We popped through into another hall that now housed three derelict JOY compressors but had obviously house one big turbine at some point. Judging by the labelling around the place it was a turbo generator for electricity production in this part..
Out with our old leaking compressor box. K&W Tool Boxes in Bronson, MI is building a custom box that uses a leak-proof seal design. K&W specializes in custom aluminum boxes. www.customtoolboxes.com. We will be completely redesigning the compressor system using twin Extreme Air compressors by Extreme Outback Products, www.extremeoutback.com, a 5-gallon ACCUAIR aluminum tank, www.accuairsuspension.com and a new air management system designed by Hellwig www.hellwigproducts.com and Extreme Outback Products.
This compressor facility provided the miners in the Cossack Tunnel with compressed air to operate their tools and machinery.
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.
I decided to add a compressor to the engine as it shows clearly in the prototype photo I'm working from. Also- last winter I was making what I could from material on hand before making a purchase specifically for this engine, and this was a fun little project.
I scaled down the model shown in the New Shay book and simplified it a little. it mounts under the front corner of the cab on the left side of the engine.
Huellas del perfil de los álabes de la segunda etapa del compresor axial del Lycoming T53. Se observa que la separación entre los bordes de ataque es menor que la de los bordes de salida para conseguir la difusión del flujo de aire, es decir, reducir su velocidad y aumentar su presión estática.

The scalloped side air intakes are a homage to those found on the 308 GTB,[12] and are divided by a central partition. Air entering the top intake is partially directed into the turbocharger compressor intake, while the rest is directed through the rear of the car and exits alongside the rear lights, increasing air pressure behind the car in order to reduce aerodynamic drag. Airflow entering the lower intake is directed towards the intercoolers in order to cool the intake charge.[11]
The Ferrari 488 (Tipo F142M) is a mid-engined sports car produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari, introduced in 2015 to replace the previous 458.
It is powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8, smaller in displacement and higher in output than the naturally aspirated engine it supersedes.
Engine
The 488 GTB is powered by a 3904cc (488cc per cylinder, thus the name) all-aluminium dry sump unit of the Ferrari F154 engine family.[3] Turbocharged with two parallel ball-bearing twin-scroll turbochargers supplied by IHI and two air-to-air intercoolers, the compressor wheels are made of low-density TiAl alloy often used in jet engines to reduce inertia and resist high temperatures within the turbocharger. The engine produces 670 PS (493 kW; 661 hp) at 8,000 rpm and 760 N·m (561 lb·ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm.[4] This results in a specific power output of 126.3 kW (171.7 PS; 169.4 hp) per litre and specific torque output of 194.8 N·m (144 lbf·ft) per litre, both records for a Ferrari car.
Transmission
The only available transmission for the 488 is an automated manual dual-clutch 7-speed F1 gearbox manufactured for Ferrari by GETRAG, based on the gearbox used in the 458.[5]
Handling
Improved carbon-ceramic brakes are supplied on the 488, derived from technology used in LaFerrari, constructed with new materials that reduce the time needed to achieve optimum operating temperature. Disc sizes are 398 mm at the front, and 360 mm at the rear. These advancements reportedly reduce stopping distances by 9% over the 458.[5]
A new 5-spoke alloy wheel was designed for the 488, measuring 51 centimetres (20 in)front and rear. Front tires measure 245/35 with rears 305/30.[3]
Design
The body of the 488 has been designed to increase downforce by 50% over the 458 while reducing aerodynamic drag.[10] A new front double splitter increases radiator cooling while a newly designed blown rear spoiler (actually a slotted flap) integrated into the rear decklid and bumper increases downforce without requiring a raised wing.[11] The central "Aero Pillar" deflects air under the flat body of the car while two vents in the bonnet provide an exit for air from the dual intakes of the front bumper, further reducing air pressure over the front of the car.[12]
Underbody vortex generators work to reduce air pressure beneath the car thereby increasing overall downforce. A larger rear diffuser works to increase the velocity of air exiting the underbody to further lower air pressure, in conjunction with active aerodynamic variable flaps that both reduce drag and increase downforce as controlled by a microprocessor.[11] The increased size of the diffuser over the previous 458 requires the twin exhausts of the 488 to be positioned higher in the rear bumper for clearance.[12]
