To the left of this photo, hidden by the dense undergrowth and years of fly-tipping, is a site of immense importance in the history of Cornish mining. It was here, at New Sump Shaft, that the first true Cornish Beam Engine, designed by Richard Trevithick, was put to work in August 1816. It worked continuously until 1912.

Old compressor found in the basement of a parking garage in Baltimore. Thought it was a DC motor based on a sign on the floor nearby, whoops.

° Since I found the cars and pillar on the right of the original shot ( see below ) to be some really disturbing elements I copied half the car and mirrored it,

after positioning perfectly I copied the Mercedes logo from the original shot and pasted it on top. Of course now there ain't a steering wheel no more ;).

° Cropped.

° Brightness with luminosity mask made the car more shiny.

° A cooling photo filter with a banded gradient to get the blues in the reflection more out, a warming filter on the bottom ( normal gradient ).

° High pass sharpening ( see below ).

We went on a little week trip to Tenerife, I'll be posting many pictures of this terrific volcanic island in the Atlantic ocean.

 

The Mercedes Slr compressor was parked besides a Maybach at the entrance of a fancy hotel, of course I couldn't resist taking a shot.

Hasselblad SWC, Kodak Ektar 100

I love mechanical abstracts of new of old mechanical beasts. Theis is the compressor of a helicopter turboshaft engine at a military museum/junk yard. Lith printed on Kodak polycontrast RC paper that expired in 1979....if anyone has some laying around in their darkroom not doing anything, I can definitely use it. It is useless for standard printing, but does some very nice things when lithed.

Built in the early 1950's, the compressor house holds three Sentinel double acting two stage air compressors which supplied compressed air around the mine. The air was piped to storage tanks outside the building and then underground via a network of steel pipes to power rockdrills and other machinery.

At a CNG filling station.

1/15 - Small turbo compressor for an N54

Cough! Somehow I had to sympathize after having been through some male physicals. There is a air compressor nozzle being place in each flue pipe in the boiler and pressure applied to blow out the ashes. Ah maintenance on a steam engine.

Built in 1886 at Dolcoath's New Sump Shaft, the compressor house was designed by the mine manager Captain Josiah Thomas. It housed a Harris 12" air compressor which could supply 12 underground rock drills at a pressure of 70lbs per square inch at a depth of half a mile.

a utility water compressor for pressurized washers used for cleaning pavers, sidewalks or automobiles. in some occasions this maybe used for small farms. makes a nice model for still life photography

Located in the Blow House at Bethlehem Steel, this is one of many compressors that made the "blast" for the blast furnaces.

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!

I forget if this was for water removal or air supply but it was assembled in this area.

Used to service old style air compressors

Breakdowns happen....And it happenend to me last. Yesterday i was on hire to Catteralls with Southam rugby club to Malvern rugby club as as is the fashion with these jobs it isn't just about playing the game and going home. I finally left the area at 22.30 last night...BUT......having got on the M5 at Junction 6 all hell broke lose...By junction 5 i was off the motorway with major airloss in both tanks...Yep the pipe had snaped that goes to the Air Compressor ...I wasn't going anywhere . At 22.45 hrs i had 40 drunk Rugby players running all over the A38 near Bromsgrove so yes the police attended and told them all to get back on the coach till a replacement had been arranged . Needless to say they were taken off me an Hour later leaving me and a broken coach sat on the rounabout of Junction 5 on the M5 .This shot is taken at 23.00 hrs , the start of my very long night.

This compressor sits in a dark room of an abandoned tuna cannery. The cannery was shut down after several botulism deaths were linked to it's products in the early '60's. The plant had only operated a few months. It's been abandoned now more than 40 years.

There's a bit more detail in larger versions.
