Hi Chio
   Thats a pretty interesting design. Nice work!

Here is a link to some pictures of the two stage compressor I built.
Hopefully
there are enough details shown to reconstruct it but if you have any
questions
let me know. The actual compressor assembly is fairly compact and a drive
line
could be designed in other ways but I wanted to have the motor and compressor
in a compact unit to insert into various models. After seeing your test
results, I added the extra gear ratio to increase the pump speed. Using the
belts allows the drive to slip when maximum pressure is reached. The chain
drive will only operate smoothly when the motor is turning clockwise.
well, let me know what you think : )

I wonder how this compressor stacks up to the others that were
reviewed.  C  S  Soh?

Hi, all pneumatics fans, For some time I've been trying to figure out how to objectively compare the performance of the various air compressor designs especially the ones using the large pneumatic hand pump which seem to be coming into fashion (...)
