I just looked up the formula for the stored energy in the air compressor's tank. Turns out to be quite a lot - more than 192,000 foot-pounds of stored energy. It's enough to lift my pick-up truck about 38 feet in the air, and I don't imagine it would be much good as a truck after that.
Guess I'd better be careful around that thing!
I used the equation here, if you're interested:
