I test the Dewalt 60V air compressor. It doesn't blow, it sucks.
I couldn't get anywhere near the performance claimed on the box. What am I missing? Thank you for your help making these VJOs. Early access here: http://www.Patreon.com/AvE

    60 volts @ 4 amps = 240 watts. Still, plug-in pixies waaay cheaper!

    I’ve run the shit out of mine for four years and never had an issue, guess I got the only good one

    Also, it seems to me that the power waste has to just be in phenominally bad mechanical pumping, not in the motor. The BLDC motor, if hooked up with a pully to a standard piston unit (assuming same HP) should be well over 30% more efficient per watt than an induction or universal motor all other things being equal. (you see this with BLDC electric pressure washers that are now pushing over 3100 PSI tested on a 13 amp 120V circuit versus universal and induction electric units maxing out at 2300.)

    So all things being equal, it should be possible to build a MUCH more efficient and powerful BLDC compressor than other designs.

    Why wouldn't they have used a double solenoid design with piston head on both ends (i.e. you have 2 magnetic fields, one on each side so it's active/active) so that you're getting compression on both sides of the stroke? It would be WAY more efficient, wouldn't require a wrist pin, and would only have the rings as contact points. (and it would more than double the flow.)

    Go ahead and buy your EVs that are filled with these filthy lithium ion batteries. They cost more to operate, more to manufacture, more to dispose of, and can come nowhere near a modern hybrid internal combustion engine in saving the environment.

    Hey AvE! You should BOLTR the Milwaukee battery powered compressor. See how she stacks up against the dewilt.

    Take that putty out there

    A battery powered compressor would be a good deal for a hookah set-up. There is a towable battery unit that looks good, not sure what it costs. I just want something to set a mooring or clean the boat. I do these things breath hold, which is too dangerous for me. But I would never be so deep, that if the unit did conk out I wouldn't virtually be able to stand up. The problem with breath hold is merely getting snagged would be a killer, while with a hookah it would have to be a double failure for things to go wrong.

    One charge of a battery, or one flat tire pulled over interstate traffic during rush hour…. yep, one of these scenarios is going to cost less!

    Instead of immediately calling out what's left out like it's a bad thing or any less functional, based on your opinion, at least give it a 10 second thought on why it may be different than what you would consider skookum. 🤷‍♂️ seems too easy to just say "aw chinsy as frig" and put it on the con list without any further thought. Just my two cents.

    Garbage garbage

    i cant see how no wristpin would cause a problem, the pistons already moving alot the added movement from the rocking is negligible, as long as it doesnt make it wear weird i honestly cant see how that would b problematic, in fact its less parts to wear honestly i would prefer a piston but the only thing i can think of is not liking such a small contact area from the piston to the cylinder wall that will wear faster than a full size piston however my outside compressor has this design n i use it almost every single day at 160 lbs, n its a junk husky one to, it runs for about 5 minutes n hour on average the inside ones a quincy that iv had my entire life of somethin like 31 32 or 33 years :p n its never been rebuilt.. n still runs strong
