I know I mostly post photos of girly little dolls and sometimes budget fashion wristwatches, but once in a while I actually do real-world non-sissy stuff, like adding air to car tires.
Admittedly, the car is a kinda sissy Subaru, but at least it's a "Wilderness Edition" Subaru. And those Yokahama Geolandar tires are held in high regard by... uhmm... by the kind of people who go online to argue the relative merits of various car tires.
I'm just diggin' a deeper hole for myself, ain't I?
I wasn't really expecting much from a battery-powered air compressor, but this DeWalt is the real deal!

Our neighbor Donna turned us onto the idea of using old refrigerator compresses coils as doormats. On our way home from the dog park this morning she dug one out of a pile by a dumpster. We took three more home with us. Wendy immediately grabbed the bolt cutters and trimmed it down to size. I love the look and it does feel like you can scrap off whatever is stuck to your shoes. The pets hate them! Cat and dog alike they will not step on it.

Because we were shutdown I was able to get up the flare boom for some shots of the platform and the crewchange flight.
As luck would have it, the chopper shutdown on our Floating Storage vessel, the MV12, due to a suspected fuel leak. I hung around up there for nearly two hours to make sure I was in place for the chopper landing on Rong Doi.

In 1931 Italian engineer Secondo Campini submitted a report on the potential of jet propulsion to the Regia Aeronautica, and the following year, demonstrated a jet-powered boat in Venice. In 1934, the Regia Aeronautica granted approval for the development of a jet aircraft to demonstrate the principle.
As designed by Campini, the aircraft did not have a jet engine in the sense that we know them today. Rather, a conventional 500 kW (670 hp) Isotta Fraschini L. 121/R.C. 40 piston engine was used to drive a compressor, which forced compressed air into a combustion chamber where it was mixed with fuel and ignited. The exhaust produced by this combustion was to drive the aircraft forward. Campini called this configuration a "thermojet," but the term "motorjet" is in common usage today since thermojet is now used to refer to a particular type of pulsejet (an unrelated form of jet engine). It has also been described as a ducted fan.[1]
The Italian aircraft designer Luigi Stipa (1900-1992) contended that his Stipa-Caproni experimental aircraft, a ducted-fan design of 1932, was the first aircraft to employ what he called an "intubed propeller" -- essentially the motorjet principle -- and that he therefore deserves the credit for the invention of the jet engine. The Caproni-Campini N.1 did employ many of the principles first tested in the Stipa-Caproni aircraft, albeit in a more advanced form.
Air Compressor built by Broom & Wade of High Wycombe and powered by Ford 592E Industrial engine. Almost identical to Fordson Major engine and 4D lorry engines, but note decompressor lever on rocker cover etc.
Designed to be stationary I believe, but latterly mounted on ex-Leyland lorry chassis
Ron went to the mall and came back with a shiny new air compressor. One of the few tools/machines he didn't already have.
Series of posters for the San Diego Center of Sustainable Energy showing different compressors and their uses.

This compressor was at the moto repair shop last week. I thought it looked like a compressor from the 70's.
I liked the colour play between the notes of orange and the accents of light blue.

The largest (that I am aware of) in the Kismet range of pumps by William Turner & Bro LTD of Sheffield England.
The one has been restored with considerable effort!
