![]() It is an air and electric starter cart.
It can make 72kw of electric and a few hundred kw worth of hot compressed air. Then it sucks down about a gallon of jet fuel every 2 minutes at idle. |

![]() I was doing some clean up after doing some electrical so I plugged in my big shop vac to a receptacle that I had just finished working on but had not stuffed back inside the wall.
Here is what the 14 gauge wires looked like after running the shop vac for about 5 minutes. |

Curious that the weak point is the connector (plug). -AC

![]() Oh yes the plug and receptacle connection point is always the weak point.
I use the decent $2 each receptacles (not the 54 cent or $1 each cheap-o receptacles) and I do not use the push connectors, I strip the wire, hook it and secure it with the screw. |

![]() Here is my 8 gallon air compressor doing work. I needed lots of air and had not ran this thing in a few months so I figured I would drag it out.
Its a 5hp 30+ year old briggs and Stratton. The compressor is a siamese twin cylinder. Uses most of what little power the 5hp engine can make. This is the compressor I want to replace. The tanks are rusted from years of having the drains replaced with pipe plugs (not by me). I have a Honda GX200 engine and I was going to make the air tank about 12 gallons and I was going to use the same compressor unit, just drive it a little faster with a bigger engine pulley. |
