Air Compressors Using
8475 RC Buggy Motor/s |
| This page will feature air
compressors using the RC Buggy motors. These motors are much more
powerful than the standard or geared motors and are a boon to
compressor designers. |

| Instant
Mini Air Compressor using RC Buggy Motor |
Here's a quickie mini-compressor
that you can rig up in less time than it takes to cook instant
noodles. Using the inner motor output shaft, the geometry is just right for
full compression of the small pump. It was able to drive my 2-cylinder
engine effortlessly surpassing Ralph's improved double-acting pump. I reckon it
will serve as the new benchmark for pump testing.

| The design
actually suggested of itself. Normally, one would use the outer motor output shaft. But I was struck by the exact geometry using the inner motor output shaft and the small pump. Is it a fortuitous coincidence or is it an intended design by TLC? |
Free running, the inner motor
output shaft turns at 1540-1580 rpm. With the mini pump unloaded, it
runs at 1440-1460 rpm. And with the mini pump driving the 2 cylinder
engine, it runs at 1320-1340 rpm. It does run warm at the high rev, so it may merit a Surgeon-General’s
WARNING: Prolonged usage may be detrimental to the health of your pump.

And as suggested by
LUGNET fans (no pun intended), here's one with added air cooling
system ;-) |
