I have built a small static engine based on Mrpete222's video tutorial but I have no boiler or compressor to run it on. I have had it running at work on compressed air and I've also had it run from a wallpaper steamer but this is far from ideal.
I don't fancy buying a compressor but I have a set of spare car wheels in the shed and that gave me an idea. Has anyone built a low pressure compressor using a car tyre inflator and a tyre (or 2, 3 or 4) as the tank?
I don't need any more than about 20 psi so I reckon if I plumb in a simple tap this may run a small engine for a while.
What do people think, is this feasible?
