So its the limit, at scale. Build a big compressor, run a bigger machine with artificial muscle, the weight of the compressor becomes a small part of the whole.

Pneumatic to kinetic energy is much less efficient than electric to kinetic, so you're going to waste a lot of energy. And I guess the body is even better at energy efficiency
But apparently the efficiency of these muscle fibres are greater than that of electric ones. So maybe a win?
