![Air is pumped into the Outer Airform, using the Air Pressure Hose, forcing the Inner Airform to pipe out methane gas that will be used to fuel a generator. The generator will provide electrical power to the entire farm/ranch.](/vault/img/2012/06/25/4fe8b5ebc29e06cb16000005/medium/MonolithicStorageBubbleStep7.jpg)
