Q:

Tests for TK’s new Minni Compressor? How to "break&quot

In case you have not been following a paintballer has introduced a new mini compressor for 390$. You can get all the details here:

http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Miniature-Compressor-for-Paintball/216287806129?v=info&ref=ts

Look under info and what not. There are also several threads on it on:

automags.org

Anyway I have one on the way (as I think one or two other forum members do) in the next week or two and I wondered what you all would like to see done to the thing? What tests beyond the obvious “how long to fill my tank?” can you blow it up etc. would you like me to try? I am thinking it will be worth attempting some upgrading, filling scubas etc.

Anyway if anyone is in the Tacoma WA area and would like to get together some weekend I am dieing to get out and shoot and testing the compressor would be a good excuse.

Thoughts?

Looks like I picked the winning side.

I’m tired. Anyone else?

quote Voltar_1:

made an adjuster for the kickout spring. Can easily tweak it for 4500psi or 3000psi or whatever I wish. Amazingly repeatable. Worked out the 4500psi setting set then back adjuster out 10 turns and check…. 3,000psi. pretty cool
Wish I could get a second spring and have one set for each presure. gonna do that 🙂

Finally got a blow of moisture as the humidity was indeed higher here of late. Raining all the bloody time. Running for about 3 hours netted about 4 droplets of water at the blowdown.

Gonna check into it more and the clearing of the water upside down is a pretty good idear! thanks!!!!

Walter….

Now that is a great idea Walter…… I wish I had an auto shut off….

Why do I have to pick a side? I’m just reporting the official response from the mini compressor inventor from Facebook.

If you are going to hang around this forum you better pick a stinkin side and
do it quick…. We have ways of making you pick our side……

you could make a 3k burst disk device that connects in line with the fill hose if needed for filling 3k safely (with a paintball fittings on each end) 🙂

Actually no need as the tank burst disk protects itself.

Tom cannot endorse the reduced pressure as that is not his liability.

yep, I over thought that one 😯

Because the burst disk built into the unit needs to change for each pressure rating.

Or fill the tank in the inverted position, and use the fill hose as part of the water trap. Make a big loop so the water has somewhere to go beside the tank or the 3rd stage piston. Then bleed the line every now and again during the fill if needed?
Thanks,
Roger
