Work it out. Find the density of air and away you go. Work done is force multiplied by distance moved, in Newtons, metres kilograms in my case. Your units might be a bit more difficult - foots, pounds, BTU's etc.
Keep in mind Albert Betz, of course, who said you can't extract more than about 59% of the dynamic energy of the air, as you have to stop it to do that, as then there would be nowhere for the air to go without giving it back some kinetic energy!(probably not make any difference here but needs to be kept in mind by any potential wind turbine builders)
You will not find it much as you may, or probably may not, be aware that the typical brick house design is about 4 1/2 psi in your units.
Bales are a different problem. The force needed to roll a bale can be far less than picking it up against the force of gravity. That is why wheels were invented.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
