How it stands now after 4 years use, with a bigger motor and pulley ect. Also has a unloaded and pressure switch now as well.
The box at the top is the motor regulator, it automaticly shuts the motor off when the tank is at 100PSI.
The other part is a flow regulator, two hose fittings, and a PSI meter.
A massive compressor station near Chinchilla, QLD. Coal seam gas is a huge industrial operation that will take over large swathes of farmland or native vegetation, and could do considerable damage to ground and surface waters. The Green house gas implications are also large due to the amount of methane that escapes during extraction and processing.

White Knob Mining District
Significant copper deposits were first discovered in the White Knob Mountains in 1879 and by 1884, the White Knob Area was being developed into one of the largest copper producers in Idaho. The tram towers here, from the early 1900s, were part of an aerial tram system in the White Knob Mining District used to carry ore over four miles down the mountain to the smelter and blast furnaces from the Empire Mine to the railroad. This historic mining complex contains a railroad grade, industrial mining buildings and features, adits and ruins of miner’s residences. Recent work has restored the tram towers and railroad trestle.
River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the second full week of August 2014. Work is now on-going in this area of the The Slang/Dargle River, involving: -- Site preparation and mobilisation comprising sheetpile flood defence walls.
Meanwhile, work proceeded on core-sample drilling to determine the integrity of the adjacent riverside and riverbank. These UK contractors have been moving this Comacchio 405 crawler tracked rig about the local area, I think the term is 'rotary coring'. Flushing mediums include mud/water recirculation via an on-board mud pump, or air flush via an auxiliary compressor.
Windowless sampling barrels contain plastic liners to retain soil samples.
Liners are removed from sample barrels after drilling.
The use of a plastic liner allows for excellent presentation of high quality samples. The drilling process renders the immediate area into a sea of liquified mud.
Regardless of the weather, waterproof clothing is 'de rigueur'.
Easy access to clean water is a bonus.
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.
Panorama
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.

188 suffers from severely worn compressor, there is more oil than air in the tanks I think some time. It has caused us bother already and it is doing so again. To solve the problem once and for all I have wrestled the compressor from our spare power pack. This will be sent off for replacement or remanufacture. This will then give me a new unit to fit to the Lynx and solving the root cause of its air system problems.
Impressions from the 2015 OutDoor Fair in Friedrichshafen, Germany. Read my Day by Day account of the event at hikinginfinland.com
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.
