PSI, Amps
I aquired a 130 Amp Delco alt to install into the Jeepster, and am
considering different (cheap) ways of supplying compressed air without a
belt-driven unit. I have looked at some pricey compressors like these,
http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/compressors.html but am considering another
method.
Is anyone using a power inverter and a 110V AC compressor? They have a
little one with a tank at the parts store for $66 now, and the savings will
help towards a portable welder.
I guess I better drive the rig down and check amperage and how fast it will
bring a 35 from 10 to 32 PSI, but i think the alt should handle it.

Re: PSI, Amps
Hi Paul,
I don't think you realize just how small those compressors are,
Like did you play with an .049 model airplane engine as a kid? They are
designed to pressurize a motorhome water tank.

It was a cute little thing, kind of like this one,
http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...ctId=200219824
I have an HPLV from a Goldwing airshocks, it takes 20 minutes to fill a 35
from 10 to 30 PSI, I could live with 5 minutes, but it's not worth $300 to
me.

For that unit you would need about 300 watts from the inverter, that's about
25 amps on the 12 volt side. It could work.
