Exa Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 This is a video by Brothgar about a automated air compressor : I tried my own with simple liquid door pushing here : any ideas for improvment? my version compress 70kg of oxygen by iteration by the way I tried with faster closing doors, I was afraid of destroying water but this seems to be the speed limit before it happens : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 A commenter to the Brothgar video, chris traub, posted the same version I would have done. It's simple, and it works.https://imgur.com/2t7YdMU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exa Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 nice one, why pushing water when you can pushing gas :)) the Chris Traub version : very nice, mine doesn't work well with mixed gas by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelder Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 May I know how the air compressor can be applied or use at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhailRaptor Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The only reason would be if you needed to pressurize a room beyond the 20 kg limit of the High Pressure Vent. Which, currently, I don't think there is a reason to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exa Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Compressor allows you unlimited max pressure, so you can keep unlimited mass of natural gas, oxygen, or any useful gas for emergency situations or later uses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 You can even compress liquids with the compressor so you can also store huge amounts of water at colossal pressure in a tiny space. I've always used the technique of making sure I only have just the amount of NGGs and HGs running needed to sustain the base power needs. Let batteries take care of fluctuations. And then storing excess gas instead of burning off NG for no apparent reason as many do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
