Bill Wade has been in the “front line” of industrial pneumatics sales, moved up the corporate ladder to the top, abandoned the corporate race a few years ago, and writes about compressed air on a great site http://www.about-air compressors.com from his 15 acres of wilderness in eastern, Ontario, Canada. He can be reached via the contact page on that site.
He’s moving further into the internet “jungle”, now publishing a travel site about his home town, www.all-about-ottawa.com .
He’s developed quite a skill set at coding web sites, and is running a home-based business offering those skills to folks that need a little help with building their own sites. This is that site.
Bill I can’t find any other way of contacting you.
I have added a link to this Blog on my Energy Boomer blog.
You have a wealth of great information to share.
Thanks

Hey Simon:
Yes, very interesting. I don’t have any information about the trompe system. Maybe some other readers do?

HI
I have an application where I would like to collect hydrogen as it is produced, at a rate of 1 liter per minute. This would be mixed with outside air at a rate of 50-50 and then stored in a tank at about 50lbs. Once the unit reached 40lbs it would kick on and replenish. Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Hey Chris….I haven’t a clue.
Hopefully someone reading this blog entry that knows something about your subject will respond. Compressing hyrdrogen might be a bit tricky, as it’s pretty flammable, isn’t it?
Anyway, good luck on someone offering assistance.
Cheers,
Bill

I’ve been looking for an air compressor that runs on electric, a 120v line but I need the maximum CFM I can get. Looking for around 8 CFM. Do you have any references on equipment?
Jonathon, you say you need 8 CFM but you don’t indicate the pressure you need that flow at. Without knowing the PSI requirements of your application too, you cannot figure out how big an air compressor you will need. Also, the power supply of 120 VAC limits your options as to compressor size as well. Wander over to the http://www.about-air-compressors.com website for lots of info on sizing an air compressor.
