home made air reservoir

[homedepotpro]

i want to make an inexpensive air compressor/reservoir for refilling my smaller guns and maybe power a cloud
i might use multiple compressors and i will probably add a regulator or two
im not look for great performance but do you guys think it will totally not work, im aware it may take a while to fill the tank to pressure

It will work, but probably not for very long. Those little emergency compressors aren't meant for continuous use, and tend to burn out quickly when used too much.

just keep the reciept and when it breaks teak it back!

thats gunna take a LONG time to fill btw...
buy two of those suckers... add a 2 check valves and tees

You definitely need a good fan blowing over the motor and pump assembly, otherwise the pump will die out very quickly. Considerering the complications, it's probably more worthwhile to get one off eBay

Hey, with that mini one u posted, something like this might be better, http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Portable-recharg ... dZViewItem or there is this one and it has a 260PSI air compressor http://cgi.ebay.com.au/JUMP-START-900Am ... dZViewItem. Good luck though.

yeah i bought the tank and i realized it gives me a lot of air to work with, it will take a while to charge but once at pressure i think it will take a while to empty. i filled up my pneumatic gun and the tank pressure only dropped like 2psi. the small compressors only have 1.5 gallon tanks or none
