Miniature air compressor project

[zenith12]

I billed this mini air compressor to run model steam engines . It’s built on a old air brush compressor tank that my mom gave me . I have had the pump for 6 or 7
Years I got it a a swap meet when I was 9 or10 and I got the little motor from eBay in November of last year and I thought that they my look good together and they did so here it is.

I know someone else that runs steam engines from compressed air-opposite scale.The steam engines in the Centennial Exhibit at the Smithsonin in Wash DC-they use two Dayton 100Hp rotary screw compressors!
