Ingersoll-Rand Vintage air compressor build January 1968

Just got this one running. Don’t see too many of them. Sold by Mongomery Ward and dates from the 1930’s.

Working example of a Servex 2 stroke petrol air compressor. Manufacture date 1-12-55

MODEL : 130202 TYPE : 0523-03 CODE : 76012607 DOM – January 26, 1976 I pulled the muffler to check it, and the muffler port for carbon deposits. This is what I found. Campbell Hausfeld air compressor was used to blow them out.

This is the engine that was converted from an old special tilt piston air compressor. This is the exact same principal from a certain type of "Air Hogs" plane engine. In the opener the engine was running at 35-50 psi and the second start was around 75-80 psi. Top RPMS so far is 1700 at 110 PSI. The timing still needs some work. Solenoid Valves with a Reed Switch and a Magnet are great ways of testing air/steam engines to perfect the timing. A slide valve will eventually be needed as the solenoid valve is rated at 100000 – 1000000 cycles. This engine would wear it out in a day. The flywheel is wafer board (simple easy but not balanced or perfected). Not shown, top voltage from a permanent magnet motor (tread mill) 21 volts, top load 75 watts. The belt started slipping and the timing was hard to get back to perfect for the load. This engine will run 4 minutes on a full 10 gallon tank of air. The last minute is slow around 500 rpms to 50 rpms. A NEW DISCOVERY IN FREE ENERGY!! The LT Magnet motor get the blueprints at: lWWW.LT-MAGNET-MOTOR.COM

Opening up some old (1950s/1960s?) refrigeration compressors that I got from the junkyard.

three nice engines made from small air compressors.
