Hi! Nurse here. Those big syringes are for the patients we don't like. The come paired with the bigger needles, too (Serious answer: Some instances require a lot of fluid for stuff, like flushing urinary catheters or NG tubes. It has a statlock on it, so it is technically compatible with IVs, but I rarely if ever see that much fluid given via syringe.)

“How you handle the freon, thats between you and god” hahahahah 🤣🤣🤣

Now I can finally use that fridge compressor I have under my workbench for the past 5 years, Earned a sub

You might consider keeping the condenser coil and fan to make dry air. Keeping the reservoir tank dry prevents it rusting out. I think the rectfier makes DC so the pump can be a cheap 12VDC tire inflator pump.

Fun fact: Freon is DuPont's registered trademark for R12. So unless the refrigerant is DuPont R12, it's not Freon

I absolutely love the idea of an affordable, small, and most importantly QUIET air compressor! Even better that it's a fairly simple diy project. I am useless when it comes to working on electronics, but i would actually consider making one of these. With it being so quiet, you could even use a bigger tank, as the capacity of the pump matters less when its so quiet. I wouldn't mind this just always being on in the background

Use JB Weld around the threads to seal leaking threads, doesn't matter if it's the original or quick weld. Just make sure that it fully cures BEFORE putting any pressure on it!!

I was under the impression that those compressors were higher pressure, but very slow. Hmm, Maybe I could do this with a slightly larger tank and 2 compressors running in parallel for increased CFM. Love the video. You gained a sub. :)

Pretty cool idea. It’s not very portable but if you’ve got a mini compressor for space reasons and you don’t lug it around too often this would be a really kick ass upgrade. At first I was a little apprehensive because I was scared of what would happen if the pressure switch failed but a quick google search seems to indicate that a compressor of that type probably won’t make much over 200 if that so I felt quite a bit better after reading that. Thanks for posting 👍

Dude I hope your channel blows up.... Your videos are pretty d@mn good

We've got chemistry here. Can you feel it? I felt it! All right Janice.

"I don't" at 19:04 made me chuckle. Fun video good job.

FFL and MFL fittings, also work on Co2 systems for a homebrewer's kegerator. (See if you can guess who used a set of HVAC gauges on his kegerator.) Also, in my old house AC compressor leaked out all its freon. Let's try using R-600 instead of the R-20 in it. You can get BBQ grade R-600 at Home D, in 15 pound refillable bottles. Little over $20. Had to refill about 6 times that summer, but here in Phoenix, we survived. Landlord replaced the AC in the fall, when they were a LOT cheaper. steve

If anybody needs more CFM than this will provide, then use an air conditioning compressor. You might even be able to use the housing for a neat package. I would recommend plumbing the air that comes out of the compressor through one of the condensers or evaporators for extra cooling.

I used one of those self tapping screws...it was the very short 1/2" one...drilled a hole in the bottom to drain the oil, then put 10w-30 motor oil (so later on I can just unscrew that bolt and replace the oil with regularity)...but that harbor freight oil would be much better (non-detergent oil) I put 2oz...or 1/4 cup...those little compressors don't use alot...and will blow it out until it's at the right level oh..another thing...a good 1/4oz of MotorKote will help the compressor on dry starts Very very very cool!

I built a similar air compressor a few years ago, I needed a ultra quite compressor for airbrushing in the house and off the shelf ultra quite compressors were more than $800. I bought a brand new 2 gallon compressor on sale for $75 to get a known good pressure vessel, pressure switch and safety blow off valve, and slapped on a salvaged fridge compressor and 1 micron micromist oil/water separator from SMC to get the cleanest driest possible air cost less than $160 to build a compressor i cant even hear running from 2 feet away

The factory oil recharge for that compressor is 384ml. Dry is 440ml.

Those big syringes are used for medical syringe pumps, when you need a slow and steady dose over time. It’s coupled to an iv-line, for example running iv anaesthesia during an operation or epinephrine in the ICU

I'd consider extending the drain for even easier access.

You know, the raw commentary alone.....that earned you another subscriber

if you run the air through the fridge coils and then the water separator then the tank, you wouldn't have to worry about water accumulation in the tank. you would need a much better separator though

It’s a jelly bean 12v hobby motor. That’s the reason for rectification. Half the motorized doodads in that store are probably using the same part

There's a Wendy's in Leeds, UK so we have the baconator also.

The fire extinguisher tanks are rated to 300 PSI!

The drain valve is off center. You will have a permanent puddle in the tank that can't drain unless you tilt it while draining.

For my second compressor I bought a larger 20 gal with a belt run pump ($4-500 range, but it had good performance numbers and relatively quiet. Plus I later augmented my fixed air lines with an additional removable tank). I got really annoyed with the water that would come out of the system, more cause I didn’t want it to go into my tires, but also my tools, so I got a cheap (I think it was like $15?) transmission cooler, got the appropriate copper tubing & a decent filter and threw that all between the pump and the tank. Positioned the cooler in front of the belt guard which is in front of the fan that runs off the motor and viola. Pulls lots, dare I say effectively all detectable?, water from the compressed air & cools the charged air down so it’s even denser in the tank. Didn’t take long, wasn’t expensive (most expensive part was the filter/ / air/water separator - scoured eBay for a while looking for a good enough one that was heavily discounted) & keeps my lines & tanks virtually moisture free (some builds up, but only after a lotttt of use). It’s awesome. Always wanted a faster pump without breaking the bank. Will have to check out some fridge compressors - thanks!

Thanks COOP ...

22:25 obvious attention span waning....instant sub.

Add a toolbox seat on top of it! Great job!

I would like to know where I can get that full recording of that version of Chopin's compositions

Got me wanting to do this now.. hmm need to start looking for a junk fridge..

How does this compare to the Milwaukee inflator setup?

Bravo......ok.....epoxy on the hard threads stuff.....and silver solder can weld most all metals together......1100lbs ......cheers

How many cfm do u get and can it power a paint gun my crafts man barely dose, it can spray for 6 to 10 seconds before having to stop spraying, to alow air to recharge

nice1. I wouldn't trust myself to not mess it up and have the thing go kabooom!!! LOL

5x 60ml syringes were used by my nurse to draw blood used for a procedure that required a large amount of my blood plasma, that’s at least one application 🤷

That’s a terrible idea in terms of general usefulness, but a wonderful idea as a stationary compressor with a large tank, lower draw, and low noise is paramount.

Never seen the inside of a fridge compressor, wonder how they work ?

Wouldn‘t this cause problems when starting the compressor with the tank already pressurised because of the low starting torque of the induction motor?

Just wondering how well this held up. I tried this a long while ago, but it locked up after a few months. I really liked having a small, silent compressor like this, so maybe I'll make another one with a larger compressor.

I have one of the newer cheap air compressors from HF and they are still crap, it's like 4 minutes to fill up the 3 gallon tank and still loud af

I wonder how well a window unit compressor would fare. Have a newer HF 3gal pancake that is also ungodly loud and inefficient that i keep in my car and run off an inverter on occasion.

Have you had any issues with the compressor restarting with some pressure in the tank?

I need that rubber check valve for my own 3 gallon Canadian Tire compressor made by the same company. Mine is malformed and leaks. I looked everywhere for parts but nobody sells it. Can you mail it to me?

I can’t seem to find my refrigerator. Anyone seen it?

I didnt even know Harrys had hoodies lmao also I have the same compressor and its loud af

Literally me in the garage minus recording myself and posting it on youtube.

*imperial is better* - few scenes later - uses a fkn 23/64 drill to make something close to a 9mm hole. nice comedy video you uploaded there =D

I don't want to make this weird, but I *REALLY* enjoy your videos. Really great stuff. Can we hang out? FYI, visitation days are Tuesday and Thursday from 10-2.

Biggest problem with an air compressor: NOISE.

build a seat on top

I have that air compressor. It’s a POS. 😂

hmmmm

can't imagine lasting long without oil in it

I’ll stick with my 10hp screw compressor. Thanks though.
