Whispering air compressor? | Implotex 480W review

Implotex has sent me a compressor for review. Its main feature is silence. So it was a good occasion to explore the decibel-scale and make some sound level measurements - compared with my typical discount compressor.
I also have a little fun with ping-pong balls...

[@BaconMinion]

This right here is how you do a review, especially a sponsored one. The science, the facts, the small scale experiments all draw the viewer in, it entertains, informs and educates all at the same time. It's telling that you put time and effort into the video, that you actually cared.

[@IstasPumaNevada]

+BaconMinion And perhaps most importantly, it says right up front that it's sponsored.

[@brainiac75]

+BaconMinion Thanks! 'Sponsored video' is something new to me, but I accepted this one since implotex didn't demand anything. They just sent me the compressor for a video test. So I had free hands to make the video exactly like I wanted it to be. Including some science of course to fit my channel and personal interest. And yes, I have been working on this video in my spare time since december 2015, so I'm glad you noticed the effort put into it :)

[@Mikej1592]

+Brainiac75 That shows just how much confidence they had in their product. wow, I am a lover of quiet things. I just might have to pick one of these beauties up.

[@brainiac75]

Mikej1592 I agree. They even sent me one with a crooked sticker so I'm confident they just sent me a random one from their storage and not a 'specially' prepared or pre-tested one. I will not accept doing tests of products if the seller doesn't give me free hands to make my video like I want it. If I ever will be asked to make a 'commercial' for a product I would ask for a lot of money for the many hours and work - and have them upload the video on their own channel and not mine :) Thanks for watching!

[@vic21k27]

BaconMinion welcome to the small youtubers. They dont realy clickbait or rush. They just do it good.

[@Onionbagel]

I would say that's the most detailed review of a product possibly ever given... I r8 it 8/8 m8~

[@hansmayer8057]

That's true

[@nicnl255]

I usually hate products review because companies simply try to sell their shitty to common products. But I must admit that I really liked this one. This compressor seems to be amazingly silent, I'm seriously considering to buy one.

[@LordWilsonVILLA]

I was so impressed with the quiet compressor I ordered one from Amazon straight after seeing your video.

[@OriginalJetForMe]

This is a terrific product review. Thank you! For readers in the US, we have a manufacturer of similarly-silent compressors, called California Air Tools.

[@brainiac75]

Thanks for watching and the tip for my US viewers :)

[@Ostsol]

Good for Canadians to know, too! :)

[@u9Nails]

That's a game changing compressor, and one heck of a good review.

[@GamerGuyplays]

I am never going to buy an air compressor, but you make your videos so entertaining that I can't help myself but to watch it!

[@laurent7461]

Your video's are so comfy that I enjoyed watching an advert for something I never even thought about before and have no need for. Great production quality too! keep up the good work.

[@brainiac75]

+Laurence Englebert Thanks! 'Sponsored video' is something new to me, but I accepted this one since implotex didn't demand anything. They just sent me the compressor for a video test. So I had free hands to make the video exactly like I wanted it to be - including some science of course :)

[@alexwang007]

the best way to reach 10min mark i have ever seen!!! thank u for that extra info!!

[@vlad85ilver]

I can't believe I want the whole video. Haha. I like your style of video. Short intro, straight to the point contents, and a surprise at end of video. Need more youtube videos like yours. Entertaining, educational, and mostly informative.

[@JoseEncarnacao]

This is my favorite video! I learned so much. Cheers for your sponsor too, great engineering.

[@DrunkNotIAm]

always great to see a video in my sub box!

[@NvTwist]

Yup I was still watching, learned adding lead to brass enhances machining & sealing. Good stuff. Thx

[@xXxLiabilityLukeexXx]

Wow! That's really quite incredible! I wouldn't mind one of those for dusting out my computers, instead of buying compressed air canisters! Great video as always! Thanks for sharing this! (:

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

+Luke Paul Yeah, but imagine how many compressed air canisters you could buy for that price! They would last you more than a lifetime. I'd also opt for the cheap 70 bucks Einhell compressor from amazon, just because I don't have that many computers to dust out so it would make sense to buy anything more expensive.

[@xXxLiabilityLukeexXx]

Seegal Galguntijak Actually, you bring a valid point! :')

[@brainiac75]

+Luke Paul Thanks for watching :)

[@Ispike73]

+Seegal Galguntijak That maybe true, but it's awful hard to inflate a tire with a can of compressed air.

[@soll86]

Nice review ! Good work for this type of reviews ! Been watching your channel for some time now. Keep it up !

[@brainiac75]

+soll86 Thanks! Review videos are not my favorites so I'm not gonna change my channel into a review channel. But I have been getting good feedback on this review so I may do other reviews if the right stuff turns up - like a gamma scintillator, IR-camera etc. :)

[@rossmennie4903]

A fine video again. I have an applied science training and I am learning from you, professor!!

[@TDPEquinox]

The spikes from the switch really show it.

[@Trident_Euclid]

TDPEquinox What switch?

[@Lively_1185]

Ibraheem Al hadede The switch on the implotex air compressor that actually turns it on.

[@HellTriX]

Thank you Implotex, and Brainiac75 for the great review..

[@simeonadonai]

Awesome review man, I really need to get me one of these. I hope they send you a bunch of more stuff to review, not sure I ever seen a review I trust as much as this one on the internet - ever.

[@brainiac75]

+DiWike Thanks - but I will not make a lot of reviews. I will stay focused on science on my channel - but if a product has an obvious scientific link and the seller gives me completely free hands like implotex did, I'm ready. For example: a gamma ray spectrometer review would be very useful for my radioactive collection :o)

[@ryanhebron4287]

i like how you apply scientific principles to reviewing a product. Great Vid.

[@brainiac75]

+Ryan Hebron Thanks for watching! I focus my channel on science - not commercials or reviews which I don't find interesting myself. But I don't mind doing reviews if the product is interesting and has an obvious link to science. For example I wouldn't mind reviewing a gamma ray spectrometer or a infrared camera. Could be very useful for my future videos :o)

[@ryanhebron4287]

+Brainiac75 I dig that. thanks for the vids.

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

These new compressors are fantastic. I got a really cheap one of these recently, and it just blew me away when I heard, or didn't hear, just how quiet it really is. It is so quiet that you can easily have a conversation while standing right next to it :) .

[@brainiac75]

+CNCmachiningisfun It was surprising for me too. In such an open design like the shown I thought it would be louder when I unboxed it.

[@Harrave]

Amazing! Even for reviews, this channel still makes it so interesting! I love you Brainiac75! Make more videos!!

[@brainiac75]

+Snowy55 HD Love your support :) More videos to come.

[@Pro1er]

Thank you. You are the first person to do a proper review on "silent" air compressors. In addition to being well thought out, you also by-passed the camera's AGC which would otherwise completely negate the sound comparisons. The only other comparison I would have liked is the sound level difference when the tank is empty compared to when the tank is near full and the motor is working harder.

[@brainiac75]

+Pro1er Thanks! It is actually tricky to make comparable sound clips in a video. But the recordings from the Zoom H6 matches quite well what I experience in real life. As you can tell by the shown waveforms the difference in sound pressure level is small between start/end. The sound is however quite different as you mention. In the watt-test I show clips of start/near end for both compressors. If you listen carefully you may be able to notice the difference in sound (underneath my endless talking...)

[@realizt420]

omg finally I check back for new vids all the time

[@Femmpaws]

I was looking at one of their larger air compressors because of the low sound level. You have sold me on getting it.

[@brainiac75]

I doubt you will regret it :) So nice to have a compressor that doesn't jump scare you everytime it turns on.

[@Femmpaws]

Brainiac75 I understand that too. I have a big belt driven one and it's not bad. But I don't always need 12 CFM when I'm using an airbrush or blow gun.

[@eeramzi]

I'm definitely buying this, thanks for sharing

[@rainbowhippybus]

can you make more videos, please? I absolutely love your videos and have watched all of them more times than I can count. it would be so awesome if you made more. your channel is growing very quickly. keep up the good work!

[@brainiac75]

+Clio Varosy Thank you very much. Yep, I am constantly working on the next video. Good work takes time...

[@immrnoidall]

these are great. i was blown away when i fist heard one at the dentist.it was a little one and medical grade .[ add $2000], ,but it was right in the room and made no sound. that was years ago. lol . he was quite proud of it.

[@rockerjonni]

"Wow that is silence, I'm COMpressed" :D

[@williamroden8495]

Another very good video. Thank you!

[@fcy9722]

Who else got the brass and led part at the end

[@ceapaverde1288]

me

[@brainiac75]

+Trippy Gamin Hehe, I wonder how many actually watches the WHOLE video? Thanks for going all the way ;)

[@fcy9722]

its not hard with content like this even when it sponsored because u gave facts and things you were quite persuasive too

[@brainiac75]

Trippy Gamin Nice to hear! I will always make sure my videos are interesting and worth watching - otherwise I will be really bored making them myself... sponsored or not :)

[@luisermert]

+Brainiac75 I did in fact do the, but only because i was Trying to find out why i can't change the record framerate in Slo-Mo mode xD

[@reiki2165]

This review is excellent. This is how one should do reviews instead just blindly showing the features, and what manufactures vaguely tells you about their products. You brought the science of manufacture claims to the consumers for a more reliable input.

[@buellterrier3596]

I really like the natural accent coupled by your eloquence in the English language.

[@JewishStoner_]

these video's are clearly amazing... even tho im 13 and not even english i still learn alot from these videos :D keep up the amazing work!

[@brainiac75]

+CyBorn Thanks for watching! More videos to come.

[@videolabguy]

Well done demonstration. Thanks!

[@brainiac75]

Thanks for watching :)

[@MiguelAbd]

Extras on the end of the video!!! Cool addition for the end!

[@brainiac75]

+Miguel Almeida Hehe, I wonder how many actually watches the WHOLE video? Thanks for going all the way ;)

[@MiguelAbd]

+Brainiac75 I wonder as well, you hid it good hahaha

[@jonathanrabanedo1388]

Wow that compressor it's insane!

[@emmettdd]

my mind has just been blown.. i have learned so much

[@brainiac75]

+Emmett Dicken Great! Thanks for watching.

[@jakedassan4117]

what a fantastic review

[@brainiac75]

+Jake Dassan Thanks for watching :)

[@robertbee9776]

Nice and quiet, that is a wonderful compressor. Implotex is very nice and a lot easier to work around. Hooray, a quiet compressor that will not vibrate my brains and ears out. Thanks. Next video please show us all where the noise is coming from and why some are loud if you can, thanks again. Very nice videos, I always watch your video work.

[@BAGINAZARD]

It's in my shopping cart... you have done well.

[@bent540]

amazing product! i love it! already on amazon.de checking prices!

[@monowavy]

nice. I am happy to know you are getting some kind of support.

[@brainiac75]

+mosh Thanks :)

[@zinzigar]

What a great video!

[@brainiac75]

+zinzigar Thanks!

[@Thesquarewave]

I've salvaged a compressor similar to the quiet one out of an old respirator. Works like a pro!

[@brainiac75]

A respirator? That's probably very durable and meant for continuous use :)

[@Thesquarewave]

...Well actually on research it was an oxygen concentrator. But hey it helps you breath right? ^^;

[@brainiac75]

***** Yep, and those are durable too :)

[@krzysztofduda6432]

I think that this Compressor will be good for AirBrush :) Thanks for review

[@brainiac75]

+Krzysztof Duda Yes, airbrushing is one of the uses that Implotex mention. You don't jump evertime this compressor turns on ;)

[@TheNicolaivlog]

Godt review!

[@brainiac75]

+TheNicolaivlog Tak skal du have. Ikke noget jeg er vant til at lave :)

[@924man]

well now i need to find one of those over here in the states, would be great for when im doing floors and trim in houses

[@lakorai2]

This is a rebadge of the California Air Tools brand. CAT compressors are awesome; they even have a 2hp 15 gallon model that will run small impact wrenches and ratchets no problem

[@flipster6258]

Your videos are great! The first video I saw was the LED Video! Thanks!

[@brainiac75]

Now that's awesome :) Thanks for the support and watching several of my videos.

[@bluedeath996]

I might look to get a more powerful one for my machine shop. Their biggest fits nicely between a standard compressor and a screw type compressor in price and volume, and is almost as quiet.

[@rich1051414]

Holy crap, that's amazing :) I hate having to be in the same room with my compressor, but its a rare occurrence. I am tempted to get this, but I cannot get myself to since my compressor still does its job, but I do know what I will be replacing it with. Love how you showed the spinning of the ball disturbing the low and high pressure zones. Would love a more in depth explanation, but I assume this is the same principle that allows balls to 'curve' when you throw them by giving the ball spin.

[@brainiac75]

It sure also surprised me, that a piston compressor doesn't have to be obnoxiously loud... Yes, Bernoulli's Principle is also in play when 'curving' a ball: www.livescience.com/32714-how-does-a-curveball-curve.html

[@DiraNightcore]

I have been thinking of buying on of these, I clean and dust a lot of old electronics and I hate having to run to the gas station to pump up my car tires (I am not using a hand/foot pump). Something this quiet would be way better. Thanks for this video!

[@brainiac75]

+Ame Nightcore Thanks for watching! Yes, I really like how I can turn this compressor on in my living room without feeling like a lunatic or having to wear ear protection. Just saw a compressor at a Danish store today with a 8 liter tank so quite similar in size. It was labelled 93 dB(A)! But it was really cheap...

[@mariusskrupskis2042]

Very informative, thank you :]

[@erlinghagendesign]

Excellent, excellent, excellent!

[@Correalian]

That is very nice little compressor and would be a godsend for my neighbours compared to the big one I have :)

[@MikoKnight]

Very impressive.

[@johnpekkala6941]

I want one! Compressed air is convenient but there are only quiet running machines made for industrial use avaible. The screw compressor we have at work are around 63-65 dB while operating but a machinelike that cost 1000s of dollars and require 3 phase power as well and also way to big for a home. Smaller piston machines for non industrial use that anyone can buy are so loud, around 100 dB its impossible to use in a home, I have some good earmuffs laying around but my neighbours would go crazy on me first time i started it thinking an entire demolition crew had let loose in my apartment while i just try blow out some dust behind my shelves where my vacuum cant reach. A machine like this would be perfect!

[@AntonyThorburn]

ending is cool. i liked

[@davidduffy9806]

I just bought one of these, I think a good decision.

[@Origoangelohrol322]

You can make as silent compressor as this one out of an old refrigerator compressor. Maybe it'll be a lot slower but it'll also cost much less.

[@imnotbeluga007]

And if you use a fire extinguisher tank, then you can make a silent air compressor... and for way cheaper. I am making one for myself, and my goal is to build it for 10€ or less.

[@adamblomberg]

I think that would suit me very well, just a bigger one.

[@BartzabelAlgol]

All the radio shack stores near me are closing and it really bums me out, I have always loved radio shack.

[@tybo09]

This is funny. I use pumps and compressors in my job. That air filter looks like the particulate filter on our "zero air" units (used to provide pollutant-free air for calibration purposes). The pump looks like the pump of those units (and in a number of other pieces of equipment we use)... but our equipment is not anywhere near this quiet.

[@brainiac75]

+tybo09 Hehe, at first I wondered why they put that little tube on the air filter. It seems unnecessary - I guess it is part of the noise reduction from the intake.

[@3358g]

Nice infomercial.

[@MichelBricole]

Thank you alot !!!

[@TheRealTrikein]

Can you try to combine magnets and compressed air for levitation? Air pressing small magnet up while magnet(s) overhead keep it steady. Just a thought. Love the vids.

[@brainiac75]

+TheRealTrikein Thanks for watching. Magnet vs. magnet will be very hard to balance with compressed air. But maybe use the compressed air for some spin-stabilized diamagnetic levitation using bismuth or pyrolytic carbon? I'll give it a thought - I may come up with something in a future video.

[@Alex-yk6he]

Wow that is a quiet air compressor

[@brainiac75]

Yes, I was surprised. I'm used to getting jump-scared every time an air compressor turns on. Not with this one :)

[@TesserLink]

Seems like a good compressor for airbrushing just lack of a regulator is kind of weird not to include on a premium item

[@brainiac75]

+SHADOWxWOLF Yes and yes. Airbrushing is easier when you are not jump scared everytime the compressor turns on ;) At this price I would also expect a regulator was included. All of their larger models have one but this one is probably aimed for people that will never need it. Otherwise it should be cheap and relatively easy to mount an air regulator yourself. I may have to try it sometime even though I'm not a handyman...

[@themagazineoffun6375]

Hvad skal jeg gøre, når jeg keder mig? se dine videoer, selvom jeg allerede set dem 6x! :)

[@greenjoe4202]

The Magazine Of Fun lol

[@greenjoe4202]

jeg bebrejder ikk dig.

[@toymaker-te8fq]

As desirable as a quiet compressor is, it is not the most important aspect of a compressor. What matters most to me is max PSI and recover time to reach max pressure. What good is a silent compressor that takes 20 minutes or longer to reach max pressure. I'll take a louder compressor if it can completely recharge in under 2 minutes. Those too are the sorts of details that matter when reviewing compressors. ;-)

[@Strufly]

Rigtig godt review! Siden du ved så meget om emnet, hvad er din uddannelse?

[@brainiac75]

+JegErQwerty Tak! Jeg er ikke uddannet indenfor videnskab, men har studeret det i min fritid, siden jeg var helt lille. Så ca. i 35 år ;)

[@deadfreightwest5956]

I see this just hours after buying a Bostitch portable compressor. >.

[@Lickemstick]

If you want almost a COMPLETELY silent compressor, here's an idea: 1. Salvage a still functional, quiet refrigerator. 2 Reuse your old, noisy, compressor's pressure switch and storage tank. 3. Safely and legally drain out the old refrigerator's coolant. 4. Attach the side that blows out air when plugged in to the old compressor's tank. 5. Wire the new, almost completely silent, compressor through the old one's pressure regulator. (so it shuts off without blowing your tank up) I've seen them hit 14 bar (>200 lbs PSI) without even breaking a sweat. They're a little slow but ultra quiet.

[@KingNast]

That's awesome.. Refrigerator compressors are amazingly quiet. Also, since you can get them for free, you could probably attach 2 or 3 of them to speed it up

[@brainiac75]

+Jeremy Schoonover Yep, the problematic part is point 3... And their L/min is very low as you say - I think it is 20-25 L/min...)

[@christopherstaples6758]

nice review , I am looking for something that can handle 7m water depth ( 10 PSI @ at least ~15 LPM ) for fish tank with low power consumption a lot of the pumps I have bought that said they could handle it , really only flow air @ 1m and nothing @ 2m , so onto looking at compressors

[@brainiac75]

You're welcome. 7 m is quite a deep fish tank! Good luck with the project :)

[@abecoulter18]

I'm sold on it

[@otm646]

Your air output figures are a significant over estimation. Bare with my units, A single phase single stage piston compressor makes at best 1 CFM per 0.25 horsepower. That means the Implotex is 2 CFM (57 l/min) and your standard compressor is 4.5 CFM (127.5 l/min)

[@brainiac75]

I just used the advertised max output figures for the compressors. So they should be comparable between the compressors even though both figures may not be realistic in a real-life situations :) Thanks for watching!

[@TresMamboMusicSchool]

Hi there, can you calculate the FAD please? (Empty tank, fill to P(bar) - mutliply tank volume x P(bar) divide by the fill time to reach P(bar) in mins and seconds. You'll get a figure like 100L/per minute etc. Awesome review otherwise and LOVE the ball experiment! Cheers Pete

[@brainiac75]

Hi Pete. I just tested my unit: From 0-8 bar took 1 minute 17 seconds. The tank capacity is 9 liter. That is 56 l/min in your formula. Probably low compared to compressors not designed to be quiet :)

[@TresMamboMusicSchool]

AWESOME ! THANK YOU B for taking the time find the truth. So FAD is 56LPM as opposed to the stated 89LPM on the specs....as I suspected. So for compressors of this type we could conclude will at least 1 LPM per 8.6 watts of motor power...So if my paint gun needs up 360LPM I'm looking at 3KW/4hp. Thanks for the science and the truth! cheers Pete

[@etimon1d]

5:09 :) nice compressor!

[@maj113]

watched till the end

[@jrhollingsworth1075]

So! after a year is the compressor still running good! I just hope the person in charge of putting on the stickers don't have a hand in building them. Did anyone notice the input sticker was upside-down as well?

[@brainiac75]

Yep, still running good, though it should be mentioned I don't use it often. Mostly for topping off bike and car tires once in a while...

[@spooder1165]

Lol when he did the water one and did the first one I didn’t even see the water move but when he used the louder and bigger one it looked like the glass was going to vibrate off the table

[@mixoprorunner9196]

Hey will u try to show us how sand and water(and other stuffs) are maked of two elements or more?

[@brainiac75]

+MixoPro Runner I have considered a video about water. Water has some fascinating properties - and electrolysis is always interesting. Lots and lots of videos for me to make in the future :)

[@owenriley1264]

this compressor actually surprised me of how quiet it was

[@dvidsvijdsvijodsvijdsv]

Hi! Would you know if this compressor would work with a pressure pot for resin casting? Thanks!

[@trevgauntletneu_gaming]

Oh boy, that's one air compressor! 😀

[@laoluu]

My only concern with these silent compressors is, that they are also of the "maintenance free" type. They use no oil in the piston. Thus friction must be an issue, especially after a few years. What's your experience?

[@0pTic4lZagg3]

Could you use a compressor like this to clean a computer? Probably not this one, it seems pretty hefty in price!

[@brainiac75]

Sure, this could clean the dust of most things. But yes, too expensive just for that :)

[@MrDob2009]

Yes but you can buy this one for a low price and it has the same decibels: www.amazon.com/California-Air-Tools-5510SE-5-5-Gallon/dp/B00NOSCDPA/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1474215247&sr=8-4-fkmr1&keywords=california+air+tool+5510

[@UltimatePwnageNL]

I wonder if you can make a standard compressor just as silent by balancing the moving parts and putting sound absorbing material and a big air filter on the intake.

[@Lickemstick]

+Hatagashira A.k.a. a refrigerator compressor. wink wink

[@superdau]

+Hatagashira Balancing alone can't do much to a standard compressor (not that this compressor is far from standard). It looks as if the compressor has two large diameter pistons, but only a very short stroke, with the two pistons most likely being 180° out of phase. That's pretty much the only difference.

[@brainiac75]

+Hatagashira It wouldn't be easy. Generally air compressors need a lot of cooling so packing them too much in sound absorbing materials wouldn't be a good idea.

[@abecoulter18]

My stage haze machine has a silent compressor with similar motor

[@tomjackson6194]

Hey Brian, could you do a 'melting a magnet' video in the future?

[@brainiac75]

+TOMMA GEDDON (TOMMAGEDDON) That's not my plan. The magnet will lose its magnetism way before it melts so nothing interesting would happen?

[@tomjackson6194]

Oh okay, thanks for clearing that up for me.

[@jasonmiller8839]

Did the review say no oil? What mechanism does it use that doesn't require oil? A screw or pistons would need oil and I used to build vane compressors with magnesium vanes, great for high CFM, up to 128psi, but drank oil like a sponge.

[@timewave02012]

Cool compressor. What did you say at 5:13?

[@brainiac75]

+timewave02012 Click CC under the video and English + Danish subtitles should be available :)

[@timewave02012]

+Brainiac75 Thanks. Few people actually add subtitles, so most of the time that button activates auto-generated gibberish. I normally don't find your accent difficult to understand.

[@Geroellgeraet]

Interesting but it kind of seems like an ad. Hope they got you more than the compressor for the video.

[@brainiac75]

+SaltLord Nope, only the compressor and that's fine with me because everything in this video were my own ideas and decision. I guess sponsored review videos will always have a taste of being an ad - but I have never seen an ad with an explanation of the dB-scale and Bernoulli's Principle :P

[@MrPietjePuck]

Okay, so I have a question. This product seems to be marketed under different brands on ebay, with all similar specifications BUT the airflow. Mine is marketed at 45l/min, yours 89l/min! This is strange since the construction looks identical. So my check question is: How many seconds does it take your compressor to fill an empty (9l) tank? Regards, Erik

[@brainiac75]

Hi Erik. I have tested my unit: From 0-8 bar took 1 minute 17 seconds. That's an average of 56 l/min over the different pressure loads. The specifictation max l/min for air compressors is like max watts for an amplifier. You need more details to really know what it means. Implotex has a graph of l/min at different pressure loads on their website: www.implotex.de/silent-air-compressor/480w-silent-air-kompressor-druckluftkompressor-nur-48db-oelfrei-implotex/a-664/ Thanks for watching my video. - Brian

[@BERSERKERDEMON1]

Hi, i have a question: I never had a compressor so sorry if if my question sounds stupid. The time you can leave the compressor "ON" depends on the tank' volume or it can work H24/24 7/7?

[@imnotbeluga007]

It runs until a certain pressure, most commonly 8 bar.

[@davida1hiwaaynet]

Thank you for the good review of Implotex. Agreed about the leaded brass! We need lead - it is very important to industry. The uneducated whiners have villainized it however it is not dangerous if you follow simple precautions. Question - does the Implotex compressor use an oscillating permanent-magnet motor? I am guessing that it does not have a rotating motor and crankshaft? Did you investigate the mechanical mechanism by which it functions?

[@brainiac75]

Thanks for watching. This compressor does have a rotating motor and crankshaft. But in stead of a single, fast-moving longthrow piston it uses two pistons moving opposite to each other - balancing each other out. By doubling the number of pistons it also appears to be able to have a shorter throw and run at a lower pace. Or maybe it's just the silence fooling my senses :)

[@davida1hiwaaynet]

Interesting, thanks for the info!
