Well I went crazy with one of my creative spells the last few days . Thomas Edison once said all you need to invent is a little imagination and a big pile of junk. My imagination was sparked by a similar project that was by Firebird and I happened to have the needed pile of junk LOL. Well I "Invented" a compressor . I put together the compressor from an old refrigerator and used a fire extinguisher as a tank and as they say in the UK a few bits and bobs that were around the house. salvaged screws from the boat yard ,salvaged cans of spray paint, bicycle inner tubes that leaked 2x4s from packing crate etc. I still want to add some upgrades like a safety blow off valve and an auto on/off pressure switch.Yes I did have to pick up a couple Items new from the hardware store. In initial testing it will fill the tank to 100 psi in about 40 seconds. Well here is a peek.
It will be great for doing demos with my air engines in venues that do not have air lines set up . And will come in handy at home and shop as well. One of the beauties of this setup, it is whisper quiet.
CAUTION this is not a completed design it is a work in progress
