Does the current proposal include multiple shop compressors?

So it's a normal compressor with a very short stroke length?

What do you mean by that?

I would like to be able to use it without a pressurized input, so that I can take it places where I may not have access to a compressor.

Yes, I don't know what stroke length is neccessary though, I was originally going to have 1/4" piston, but am thinking that I could go to 1/2". I guess that also gbvdepends on the stroke length.
