An air compressor that was destined for a land fill after i cleaned it up. before it ran like crap and looked like crap. Now it looks decent and runs well. Could still use a pressure switch.
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.
