That's actually a very practical design... unlike most of the other builds on this channel. They are fun, but not really safe and practical. This compressor is seemingly quite safe, silent, decently powerful and even good looking.... Good job!
Keep in mind that A/C compressors rely on cold temperatures from the low pressure suction line to keep the compressor's "head" cool. If run for prolonged periods of time, you may burn up the compressor. Outside air contains moisture which mixes with the oil in the compressor to form acids, which will eventually eat up the windings.
Also, doesn't the recycled refrigerant contain, or act as a lubricant that free air would not. I would think over time corrosion would develop and lock the compressor up.
When I watch one of your videos I always think "Well that will be hard to beat!" Then you turn around with a video like this one and I get blown away once again. I bow to you and your friends, you are far greater than I as a mere mortal.
hello hun they work in basically the same way although both need oil. And a fridge compressor can get high pressure but it will take longer to pump up a tank like that
Normaly to avoid failure on the connection between the compressor and the tank, either copper pipe or cooling of the air is used before using rubber as it is prone to melt
Max Maker I have a quite loud compressor too (95db) and it was unbearable with those cheap foam earplugs what I did is I bought a good pair of the over the ear ones for 12$ on Amazon and now it's fine
Max Maker - I was in the same situation. Then I bought a California Air Tools compressor. It's so quiet that you & I could be standing on opposite sides of the compressor with it on and have no trouble holding a conversation without shouting. Provides a TON more air than my previous unit of the same size too. (Old one had a muffler box I built for it plus over-the-head (3m worktunes) hearing protection and it was *still* uncomfortably loud) FYI, Menards has them on clearance for only like $150; some of the best money I spent in the shop. =)
that tank has as a pressure safe limit of about 500psi.. not that you would ever run it that high.. they working at 150 psi.. so it's all good... the only hazard I can see.. I would have coated the tank on it's insides. air pressure vessels tend to rust..... so scope the internals once a year.
water test to 25 bar ~ 800 psi. Assuming that test verified return to initial volume after testing, that's a pretty good test. Comment about internal corrosion is valid but the upright design, with drain at the bottom will minimize the effects, provided the condensate in the tank is bled out regularly.
A MIG may be difficult. Arc would be simple and has been done with MOT's (microwave oven transformers). You could probably make a flux core wire welder fairly easily.

Hello bro, i do the same with you just like this, and when i look this video i just want to ask you about the oil of this compressor, is that true that you always put some oil in the compressor every day if you use it every day ?? Because i did like that everyday. Please let me know. Thanks.
Hello there! I´m an HVAC Engineer and i have to say your build has two major flaws! 1. The HVAC compressor is filled with esteroil witch react with oxygen and will produce acid and alkohol. The acid will damage the motor winding over time. 2. The HVAC compressor is designed to throw out oil to lubricate the other parts of the air conditioning cycle. This oil will be in your tank together with oxygen and condens water from the compressed air. This will render the oil unusable! You should change the oil as fast as possible and additionally build in an oil recovery system! Apart from that is your idea pretty good! The tanks from air conditioner are build for very high pressure up to 26bar (370psi). The compressor is made for this so you could make a very high pressure tank out of that! Would be pretty smart to use this high pressure system for CNC tool changer or similar high pressure work! Keep up your work, really like your builds! :) /edit never mind, just saw how old this video is :)
Also, using ATF (automatic transmission fluid), my silent fridge compressor AC has lasted over a year and a half with zero signs of any problems. I think it will last for decades if I use it every once in a while to keep all the parts covered in oil.
it will work great but the amount of litres per minit is really low. so for the nail tacker and if you want to blow of dust it will work for sanding drilling and a air hammer it cant keep up.
what is that fitting that screws into the tank where the air from the compressor enters the tank ? i want to build my own compressor but i dont know what this part is called
hola encuentro espectacular lo que haces, yo tambien hago cosas asi, pero por falta de espacio no tengo donde tener mis herramientas, encuentro que tienes ideas fabulosas, sigue asi que quiero siempre ver mas
in the words of the AvE "You do not fuck with pressure vessels" if that thing goes when you're anywhere near it you WILL die. Now I'm sure you are professionals and know what you're doing but people who might replicate you are not. So please whoever gets the bright idea of making your own, don't, your life isn't worth a 300$ air compressor
Nice and clever idea, utilized a used gas tank and an air conditioner compressor, i think it's a good choice for a light duty compressor, better to reused than waste away, but You must careful with the pressure limitation, I don't see (in this video) any heat treatment to the tank to recover it's strength after it had welded, the biggest ac compressor for outdoor unit (home used) are around 2 PK, though it's silent but strong enough to blow the tank trough welded fittings after a time and then compressor will be follow soon due to lack of lubrication and ingestion of unfiltered destructive particles. need a little tweak but it's cool anyway .
Upsss..! i guess that if this device were not made just for shooting a video, he could recover most of the outcoming oil in a separator and then inject it in the compressor intake by some mean.
@@henryrollins9177 yes, this have to be done when using this kind of motors, without reinjecting the oil through the air inlet, soon or late, the compressor will stop working
I'd like to see this channel live up to its name and make one of those Chevy 350 compressors where the engine runs on 6 cylinders, the V8 intake manifold is replaced with a 4.3 liter V6 manifold, the ignition is replaced with a V6 distributor, the front two cylinders act as the air compressor, and two front the spark plugs are replaced with check valves. There's nothing "extreme" about a 1 CFM air compressor, but a 200+ horsepower compressor, that's a whole different story!
Hello i would like to ask how did you solve the oil problem that occurs with these compressors.... Also i noticed that you removed the muffler. Is any particular reason for that?And what is the pressure for the relief valve? Regards Panagiotis

Fuck it. if it shits out just get another scrap compressor.
That's what he'll have to do. :-)
Also, doesn't the recycled refrigerant contain, or act as a lubricant that free air would not. I would think over time corrosion would develop and lock the compressor up.
Yeah. I doubt that compressor lasted more than a few weeks past this video...
You are right. What's Solution bro
Good job guys! :)
Ty tu?
I am in awe ... both of your mindset and your craft.
When I watch one of your videos I always think "Well that will be hard to beat!" Then you turn around with a video like this one and I get blown away once again. I bow to you and your friends, you are far greater than I as a mere mortal.
Don't those AC compressors need oil, which normally circulates with the Freon?
hello hun Yes. You can drip it in through the air intake after this modification is done.
yeah they do this one prolly will burn out soon without oil ....HVAC tech
still pretty cool
I've seen videos of people using fridge compressors, would they work better?

I wish my air compressor would be that silent. Even with hearing protection its unbearable.
Max Maker I have a quite loud compressor too (95db) and it was unbearable with those cheap foam earplugs what I did is I bought a good pair of the over the ear ones for 12$ on Amazon and now it's fine
p-star 7 But in internet markets, they sell very silent compressors and sometimes very cheap. Over 30 dB.
Scrap ́N ́ Roll yea you can go that route too but sometimes those silent ones can be kinda expensive

That was awesome!
Thank you!
Uncoded welding on a pressure vessel. You made a bomb 💣
burocrata!!!!
best DIY channel on YT.
wow!!! Awesome Build!👏👏👏
You should make a mig welder next. Would be interesting to see what you guys could come up with
...a coil plugged into mains?
(a simple transformer can be used for stick welding...)
Microwave.. :)
You can make a TIG welder out of an car alternator.... he could do that. That would be a neat build to see on the channel.
A MIG may be difficult. Arc would be simple and has been done with MOT's (microwave oven transformers). You could probably make a flux core wire welder fairly easily.
Two car batteries and you can arc weld.
Olá Make it Extreme sou daqui do brasil curtu muitos seus projetos parabens.

cool idea as a home compressor - because it's really quiet. Nice build, as always!
nice.. and it's super quiet. good job
This channel deserves more subscribers....
Estupendo , magnífico trabajo felicidades, gran edición de video
Costruisci delle ottime cose, complimenti alle buone idee e alle realizzazioni!
The best diy channel ever !!!
how much time is taking to make 8 bar
probably 30min this kind of compressor is a wast of electric power
this channel is unique !
awesome as always.
Thank you!
Vocês são os melhores entre todos os melhores. Parabéns a todos.
next: make an air conditinner from an old compressor !
i guess is possible
u only need 2 fans 2 radiators 1 small tank and 1 compressor
You also need the refrigerant
And a expansion device too
I have always thought about making my own Air Conditioner just for fun and to see how much it can cool.
Молодцы. Хорошая работа.
That is a work horse. Awesome my friend👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊

they make it look so easy
my new favorite channel
I was waiting for this one. well design.
:)
Absolutely F***ing amazing
I can't believe how professional u guy's r
YOu're genius man.
It's always a good day when you find a new extreme made video :)
Oh. I amazing it is great 👍👍👏👏

ES UN GENIO.. UN GRANDE ..
VERY, VERY GOOD!!!!!
Thank you!
You're always welcome with your ideas !!!
Nice job, well build mate
What type of welding do you use?
what is that fitting that screws into the tank where the air from the compressor enters the tank ? i want to build my own compressor but i dont know what this part is called
You need to change the oil wich was in it.
It will not work with moisture.
You sir are a very talented man :-)
IMPRESIONANTE como todos tus vídeos que subes!!! un saludo desde España
woooooow I liked your jab man
very nice job.
Straight to the point. Great job. Would be interesting to see if one could be made without a welder
El compresor sirve el de heladera ?
Very good !
Μπραβο ρε παιδια ειδα και το ποδηλατο φανταστικη η εμπνευση σας ...μαθαινω !!!!εαν ερθω Κυπρο θα ηθελα να σας γνωρισω !!!
Soon he is going to build Space Ship
hola encuentro espectacular lo que haces, yo tambien hago cosas asi, pero por falta de espacio no tengo donde tener mis herramientas, encuentro que tienes ideas fabulosas, sigue asi que quiero siempre ver mas
Good evening. Your work is distinctive and professional. I wish you success and success
👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Great
Job
I need one, works very well. Great project guys!
Thank you man!
You are making a bomb!
Good job.
I love the design with the 2 wheels and the 3rd leg. Excellent job!
Thank you for sharing, always as perfect your achievements
Merci pour votre partage, toujours aussi parfaite vos réalisations
what material's did you use, and what are the spec's on this?
Like it before you watch it cause you know it's gonna be dank
in the words of the AvE "You do not fuck with pressure vessels" if that thing goes when you're anywhere near it you WILL die. Now I'm sure you are professionals and know what you're doing but people who might replicate you are not. So please whoever gets the bright idea of making your own, don't, your life isn't worth a 300$ air compressor
they load it so fast ?
Great job!!!
*MAGIC!*
YEAH !! That's it. congratulations !
very nice as always. Maybe you can add an oil separator after the regulator, that way you can use it for painting as well.
Can you put a fridge compressor on a 30 gallon tank? I notice people usually mount them on smaller tanks
What type of welder is that ???? Nice work
A compressor of this type worked in my workshop for 3 years. He easily pumped 15 atmospheres.
One remark is a very small receiver.
Very nice review and job
I want to make air compressor like yours. Whether you can tell me what materials are needed as well as drawings of work and also the cost required
just loved it!great job man!greetings from Greece!
géniale mon ami c'est super
just i want to say u guys are awesome ,and soon going to reach 1m subss😊

That fridge compressor is a bloody ripper
Window air conditioning compressor certainly simplifies things... thanks
Wonderful!
good build! Seems like a long refill time
Wonder how long that ac compressor is going to last with no oil return?
originalusernamefail. hey that's what i was thinkin.
Upsss..! i guess that if this device were not made just for shooting a video, he could recover most of the outcoming oil in a separator and then inject it in the compressor intake by some mean.
Maybe this design is one of those Chinese oiless works of art :D
@@henryrollins9177 yes, this have to be done when using this kind of motors, without reinjecting the oil through the air inlet, soon or late, the compressor will stop working
well done
that was awesome
Thank you!
*Hi, can you explain how do you make the pressure test with water ? Thank's*
www.airdive.com.au/hydrostatic-test-panels.html
See this link maybe overkill for low pressure.
liquidpumpcatalog.haskel.com/
this is the pumps they use. Cheers
Man this is good
Thank you!

8 kgs of presssure? thats cool for home using!! thanks guyzzz,your the bests!
Buen trabajo muchachos..
Πολύ ωραία δουλειά παιδιά,φοβερός τρόπος εργασίας όπως πάντα.
very nice
Hi guys awesome project ,i have a question what kind pf welding transforms do u use?
looking good
Espectacular!!!
