What happens when you find a junk 125 PSI 3 gallon compressor off the side of the road and mix in some scrap parts from a refrigeration unit? You get this!
The compressor is from a dehumidifier, and it's wired into the factory pressure cutoff switch. It can not only compress air, but it can also pull a mighty vacuum if I were to make a special fitting for the intake. I do need to add a regulator and a check valve because sometimes air creeps past the pump and leaks out the intake, but those are future additions. I had to make a new fitting to adapt two line sizes, but that didn't take long and I already had the compression fitting pieces.

Video showing how quiet it is coming shortly. You could hear a church mouse sleeping over it once it hits 20 PSI or so.
