I have a small hobby project I am working on that has nothing to do with Jeeps, offroading or even vehicles. But I have a technical question that deals with air compressors and I thought this may be the best place to find the technical know how to find an answer. (move my post if you need to).
My project has the need of compressed air. Somewhat high pressure (100psi) but very low volume. The biggest concern is noise. I want to be able to have a small tank (maybe 1 gallon) that can be charged slowly. My question is: can I take a regular small air compressor that is capable of 100psi and put a slow turning, high torque motor on it that will charge the tank over a long period of time (like 12 to 24 hours). That way reducing the noise level to about nothing. If there is no technical restriction to this, where can I find the parts? This will run indoors so the capability to operate on normal household current is a must.
