    That would be a sure fire way to twist the drive shaft off.

    Hurry up and finish that thing, I need more octane!!!

    If I remember correctly, that is for a compressor to make the octane booster for gasoline. The oil lines, I made that mistake too, are actually wires leading to a sensor to feed back temps to a monitoring computer. I believe Lance says there are four cylinders on that bad-ass compressor compressing the gases to 3000 psi? That's one awesome compressor. I want one for my garage.

    Yes, that is a con-rod out of an HHE I-R compressor for compressing hydrogen. This machine actually runs 300 RPM and compresses up to 2300 psi on the 4th cyilinder. Greg, the 3200 psi compressors are BDC&#39;s which are a little smaller than this. It&#39;s just like a car engine except there is no ignition and has a 13,000 HP motor driving the crankshaft. Yes, this is on an Ultracracker Unit which produces high octane gasoline. That con-rod weighs about as much as 4 complete LS1&#39;s with transmissions connected to them. You should see us install one of these bad boys&#33;&#33; LOL
