reciprocating manner the drive bar toward opposing distal ends or drive assembly housing linear generators and relay controllers. 
         [0007]    An object of the invention is to provide a housing that includes a modified drive system of the barrel housing that includes linear generators at distal ends, which are transferred linear or kinetic energy from a drive bar from the midpoint area of the barrel housing. 
         [0008]    Another object of the invention is to provide the drive system with a force application drive bar that interconnects the piston rods that are supplied kinetic energy by the pneumatic pistons positioned at distal ends to apply kinetic force in a reciprocating manner to a drive assembly or plural of linear generators and relay controllers positioned at each distal ends. 
         [0009]    A further object of the invention is to include pneumatic pistons at the midpoint of the distal ends of the piezoelectric housing, since the double-sided, dual acting pneumatic pistons house piston rods that use stored pressure (gas) to generate pneumatic movement. The compressed gas source or chamber will supply pneumatic force to the pneumatic pistons in order to aid the pressure (gas) in pushing the drive bar towards respective piezoelectric components, namely a plural of linear generators and relay controllers that are located at distal ends of the barrel. The drive bar engages with or applies kinetic pressure to the action relay controller that uses kinetic pressure from drive bar to send a command to the relay or control module that regulates the gas directional flow that promote movement of pistons. Relays controllers, located at each distal end, enable newly added pressure to pistons. Optional design of the automatic relay or control module can be pneumatic timing discharge-based, or pneumatic discharge that operates on timing sequence to regulate or direct pressure in or out of pistons using air hoses, instead of using distal end relay controllers to input and discharge pressure to and from pneumatic pistons using air hoses interconnected to the relay or control module and to valves on the pneumatic pistons. Pistons located at the midpoint of the distal ends are receiving newly added pressure input through air hoses supply gas to interconnect to piston valves or stems to extend their piston rods. 
         [0010]    An additional object of the invention is to supply an auxiliary power source, namely renewables or other sources of electrical supply, to operate the compressed gas source for remote or portable power station purposes. The compressed gas source will supply pneumatic force to the pneumatic pistons in order to pushing the opposing, distal end drive bars towards both linear generators and relay controllers that are located at distal ends of the barrel housing. Each drive bar engages with the automatic or manual action controllers, which sends a command to the relay or control module to regulate the directional flow of compressed gas at a time towards one pair of midpoint pneumatic pistons or the other. Additionally, the relay or control module can utilize motion detection sensors or come equipped with a pneumatic timer to autonomously switch the directional flow of compressed gas on a timer—sequential or simultaneous manner—towards one pair of centered pneumatics pistons without the usage of automatic or manual action controllers that rely on kinetic force applications from the drive bar. 
         [0011]    A further object of the invention is to generate high energy using a plural of magnetic induction generators for energy production purposes. Linear magnetic induction generators produce electricity upon movement of magnet back and forth inside of induction coil. 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. 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. Magnet can traverse back and forth within induction coil. Force is applied to the linear magnetic induction generators by the traversing kinetic motion of the drive bar. The bar applies force to the magnet set atop a compressed spring that facilitates motion between the magnetic field of the magnet and conductive coil to emit an AC electrical output. Transformers are used in conjunction with the magnetic induction generators to convert AC to DC power. A transfer control can be used to switch between stored AC, direct AC and direct DC output when stored AC is not presently optional. The linear generators work in conjunction with the system auxiliary power, namely renewables or other sources of electrical supply. 
         [0012]    An additional object of the invention is to provide a design where multiple generators can be triggered simultaneously to produce high energy densities per reciprocating cycle. A singular pneumatic pressure input source can 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. The linear generators can be aligned in an array—rows and columns—, to trigger each other, where distal end housing comprising of a plural of linear generators can be aligned in an array—columns and rows—at the rear of the prior row of linear generator-based distal end sleeve housing; wherein the rear stem or bar of the prior linear generators are elongated as a result of kinetic force applied to push down the metal bar of the linear generator; wherein 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. 
         [0013]    An additional object of the invention is to provide two electrical energy storage units that store electricity. The first electrical energy storage unit stores electricity generated from the auxiliary power source and supplies it to the motorized pump of the compressed air source; wherein the second electrical energy storage unit stores electricity generated from the linear generators and supplies electric user power. The first and second electrical energy storage units can be interconnected. 
         [0014]    A further object of the invention is to provide access to filtered water when the system is using an ambient gas source. Moisture from an ambient 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; wherein the moisture can be directed into an interconnected portable water filtration system to supply filtered water that accumulates over time, enabling the system to not only relate to the field of energy production, conservation, and transference but also relate to the field of water collection, conservation, and transference. 
         [0015]    These together with additional objects, features and advantages of the compressed gas energy storage system or apparatus will be readily explained upon reading the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments of the portable air driven generator and storage system when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 
         [0016]    In this respect, before explaining the current embodiments of the portable air driven generator and storage system in detail, it is to be understood that the portable air driven generator and storage system is not limited in its applications to the details of construction and arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustration. The concept of this disclosure may be readily utilized as a basis for the design of other structures, methods, and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the portable air driven generator and storage system. 
         [0017]    It is therefore important that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the microgrid portable air driven generator and storage system. It is also to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for purposes of description and should not be regarded as limiting.

In the process of directional gas flow that occurs in pistons that use two gas storage chambers—a front and a rear that is separated by a rod wall—to traverse the piston rod wall in one direction, the front gas storage chamber (chamber  1  is supplied pressure, making the opposing gas storage chamber (chamber  2 ) of the piston direct out pressure back to the valve located at the relay or control module by using air hoses used to direct pressure in and out. The wall of a rod separates the single large gas chamber of the piston into two adjacent gas storage chambers—front chamber and rear chamber—in order for pressure (heat) to be directed in or out one side of the gas storage chamber, which will direct out pressure in the adjacent gas storage chamber to traverse the piston rod and rod wall in opposing directions using the sequential process of applying pressure into chamber  1  or chamber  2  of the piston, depending on the direction that the drive bar is traversing to trigger manual relay controllers or depending on a pneumatic timing command sent from the relay or control module. One of the manual relay controllers can be designed with an extended switch arm to enable the switch to be position at the rear area of the opposing drive bar in order to be triggered, thereby changing the directional flow of pressure to traverse the drive bar.

           [0027]      FIG. 9  illustrates a detailed illustration of the barrel housing, illustrating the influenced assembly, namely the distal end sleeves that house piezoelectric components like the plurality of linear generators and relay controllers. 
           [0028]      FIG. 10  illustrates a detailed illustration of the array of distal end housing comprising of a plural of linear generators that can be aligned in a column or row to the rear of a prior linear generator to use the rear stem of the prior linear generator to trigger by pushing down the magnet of the linear generator positioned behind it. A singular pneumatic pressure input source can 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 sequence of piston rod push and pull event. 
           [0029]      FIG. 11  illustrates an embodiment of proposed application that the portable microgrid system can be adopted to, namely an electric vehicle-to-grid application, where portable electricity can be applied to an electric vehicle and electric grid.

         [0081]    Detailed reference will now be made to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in  FIGS. 1-14 . The compressed gas energy storage system, namely a reciprocating bar-based barrel direct energy transferor piezoelectricity system  100  (hereinafter “invention”) comprising of a barrel housing with a plural of traversing drive bars as the direct energy transferor and piezoelectric componentry, includes a barrel housing  101  of an undefined length  102  and undefined internal length or width or depth  103 . That being said, the barrel housing  101  is of hollowed construction, is rectangular in shape, includes distal ends  107  that interconnect using side rails, and has clearance space in between the distal ends. Each distal end  107  is made up of multiple sleeves  108  to house piezoelectric components as well as sleeves  108  to include linear generators  140  and relay controllers  132  extending lengthwise along an inner surface  105  with which a drive bar  106  that is interconnected with the piston rods  104  of pneumatic pistons  122  that are centered in the clearance space  105  between the distal ends  107  of the housing  101  that engages the linear generators  140  and traverses each distal end drive bar  106  back and forth between distal ends  107 . 
         [0082]    The barrel housing  101  includes a plural of linear generators  140  at the distal ends  107  positioned in housing sleeves  108 , and draw kinetic energy from the drive bar  106  when in contact therewith. It shall be noted that the invention  100  is designed in such a way that the drive bar  106  is mobile and traverses back and forth between the distal ends  107  in order to transfer kinetic energy to the linear or magnetic induction generators  140  for electrical production when arriving at the distal ends  107  by the use of a compressed gas source  126  to supply pressure (heat)  139 . That being said, the housing of the drive bar  118  applies kinetic force stored therein when communicated with the linear or magnetic induction generator  140 ; so upon contact, and upon moving away from said linear or magnetic induction generator  140  and moving towards an opposing distal end, said housing of drive bar  118  is imparted new kinetic force by compressed gas source  126  that traverse pneumatic pistons  122  in order to apply new level of kinetic force therein for transference to the piezoelectric components positioned in housing sleeves  108 , namely relay controllers  132  and linear or magnetic induction generators  140  at the opposing distal end  107 , etc. 
         [0083]    The plural of magnetic induction generators  140  produce electricity, which is transferred to the second electrical energy storage unit  131 . 
         [0084]    Pneumatic pistons  122 , positioned between or midpoint of distal ends  107  of piezoelectric housing, work in unison with interconnected piston rods  104  and drive bar  106  to apply applicable force to traverse each drive bar  106  back and forth along the inside of the barrel housing  101 . The centered double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic pistons  122  comprise of a plural of piston rods  124  that can traverse in opposing directions when pressure  139  is introduced into their gas chambers  125  can include a spring  123  coupled with a piston  124 . Regulated by relay controllers  132  that send a command to the relay or control module  129  that regulates the directional flow of gas  126  into midpoint pneumatic pistons  122 , the piston  124  is connected to a gas chamber  125 , which supplies compressed gas  126  to all of the pistons  124  via compressed air hoses  127 . As an alternative to using relay controllers  132 , the relay or control module  129  can utilize motion detection sensor switches  171  or can use a pneumatic timing release relay or control module  172  to autonomously switch the directional flow of compressed gas  126  on a timer or sequential manner towards one pair of centered pneumatics pistons  122  without the usage of automatic or manual action controllers  132  that rely on kinetic force applications from the drive bars  106 . Located at each distal end  107 , motion detection sensor switches  171  select the drive bar  106  region to monitor movement using an emitted light  178  to compare sequential images, changes or interruption in light pattern; and if enough of the light  178  have changed between those frames, the software determines something moved and send the relay  129  an alert to trigger motion of the pneumatic pistons  122  by sending command to relay  129  to release gas as pressure into targeted air hoses  127 . Pneumatic timing release relay or control module  172  releases gas  126  as pressure  139  to air hoses  127  in a sequence based on timing action that is halted by removing voltage from the coil  142  with time; when voltage is applied to the coil  142 , 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  127  interconnect relay or control modules  129  with valves  133  of pneumatic piston  122  and its internal piston  122  or chambers  125  as the air hoses  127  work as both gas admittance and simultaneously gas release units, depending on the piston gas chamber  125  distal end  107  that gas  126  working as pressure  139  is being directed—inputted and released—as air hoses  127  direct pressure  139  controlled by the relay  129  to enter one side of the piston gas chamber  125  and release pressure  139  using the air hoses  127  that direct the released pressure  139  to a release valve  133  interconnected with the relay or control module  129 . 
         [0085]    The gas chamber  125  is supplied compressed gas from a compressed gas source  126  and stores it as pressure (heat)  139 . Moisture  138  from a gas source  126  builds up over time within the compressed gas storage chamber  125  as the high ratio of gas within the volume of the compression chamber heats up during compression, releasing moisture  138 , and likewise cools down during expansion. The water filtration unit  136 , which can consist of a rectangular, bottleneck housing  101  with filtration layers like gravel  173 , sand  174 , charcoal  175  and a cheesecloth or coffee filter  176  to filter water contaminants, can interconnect with an intake/outtake port  137  of the gas storage chamber  125  so moisture  138  can be directed into the water filtration system  136  to supply filtered water  177  that accumulates over time, enabling the system  100  to not only relate to the field of energy production, conservation, and transference but also relate to the field of water collection, conservation, and transference. 
         [0086]    The magnetic induction generators  140  produce electricity by absorbing kinetic pressure from the drive bar; wherein the kinetic pressure is transferred into movement of a magnet  141  back and forth inside of an induction coil  142 . Each magnet  141  magnetizes a metal bar  145  that works with a first spring  143  to reset the metal bar  145  back to its original position and reciprocate the kinetic pressure. Magnets can be separated by magnetic shielding divider or wall  147  to prevent magnetic interference. The generator can include an optional second spring  146  if necessary, to assist in reciprocating the weight of the combined magnet and metal bar. The first spring  143  is located on a side of the magnet  141  opposite of the optional second spring  146 . The first spring  143  connects the magnet  141  to the distal end  107  of the barrel housing  101  such that the magnet  141  can travel back and forth within the induction coil  142 . The optional second spring  146  extends away from the adjacent distal end  107  of the housing  101 . The magnet  141  or first spring  143  is responsible for hitting against the drive shaft or bridge bar  106 . It shall be noted that the magnet  141  produces electricity as it traverses back and forth inside the induction coil  142  therein. 
         [0087]    The movement of the magnet  141  back and forth within the induction coil  142  is accomplished by virtue of the first spring  143  and the optional second spring  146  in communication between the drive bar  106  and the distal end  107  of the housing  101 . It shall be noted that as the drive bar  106  traverses back and forth inside of the barrel housing  101 , the housing of the drive bar  118  applies kinetic pressure to the first spring  143  to extend and retract, which causes the magnet  141  to magnetize the metal bar to move back and forth inside of the induction coil  142  thereby producing electricity each time the housing of the drive shaft bar  118  traverses to each distal end  107 . The AC electricity that is produced by the linear or magnetic induction generators are converted to DC by transformers  144 . A transfer control  134  can be used to switch between stored AC, direct AC and direct DC output when stored AC is not presently optional. 
         [0088]    The linear or magnetic induction generators  140  can be aligned in an array—rows and columns—, to trigger each other within their respective stationary sleeves  108 , where distal end housing  101  comprising of a plural of linear generators  140  can be aligned in an array—columns and rows—at the rear of the prior row of linear generator-based distal end sleeve housing  101 ; wherein the rear stem or metal bar  145  of the prior linear generators  140  are elongated as a result of kinetic force applied to push down the metal bar  145  of the linear generator  140 ; wherein the rear stems or metal bars  145  can rest on a secondary drive bar  106  performing as a magnetic divider  147  that rest on magnets  141  of a secondary row of magnetic induction generators  140  so applied kinetic force is transferred from the first row of linear generators  140  to the second row of magnetic induction generators  140  and other rows of linear generators  140  following thereafter. A singular pneumatic pressure input source  139  can allow an array or series of linear or magnetic induction generators  140  to be influenced or triggered to simultaneously produce an electric current discharge or discharged electric current per spring reciprocating cycle. 
         [0089]    The first energy storage  130  can be interconnected with the second energy storage  130 ; wherein electricity produced by the magnetic induction generators  140  can be transferred by a wire  135  to supply electricity to the second electrical energy storage unit  131 —capacitor and/or battery—and then an inverter  128  for electric user energy conversion purposes; while the first electrical energy storage unit  130  stores energy from a portable auxiliary power source  109 , namely a renewable energy source or other source of electric supply, to supply power to the on demand motor  111  of the compressed gas source  126 . That being said, the compressed gas source  126  is commonly a gas compressor that requires electricity from first battery  130  in order to operate a motor  111  to facilitate the compression and storage of gas. 
         [0090]    The stored gas source  126  which is transferred as pressure (heat)  139  by air hoses  127  using input and discharge valves  133  to and from the gas chamber  125 , which then transfers the compressed gas  126  as pressure (heat)  139  back to the piston diaphragm  124  of the pneumatic pistons  122 . Double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic pistons  122  comprise of a plural of piston rods  124  that can traverse in opposing directions when pressure  139  is introduced into their gas chambers  125  can include a spring  123  coupled with a piston  124 . Pneumatic pistons  122  are positioned at the center of the distal ends  107  of the housing  101  as a drive assembly to reciprocatingly convert high ratio of stored pressure (heat)  139  stored within the gas chamber  125  to enable the mechanical motion of the piston rods  124  as air hoses  127  connect to input and discharge valves  133  of pneumatic pistons  122 , which is namely a pneumatic force component with an internal that includes a gas storage chamber  125  with valves  133  located at each distal end  107  that use a piston rod wall  120  in the gas storage chamber  125  as a pressure (heat) divider for each distal end  107  of the gas storage chamber  125  with input and discharge valves  133 , allowing chamber  1  to be the numerical reference for the front gas storage chamber  125  of the piston and chamber  2  to be the numerical reference for the opposing gas storage chamber  125  of the piston  122 . The relay or control module  129  directs pressure  139  to respective air hoses  127  to supply pressure  139  to respective distal end gas storage chambers  125  of the piston  122  to traverse the piston rod  104 . As the front gas storage chamber (chamber  1 )  125  is supplied pressure, making the opposing gas storage chamber (chamber  2 )  125  of the piston  122  discharge pressure  139  back to the release valve  133  located at the relay or control module  129  by using air hoses  127  to input and discharge pressure  139 . The wall of a rod  120  separates the single gas chamber  125  of the piston  122  into two adjacent gas storage chambers  125  in order for pressure (heat)  139  to input one side of the gas storage chamber  125 , which will discharge pressure  139  in the adjacent gas storage chamber  125  to traverse the piston rod  124  or rod wall  120 . The volume of gas source  126  compresses on one end of the piston rod  124  or rod wall  120  while expanding it as pressure (heat)  139  on the opposing end to traverse the rod  124  back and forth in a push and pull manner in a certain direction. Pneumatic pistons  122  are designed with a gas input and discharge valves  133  that are supplied gas  126  as pressure  139  by air hoses  127  that make up the valve system comprising of electromagnetic solenoids and standard valves  133  that is interconnected with the gas storage source  126 . Each gas storage chamber  125  is designed with either a valve  133  for gas input/discharge processes or a combined gas storage chamber  125  and spring  123  configuration where pressure  139  is applied to one end of the piston  124 , facilitating the spring  123  to first retract then extend back to its original position. The pressure  139  input on one side of the piston  124  enables pressure (heat)  139  to be discharged on the other end of the piston  124  if the pneumatic piston has two gas chambers  125  with two valves  133 , or if the pneumatic piston  122  has a pressure (heat)  139  and spring  123  configuration, then a single valve  133  can be used to input and discharge gas  126  to move the rod  104  forth while the spring  123  is used to apply opposing force as it retracts and extends, thereby applying opposing force from using the inner surface  105  of the pneumatic piston  122 . There will be sequential pressure discharging on one side of the pneumatic piston rod  104  to traverse or push and pull the piston rod  104  to achieve sequential movement in the opposite direction. The rod  104  or rod wall  120  is linked to the internal piston  124 . The piston  124  interconnects with piston rods  104  that interconnect with the drive bar  106 . Pressure (heat)  139  released or regulated to centered pneumatic pistons  122  by relay or control module  129  that uses manual or automatic activation relay controllers  132  that are positioned at each distal end of the barrel housing  101  to release pressure  139  that will move piston rod  104  a certain length  102  until the pressure (heat)  139  is discharged out a discharge valve  133  to facilitate the sequence of pressure input and discharge provided by either stored compressed heat gas source  126  or other acting on the piston  124  to achieve movement in the opposing direction to traverse the rod  104 , thereby traversing the drive bar  106  to promote pneumatic force storage manipulation onto distal end drive assembly of the housing  101  that includes a relay controller switch  132  and a plural of linear generators or a pneumatic timing release relay or control module  172  and no relay controller  132 . Opposing each other, each side of the gas storage chamber  125  that are located within the pneumatic pistons  122  that are located at the center or midpoint of each distal end  107  of the piezoelectric housing  101  is directed pressure  139  to traverse the rod walls  120  of each plural of double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic pistons  122  simultaneously. The specification of the piezoelectric housing  101  includes midpoint double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic pistons  122  that have opposing piston rods  104  that face each distal end  107 . With internal numerical references (chamber  1 ) and (chamber  2 ) of the pneumatic piston  122 , when traversing the rod wall  120  of the piston in one direction, this process requires pressure  139  directed by air hoses  127  that are interconnect with valves  133  to simultaneously fill not only the gas storage chambers  125  (chamber  2 ), which will carry the discharged pressure  139  out of the system  100  using air hoses  127  to release the pressure  139  out of the relay exit valve  133  in order to prepare for the respective discharge of pressure  139  out of the originally-filled gas storage chamber  125  (chamber  2 ) in order to fill the opposing gas storage chamber  125  (chamber  2 ) so the piston  124  will motion in a reciprocating manner to move and then reset itself to its original position as pressure  139  is input and discharged out the release valve  133  of the relay or control module  129  using either optional pneumatic timing release relay or control module  172  or manual relay controllers  132  with conventional relay or control module  129 . 
         [0091]    It shall be noted that each midpoint between the distal ends  107  of the housing  101  may include at least one double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic piston  122 , while the distal end  107  of the housing  101  may include at least one magnetic induction generator  140  per distal end  107 . 
         [0092]    The invention  100  may include manual action controllers  132  that are positioned at both distal ends  107  of the housing  101 . The manual action relay controllers  132  operate manually thru piezoelectric means when force is applied to their trigger which sends a command to the relay or control module  129  that regulate the released direction of the compressed gas  126  to pneumatic pistons  122  located at midpoint between the distal ends  107 . Optional automatic relay or control module  129  that works on a timing release relay or control module  172  instead of using distal end relay controllers  132  to input and discharge pressure  139  to and from pneumatic pistons  122  using air hoses  127  interconnected with the relay or control module  129  and to valves  133  on the pneumatic pistons  122 . Pneumatic timing release relay or control module  172  releases gas  126  as pressure  139  to air hoses  127  on a timing release control based on timing action that can continue to do over until ceased by removing current from its coil  142  with time. 
         [0093]    The essential characteristics of the compressed gas and storage invention or apparatus is as followed: a combined heat and power system, the reciprocating bar-based barrel direct energy transferor is designed to work in conjunction with external auxiliary power sources renewable energy sources or other sources of electric supply to generate compressed gas; wherein the compressed gas resource can then be utilized to apply kinetic pressure to an alignment or plural of linear or magnetic induction generators to produce high energy densities and store the electricity for electric users, enabling the device to function as a portable generator and power station since its design allows it to store the energies of independent renewable auxiliary energy sources and apply a fraction of the accumulated energy to generate compressed gas with high volumes of pressure to trigger a plural of novel generators that are standing by at each distal end. In summation, the gas driven generator and storage system collects renewable energies, generates electricity and stores power in all sizes, making it appropriate for multiple applications, including handheld power, home power, regional power and EV-to-grid. 
         [0094]    The barrel housing configuration includes a 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 barrel housing. The interior of the housing is outfitted with double-sided, dual-acting pneumatic piston positioned at the center or midpoint between the distal ends of the housing, 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 chambers of the pistons to traverse the opposing piston rods simultaneously towards their distal end generators. This design will enable the pneumatic pistons to utilize compressed gas to facilitate movement of the piston rods. A drive bar is used as a bridge to interconnect one piston rod to the other. The drive bars allow for the two pneumatic pistons positioned at midpoint between the distal ends of the piezoelectric housing to work in sequential unison when applying kinetic force to distal ended linear or magnetic induction generators. 
         [0095]    In addition, the linear or magnetic induction generators can be aligned in an array—rows and columns—, to trigger each other, where distal end housing comprising of a plural of linear generators can be aligned in an array—columns and rows—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. 
         [0096]    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 stored into electrical energy storage units. The pneumatic pistons are supplied compressed gas from a compressed gas source, which receives electricity from the first electrical energy storage unit, namely the electrical energy storage unit that receives 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 interconnected drive bar inside the barrel housing to awaiting piezoelectric 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 the electrical energy storage units are filled to capacity or the electrical energy storage units are depleted or if the compressed gas resource depletes. 
         [0097]    With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationship for the various components of the invention  100 , to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function, and the manner of operation, assembly and use, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the compressed gas energy storage invention  100 .
