Very cool. Thumbsup

This is another use of recycled VW parts that I like. A self-powered air compressor.

One thing I hate about the internet is how it condenses time, which has the effect of making me feel like a slacker... (Actually, reading Greg's posts has that effect, too) That video doesn't mention if it took 2 months or 10 years.

I've seen a V-8 motor turned into an inline 4 motor and inline 4 compressor. The compressor side had a log manifold leading to a reed block between the motor and the storage tank. Neat contraption. I bet it made some CFM!

That is one cool radial motor.
