It’ll be amazing if it works but I really want to see this in action. Last time I saw anything like this in person you had to pedal like fuck to power a light bulb.
From an efficiency standpoint sure, but then a person has to be able to consistently put out the amount of power the compressor is designed for at the times the compressor needs to run. At least with a storage system the work doesn’t have to be done at the same time it needs to be used.
These sorts of things can definitely work but you can also make one at home without a ton of trouble. Basically all generators/motors are is some magnets and coiled up wire. There are kits you can use to regulate the voltage and hook them up to battery banks.
I’ve used stuff like that in airport amdntrain stations to charge phone. I’ve also tried to plug my laptop in it but it was way to hard, I could not do more than 10 min for my laptop but I could probably keep it running with a bit more practice.

If it was really to power the fridge then it would be better to turn the compressor directly rather than with electricity?

That’s an interesting thought. You could store pressure in a tank. I wonder how efficient that would be?

There is no way most people can easily make this at home without a ton of trouble.
If.you have the idea test it at home first, instead of some artists concept. With a working modle you can see what the real issues are.
