Yesterday, I saw the coolest air compressor ever! The owner said that the tank came from some railroad application. It was about 8 feet in diameter and 20 feet long. It was fed by a little homemade single cylinder compressor driven by a windmill. Compressor feeds the tank 24 hours a day as long as there's wind. The guy was a little vague about how long it takes to fill the tank.
