Hey there, I hear many concerns about this project. Like anything else I do this can be dangerous. And just like anything else I make there are other and better ways to accomplish same or better results. As some pointed out in comments these cans are not made to be re-filled many times, fatigue induced fracture from repeated cycling might be an issue. I leave my compressor on the floor when airbrushing so in case that happens it won't be near my face. Thank you for watching!
Ive done somthing similar to a small workshop compressor, by adding an old propane tank. I found the pump can over heat when filling the tanks. I may try adding a fan or adding some sort of additional heatsink/vaning to the pump head.
Love the safety reminder about used fuel cans ,any type of fuel ! Tank can be a large single tank (freon , helium , etc .) in the U.S. the heavier walled propane tanks (bernz-o-matic ) multiple smaller tanks can have a manifold made from plumbing tees, and nipples if the ability , tools , or material to match yours is not available . Outstanding idea for improving a compressors performance .
This is a really cool and interesting build. Sure, a single storage tank would work and be easier. But, you ain't about the easy life, you've got sick projects to build. Awesome work
Terrific idea. I used a 2 gallon air tank from an old air compressor for my airbrush tank. I have a Badger air compressor. It takes a minute or two to fill tank and it works great.
Be aware that this cans arent meant to expand and contract so many times, the material aint projected to such material fatigue. If I were you, i'd reinforce the cans "case" that you made. But, nice idea!
Airbrush work at low pressures so the can's are almost certainly fine - Personally I'd just have used fizzy drink type bottles being cheap, up to the pressure and having that harder plastic lid to affix fittings for the hoses too.
@@tcarney57 As PVC breaks in a similar way to glass, I'd not recommend that. Though normal plumbing pipes should take these low pressure just fine - fizzy drinks bottle plastic deform very plasticly (so no sharp shards) when then fail so if it did fail (which with this pressure level is unlikely). Much safer than something more prone exploding into sharp shards. If you do build any questionable pressure chamber a thin screen of anything at all is highly recommended - even just some old fabric loosely secured will make it safer, hopefully catching any bottle rocket or shrapnel moments enough to prevent injury. Even low pressure can be dangerous, but under 50psi (airbrushes are usually in the 30-40psi ballpark) is pretty safe. Please don't go playing with higher pressures if you don't know what you are doing!
What about a FREE helium tank that was empty so you didn't have to deal with the flammable gas issue. You will have to deal with the plumbing but I think that is Beyer than those cans. It did look like he tried to put threads onto the numb he attached that hose to. The question i.e. was that intentional or just a result of a failed previous attempt as it want on the prototype and it want filmed as if his earlier failure with leaks was intend intentionally hidden. I wonder if wrapping it in duct tape would make an "unexpected immediate decompression" slightly less dangerous? Would it catch the shratenal or just make the decompression occur with more force?
Yes, finally a cheap compressor with a tank. And I thought I can't get one under 150 bucks. PS: I actually didn't realize it was you till the end, nice to see that you make scale models too.
Please invest in a counter-sink-bit. The burrs on the threads are awfull. So many DIY youtubers don't countersink their holes before threadcutting and it hurts me every time
if the coil of tape is inverted so that it is wound from the top and not from the bottom, it will be much more convenient to wind it. sorry for my English .
This is a very clever setup. My concern may be unfounded, but I would primarily just be worried that having those tanks so tightly packed together could cause an explosion if expansion occurs. Just for the sake of comfort, it might be worth spacing them out a little more. Regardless, great way to save money if you know the risk attached.
Very clever.... Harbor Freight makes a 5 gallon portable air tank that they sell for $30, and they almost always have a 20% off coupon..... Works really good.... I've been using one on my airbrush forever.....
hey! you should consider putting a one way valve on the main inlet tube, the one that goes to of the compressor. then you could fill the tanks, unplug them and take only the tanks with you. I'm not certain how much you could do with that, but for small jobs, it would be smaller and lighter to carry around.
The cans will split at the seams when they go, not explode! So there is no real danger of splinters flying around. I copied your design but glued in niples on the cans as I didn't get the hoses to stay airtight. Pity there is no way of sending you a picture or two of my solution. I'm still short two cans for the project, but will get there in time. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I find the use of hose clamps for compressed air ... disturbing... put wheels on the box so if one does let go, it will self-propel around the shop till the air runs out.
I've seen hose clamps used on smaller barbs to hold hose fittings on that see 100 psi on the regular, they're plenty strong. The clear hosing used in this case is probably the weakest component here.
@@littlejackalo5326 for water, hose clamps are a thing. In safe industry, crimped air connectors are normally mandated, or captive type where more pressure equals a better grip.
Nem precisava desse bloco de aluminio. Era so usar uns Ts que ja existem no mercado. Ainda mais ai na sua terra q tem tudo. De qualquer forma, ficou muito bom
Just keep in mind that while you expand your capacity it also means you increase the duty cycle (time running) on the motor and the pump and if it is beyond what it is rated for it might increase wear and tear.
Keep it charged after the first time and the recharges won't be quite as bad on it. I see your point and where you're going but it may not be quite as big a deal as you're thinking
This is one of the best diy i've ever seen! Nice work man 😁Thanks a lot! One more thing, is it possible to just drill a holes on each tanks then insert the connectors to them in series?
It is built into the compressor itself, it senses when it is up to pressure and shuts itself off. In the case of airbrush compressors, that is when you dont have your finger depressing the trigger.
Very clever! Meanwhile I'm over here figuring out the best way to fabricate a bracket to cover the intake of my job site pancake air compressor so I can convert it into a vacuum pump. I wanna do some fiberglass resin infusion.
@Indosarnia it's called fabrication. I always enjoy calling it "making chicken salad out of chicken shit" cause taking random junk and making it useful requires ingenuity and a "good recipe" You have to improvise to solve a problem as quick, effective and inexpensive as possible. I'd much rather be stranded in the zombie apocalypse with him creating ways to survive than someone calling everything they see stupid...
Im kinda mad at myself for not putting screws through the rubber cups on legs of mine. I took them out and bolted it down to bar stock. May have been better for compressor
I would imagine one of those hose clamps would fail in the event of over-pressurization. Even so, putting some sides on that wood frame would be a good precaution.
Out of curiosity, why not just use an old fire extinguisher, paintball canister, scuba tank, propane/oxygen/mapp cylinder, or some other larger sturdy tank? Was it just availability? Surely if this is to be a permanent installation you'd want something a bit more robust. I mean, if it works, it works. It just seems a bit like a spare tire, a temporary solution meant to provide some needed function only until a proper solution can be implemented.
spray cans hold mostly liquid form contents (yes, even torch "gas" ) so they don't need to be able to take much pressure and should not be used as pressure vessels even for a low criticality application like spray painting.. In any case, for a little airbrush, if the settings are correct on both brush and compressor, it doesn't actually need a tank, and can operate continuously off the compressor.. Your compressor just happens to be very loud- mine is incredibly quite and just makes a quiet whirring sound- the air filter unit in the room is louder..
I would suggest a valve to release the pressure when you are done. Leaving compressed air in a container like that unless you pulled ALL the water out of it will cause water build up in your tanks.
Tutti i progetti che fai sono molto belli. Bravo. Questo è l'unico che mi lascia un po' perplesso. Le lattine vuote mi sembrano pericolose, magari 99 volte non capita niente e la 100 esima....
Please. Nobody do this. For what it would cost between a compressor, hoses, clamps, and the cans you can buy a super quiet compressor with a tank already on it that’s safely designed and assembled.
An old propane tank would´ve been much safer! I use one as a portable air tank for filling car tires, as my compressor does not live near our cars. Empty one-way O2 bottles work also (mini oxy-acetylene kits), not much larger than those cans, but as they are made for holding 100bars, albeit only for one filling, they have quite some safety margin.

Smells like the A-Team. Love it!

And something to stop the cans at their bottom, those connections with the hoses look weak AF (small surface + hose clamp at an angle)
So ur sayin he made a compression pipe bomb?! Lol

What a great idea to extend its capabilities.
How would you remove the moisture from inside the tanks

Super cool idea. If I had the tools I would make this. Love your videos!
Interesting solution. We featured this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
1:03, I usually decide to like at the end, but sometimes it just earns it.
Just thinking of making something similar but using 4 bike wheels as the tank 😂👍
Man that was awesome. I especially liked watching you create the 5 way valve. Very cool - I'm not one to leave comments either. :)
🤔 very interesting and helpful to me, thank you 👍🏽
Excellent working

Your English is good enough to be understood . Your suggestion is absolutely right.

My man! Put a zenithal highlight on that mini! Look it up, if needs be. A great technique that gives amazing results for low effort!
You gotta use the zenithal highlight shading bruh. Game changer for paint models and figures.
Коннектор огонь! ))) Спасибо за видео!
That's a pretty sweet idea
Hi I know nothing about anything. What kind of drillbit are you using to drill through that solid metal? That's amazing

Andrew Pratt,
If you put the wheels on an angle , it will spin in place . 😁
It just seems like they wouldn't work to normal people, but if you're in the industry you'd know it's very common, safe, and effective.
@@littlejackalo5326 for water, hose clamps are a thing. In safe industry, crimped air connectors are normally mandated, or captive type where more pressure equals a better grip.
Nice, Is possible use those compressor to vacuum chamber? By turn input and output. Thanks!

I want to do the same but with just 1 old extinguisher, Can i use the same intake as outtake withe a valve?
Well done sir. Well done.
Any reason why you connect the tanks before the waterfilter instead of after?
Now you're a proper mad scientist...
Good Work, bye bye...Wellington-Brazil
You should put the pressure valve or else the cans will explode
Might have been better to try and use one or two of those propane camping stove cans/mini-tanks. Those green cans are really sturdy.
Amana Wolf no green tank in Italy: only blue ones so he cannot satisfy your request
Even if this thing could provide enough pressure to do that, these vinyl hoses would be gone long before that :)
40 to 50 psi max will never explode anything except a balloon His is 100 percent safe for a lifetime.
Just keep in mind that while you expand your capacity it also means you increase the duty cycle (time running) on the motor and the pump and if it is beyond what it is rated for it might increase wear and tear.

I literally just watch origins tonight that's fucking hilarious 😂😂 I'm re-watching the entire series from beginning to end
What are your thoughts about volume? Was the single 600ml can enought? How is it compared to 2.4l?
I use two liter plastic soda bottles. They are rated for up to 200 psi.
Very Black Beard indeed :) Pretty creative.

try Co2 extinguisher bottle and a one way valve .. salutes

This is brilliant
Cool idea,but with another tank,just to hold and be safe with the pressure.
7:31 BBP: tabletop gamer confirmed 🤓
Didn’t know you did warhammer or miniature painting in general, you should make a channel only for that

What is the name and size of the t fitting
Que duración tiene el tanque de aire.
I would imagine one of those hose clamps would fail in the event of over-pressurization. Even so, putting some sides on that wood frame would be a good precaution.
I did a Similar thing in the 90s with a 60 L compressor and a propane gas tank
I know it's not in keeping with modern tech, but a good car/bike tyre foot pump will serve you better for charging up a reservoir.
Damn never seen so much free advice in the comments section before lol

Wao nice compresor
Need to find and restore a milling machine, no more hand filing, especially once you get old 🤣🤣😏
What's the point of the empty cans? I'm confused as to what this project was for.
Compressor makes preasure in cans and you can use that for longer painting session
