Miniature High Pressure Air Compressor for Tank Refills??

[AGD]

All,

We were discussing today the possibility of a very small (and hopefully cheap) air compressor that could fill your tank to 4500 psi. The downside is that it would take over night to do it. This we think is similar to recharging a battery etc.

So the question is, if there was a reasonably priced air compressor the size of a pocket camera would it be something you would buy if it took over night to fill?? It would probably plug in the wall.

For a reasonable price i would be interested. It would not be something i intend to use for a day of playing backyard ball but it would be great for those times when i am at home troubleshooting and maintaining my markers and havent had a chance to top off my tanks before i left the field. The other advantage would be to top off my tank before i get to the field to eliminate one extra step i would need to take to help get me on the field faster.

Price point?

I'd probably spend $50-75, particularly if it could be regulated down to 3k for scuba tanks.

Ha and no chance of a slam fill? I'll take Two[2] whats your paypal?

Like everything else price dependent I'm very interested. As it stands I have enough tanks that all of them filled would last me a day and some change of play. So yeah, I'd love to be able to plug into the house and fill my tanks. Auto shut off at desired PSI or timer on it and such and I'd love to have one to work with.

Mr. AGD brings this up? Me thinks he dropped the DB and Dino stuff for a minute! WOOT WOOT!!!! Let's see what ya got Tom!

How about one that is bigger, but reasonably sized that can fill a bottle faster?

How long to fill a scuba tank up?

It costs me $4.50 to fill my scuba tank.

I can't even imagine how something that small could fill to that pressure. But i'm glad you can

Excellent Idea

I have two tanks that get me thru a case of paint with my mag no problem so two nights before I'll fill up and be ready to go. Plus having air around when you need to tinker with your level 10 never hurts either.

I would rather have it double sized and be able to fill a scuba tank or two tanks both linked to it.

The problem with one tank is it just isn't enough for a full day of play. If it could fill two or three I think friends could go in on one etc.

I would buy one for the right price. I have a 600$ booster and think it was definitely worth the money.

Fast costs more, how much you wanna spend?

Question, what would it cost me to buy what I need to do a 4500psi fill now? Even if it took fifteen minutes or more.

I would in a heart beat. Always been looking for one

[Spider-TW]

I would love one. I can think of lots of other things that I could use it for also.

The liability of the unattended operation might be difficult though.

[axpkai]

That would be awesome!! Yes, it would be useful

Not to derail but..

4.50 .. jeez! I can get my tank filled with Nitrox for 50 cents more!

I'm all for it. As has been said by many, as long as the price is reasonable. I'm thinking sub-$75, considering a scuba fill (to 3k) is $3, and I can fill my HP tank 10-15 times with that before I'm down to around 1.2k or so. I wouldn't mind it being even the size of a small radio and filling 2-3 times faster if that is a possibility. Maybe being able to run it off of a cig lighter in the car so you can fill one tank at least a little bit while the other is being used. Can't wait to see where this one goes.
