Making Gas Powered Air Compressor

  • I always wanted to have a mobile air compressor that would not be limited by the length of the power cable, I decided to build a compressor that would be driven by an internal combustion engine. I used a 160cc motor, 220l/min pump. The motor stops powering the air pump when the required air pressure is reached, so that the compressor does not have to be switched on continuously, the motor automatically starts powering the air pump when the pressure drops.

    The battery was connected to the usual pre-thermostat used in connected compressors for 230v. After the pressure drops, the pretostat supplies voltage to the electromagnet which increases the engine speed.
    The engine uses a centrifugal clutch that after increasing the speed transmits drive to the pump. It is a budget engine and is not equipped with a charging coil so the battery needs recharging after discharge.
    I recently left the electromagnet on because I wanted to know how long the battery can work. After 22 hours the voltage dropped to 10.3v and the electromagnet was still able to work.

      You can use a diode serial connected to engine coil to charge battery.

      Why didn't you do a direct belt drive and a gas air compressor unloader valve. That would eliminate the battery and throttle solenoid. Still a great job.

    Oh man, such an inspiration. My grandfather used to be like you, there is no thing he couldn't build himself. He did a lot of acetylene/oxygen welding and even helped during building the "Slovnaft" refinery in Bratislava. Although i see lot of things are new after almost 20 years. too bad i became an office rat in my career. Unfortunately he passed away while i was 8 in 1998.. I am very thankful that i can learn from you via these videos.

    I really love the things that you make. I actually have all of the main parts for making this compressor right now. A few years back my neighbor brought over one of the small gas powered air compressor that had some issues. It wasn't a lot of money to get it up and running but it was more than he wanted to spend since he picked it up for $20 at a yard sale. It's been sitting next to my garage ever since. After watching you build the bigger tank has now given me interest in building this. That's small one really didn't do anything for me. Most of all my tools need a lot more air than that.
    I really enjoyed your video look forward to the next one.

    Excellent tutorial video. I built one on a locomotive air tank(100-120 gal.) someone gave me. Made it towable and used it on several jobs. It worked great. The only problem was I never figured out the idle control, so I would do it manually. I also noticed with all that equipment you have there is NO milling machine to do slotting and small cutouts. What a budget operation, lol. Thanks again.

So if you're doing outside work? See the handle/bar? You need a half descent solar panel, small charge controller and that battery will never go bad or low. That's the only thing it's missing.

    An idea of ​​genius! I wanted to build the same thing as you. Your way is better. Me I thought to reload the tank and regulate the pressure with a regulator, the valve would have discharged the air to 8 bars and I would have regulated the pressure wanted with the regulator! I watched the video 10 times to understand the electrical part. You brought me a lot of ideas ...
    You can improve the system with the solenoid, because it consumes too much 12V 0.8A current: 9.6Watts. Try with model aircraft servo motors or reduced motors.

    I just built one of these. Finished the assembly today, but it vibrates like crazy. I have been using the compressor off tank for quite some time, hadn't noticed bad vibration before, but maybe the belt is just too old. My compressor has a mechanical unloader/pressure regulator valve that cuts off at a set point then cuts back in. I may add a throttle control at some point to save a bit on gas, but otherwise i keep it set at 130 cut out and go to work.
