i want to build a portable gas powered air compressor ( i have already buildt a 60g 110v air compressor for home that works just fine no problems). on regular compressor you plug them inick,turn on the switch and thats it. compressor starts shuts off at regulated psi. while using compressor, pump and starter cuts in at regulated psi. by itself repetes over to keep regulated psi in tank. well if tou have to pull a draw string to start a gas powered compressor and it starts compressing air. what happens when it reaches desired psi or when pressure drops and has to fill up again. do i have to manually start this thing every timepsi gets psi gets low ? or how does it start again without me having to manualy start it? or does it stay running all the time? do i need any special or different valves or something? or just HOW DOES IT WORK?

ur#1fav69fan asked:

I have a 5 hp air compressor that I can’t figure out the exact way to wire it to the circuit breaker. It is a 208v motor which makes me think that 220 runs it. I’m not sure how exactly to wire this up but I don’t want to hire an electrician if I don’t have to. I would just like for someone to explain the way to wire this word for word to the pressure switch. I would like to hear where the exact color of each wire should start and finish. Where all four of the wires should start in the breaker box would be an idea start for me to begin this process. Thanks for your time.

Can you break the compressor on a window unit air conditioning by attempting to use it vertically?

Adam B asked:

Basically we had a window that was too narrow to fit the air conditioner. We put it in vertically and turned it on. It worked by made a strange noise for awhile and then only the fan would work. We then found out that the compressor was broken.

Now we are trying to figure out if this air conditioner broke before we put it in the window vertically or if it was already broken.

It was a Panasonic 10,000 BTU window unit air condiontioner.

why is my tv making a buzzing sound, it sounds like a air compressor?

Andrew F asked:

I have a 26 in sanyo tv (not flat screen) and when ever you turn it on it makes a loud buzzing sound and it’s not because there’s a wrong plug in the sound input. the picture is perfect but it just makes the loud buzzing sound and it’s not the speakers because when u turn the volume all of the way down the buzzing doesn’t get any quieter just the tv sound.

how can I fix this?
