I built one like that 30 years ago with an expired propane tank, set up to run 150psi max. Made a stack rig to put it on an old moving dolly, included hose reel and a rack for air gun, tire chuck, etc. Every thing else about the same as yours. I used some leftover (new) 5W20 synthetic motor oil and an oil separator with a drain petcock, 500 psi rating. Cheap, quiet, durable. I gave it to my son a few years ago for tires and such, I don't do many projects any more. Used to build and modify hotrods. Very nice to watch a kindred spirit with a similar sense of humor. Thanks very much for the memory jog.

I built a similar air compressor a few years ago, I needed a ultra quite compressor for airbrushing in the house and off the shelf ultra quite compressors were more than $800. I bought a brand new 2 gallon compressor on sale for $75 to get a known good pressure vessel, pressure switch and safety blow off valve, and slapped on a salvaged fridge compressor and 1 micron micromist oil/water separator from SMC to get the cleanest driest possible air cost less than $160 to build a compressor i cant even hear running from 2 feet away

The oil in the compressor does not always need to be changed: R12, R600a, R22, R290 - mineral oil - suitable for compressor construction R134a, R404a, R407c - ester oil - acid forms due to the moisture in the air being sucked in and dissolves the insulation of the motor winding. You can fill the compressor via the suction line.

A friend of mine used to be a shop fitter, and he once acquired the compressors from 4 of those 6' long, sliding glass topped display freezers from a large independent store. The store actually PAID him to come and take these working freezers away and scrap them, so he yanked out the compressors to keep, then separated out all the different metals, and weighed it all in at the local metal recyclers to get even more money. So in essence, he'd been paid TWICE for the privilege of being given 4 perfectly usable high capacity freezer compressors. :D Anyway, he found a broken 3 phase compressor on a 150L tank going for next to nothing on Facebook Marketplace (He weighed in the damaged cast iron pump and motor from that too, so buying the tank also ended up making him money !). He welded up a box section frame and fitted all the pumps to it on rubber mounts, then bolted that to the tank. The interesting bit was that he got a 1 to 4 air hose splitter and mounted 4 adjustable pressure switches on it with each compressor having it's own switch. This meant that first thing he could manually start the compressors one at a time to avoid the huge start-up power spike of all 4 trying to start at once and tripping the breaker. The start/stop pressures were all set slightly different too, so as he used air the compressors would kick in one at a time. That setup was an absolute beast. The compressors were plumbed into 4 separate tank inlets to avoid unnecessary restrictions, and it had something like a 1.5" ID outlet plumbed directly into his sandblasting cabinet. With all 4 pumps running it could still slowly increase the tanks pressure even WHILE he was constantly using the sandblaster !!! The kicker was that it could do that while making less noise than a Labrador suffering with flatulence ! :D

A syringe that size is usually used for draining blood and other fluids. They also use them for administration of anesthesia. It takes quite a bit to put someone under. Of course in that situation it’s hooked to the IV in the patient’s arm. Yesterday was the last time we used one that size. An older patient came in with pain and inflammation in his elbow which after the scan it was full of fluid. We used a big needle with the big syringe to safely drain his elbow. Much less invasive than cutting into it. Here’s another use that will make your penis hurt. If you have ever seen warnings on certain pills that say if erection last more than 4 hours see a doctor. Well the treatment for this is one of those syringes with a decent size needle stick it into the penis and drain the blood. I have never seen it before but I have read about this and heard stories from other people. Great video. Huge improvement. I hope my answer was helpful.

Basically every "name brand" makes a "quiet" air compressor now... Even harborfreight, atleast in their twin head designs... Although it's always worth checking the stated DB output! Apparently it seems nearly every name brand considers anything 5-DB quiter than their previously really loud compressors sold for decades as qualified for "quiet" marketing, just because they are slighty quieter, but not even comparable to most twin head truly quiet air compressors... Especially when you start looking at 120v units pushing 4 CFM at 90psi plus (or even SCFM nonsense 😒) Alot of the 70-75db plus belt driven designs come to mind... Yes Dewalt those are quiter than your previous model, but still sound like a Detroit Diesel compared to a true quiet design...

Oh and with one of these compressors it’s a benefit to have the start-stop pressure pretty high since they work well at high pressures, but make sure your tank won’t explode and such from too much pressure of bad condition.

For my second compressor I bought a larger 20 gal with a belt run pump ($4-500 range, but it had good performance numbers and relatively quiet. Plus I later augmented my fixed air lines with an additional removable tank). I got really annoyed with the water that would come out of the system, more cause I didn’t want it to go into my tires, but also my tools, so I got a cheap (I think it was like $15?) transmission cooler, got the appropriate copper tubing & a decent filter and threw that all between the pump and the tank. Positioned the cooler in front of the belt guard which is in front of the fan that runs off the motor and viola. Pulls lots, dare I say effectively all detectable?, water from the compressed air & cools the charged air down so it’s even denser in the tank. Didn’t take long, wasn’t expensive (most expensive part was the filter/ / air/water separator - scoured eBay for a while looking for a good enough one that was heavily discounted) & keeps my lines & tanks virtually moisture free (some builds up, but only after a lotttt of use). It’s awesome. Always wanted a faster pump without breaking the bank. Will have to check out some fridge compressors - thanks!

The drain valve is off center. You will have a permanent puddle in the tank that can't drain unless you tilt it while draining.

I was under the impression that those compressors were higher pressure, but very slow. Hmm, Maybe I could do this with a slightly larger tank and 2 compressors running in parallel for increased CFM. Love the video. You gained a sub. :)

Find the biggest 120v appliance like an ice machine that pulls as close to 15amps and that should be the biggest rated compressor of this type. I used one from an Ice machine.

@@DimMakTen31 True! But where are you going to find a perfectly good ice machine that nobody wants, just to scavenge a compressor from. Ice machines usually run A LOT!, refrigerators run about 30-50% on-off, but ice runs about 80% on, that is a lot more wear and tear on the valves before the total machine failed. Not impossible, just don't be holding your breath.

@@DimMakTen31 True, The compressor in the OP's project already runs at about 9-10A, and 50A during start, Not a lot of margin for a bigger compressor unless you go with a 20A breaker, wire, and outlet dedicated, as ICE is supposed to be on a dedicated circuit because of the electrical demand. 100% run should only consume 80% of available electrical capacity, preferably less.

That is a three-wire compressor, you would only need 1 of the capacitor. @ 7:33 you only needed to unplug the overload and unscrew the ground wire, not unplug all the individual wires, as it can only be plugged in one way. It's a nice scrappy build, I am sure others got some useful info here.

the motor runs on dc so the compressor needs a full bridge rectifier to run it you can tell (most of the time) whether a motor is ac or dc by how many wires it has going to it and the color of the wires, a dc compressor should only have two wires going to it, one black and one red

9:37 Caution! Stuffing a fat wallet in any pocket will eventually mess up your hips and back. Ironically, it's the diagonal opposite area that goes. So, your left rear wallet stuff will result in right hip pain. I was a left front guy and buggered my right sciatic nerve and butt. My dad was a right rear guy and had left hip trouble. His chiropractor clued us in and now I get to tell you. I now mix it up when I have to and carry when I can.

old video but that rectifier is indeed for the compressor motor, that looks to me like a brushed motor and while they *can* run on AC as seen in so called universal motors of vacuum cleaners and corded drills, theres no stator winding on that one from what i can tell so it only can run off DC (as with a stator magnet the commutator flips the AC rapidly but itll never sync up with a magnet while a stator winding will be in sync as in the stator field is opposing to the rotor field)

why they used that instead of an induction motor i honestly have no clue, perhaps since it has to be so small and also spin really fast, induction motors are big if they need torque, the kinda motor youd see on a furnace blower or large air compressor instead

Another way to acquire even bigger compressors . Find a local hvac company . They usually have a scrap man junkies all the a.c units for them. The company doesn't have time tearing units down to sell for scrap . 90% of the time you can get some kick ace compressors . Not to mention relays and what not. Chain 3 scroll compressors together with sequentially wired relays and bam you have a high cfm ultra quiet compressor. 240v but you can find some 115 v compressors as well . For free . Some big units you can get some vfds in the blower unit as well . Just depend if the hvac company is industrial or residential . I've found that most the units are fully functional just bad circuit boards . Which with little probing can be fixed easy . The bords controlling these units can be re-mapped for any other projects with nothing but wire strippers and screw drivers .

If that is in fact an A/C motor, than that wasn't a Bridge Rectifier and was more likely a Thermal Overload to protect the motor if it tries to draw too many Amps... It and the Fuse should be kept because they are both there for VERY good reasons...though you may need to swap them out for larger versions if the Fridge Compressor pulls more Amps than the Harbor-Freight Compressor does...check the Fridge Electronics box, it may have the same components properly sized for the larger compressor...

in 10 minutes runtime on mine, i had burned up the switch, popped the odd ac to dc rectifer, lost a total of 3 THREE thhe- reee crimp spade connectors that caused one wire to short 120v ac to bare metal (aka red powdercoating) and after fixing, it got so hot in the cylinder that friction coating rubbed off and went immediately to zero compression. i got a aftermarket WARN mini compressor for locking air differentials, mounted it and added a powerful fan and set cutoff/ on to 120psi/150psi. 3 years nonstop use and perfectly good. the tank itself is thick with excellent welds, rated at 500psi burst and 300psi max.
