Miracle airship tech sustained by DARPA pork trickle

I was struck...

...by the same thought presented at the end of the article. As soon as they presented the problem, I wondered the exact same thing, "Why can't they just compress what they aren't using?" There MUST be some sort of technical issue, because if I (An engineering idiot) can think of that right away, I'm sure some genius has thought of it, too.

So, does anyone know why it wouldn't work?
