My compressor in a sound test

Yeah with PROPER cooling and then a proper condensate trap, this compressor would not send any more water vapor into the storage tank, than any other compressor.
I am all for regular hydrostatic pressure testing of compressed air receiver tanks.
When they rot out from the inside along the bottom - and then rip open like a bomb - sending HUGE chunks of shrapnel around the place - VERY VERY NASTY.

Perhaps you should talk to James Dyson, the free mind that became big with vortex vacuumcleaners.

HI, by powerfull, do you mean that your invention is more efficient i.e is your pump giving more power per hp input compared to the other pumps? you know tesla pumps are the most silent ones
-
Yup, and 125 pounds per square inch isn't much when the leak that appears would be a small fraction of an inch. Even smaller than the bullet hole you mention below.
Corrosion is a gradual deterioration, not a catastrophic failure of a large surface area.
-
this weakened area creates a rapidly expanding rupture. Within fractions of a second what starts out as a crack is now a rupture the size of the entire bottom of the tank.
To reiterate, a tank shot by a gun and a tank rupturing due to corrosion are two TOTALLY different things.
You go ahead and put your and your employees' lives at risk if you wish, just send me your address so I know never to set foot inside your premises.

A tank getting punctured by a bullet is completely different from a tank rupturing due to corrosion.
When shot, the bullet pierces a hole into the tank which lets the compressed gas/air escape in a somewhat controlled fashion.
However, corrosion is different. A corroded tank loses strength over time. Gradually the corroded surface becomes weaker and weaker, until it can no longer hold the pressure and ruptures. Unlike the gunshot, the area around the rupture is weakened by corrosion, and

Ummm, no.
125 PSI = 125 pounds PER SQUARE INCH!!!!!
Calculate the surface area of the bottom of the tank in square inches. Multiply this by 125 pounds. That is how much force is being exerted by the air on that portion of the tank.
Now stop and think for a moment what would happen when all this energy is suddenly released. If you're lucky the tank will blast through the roof like a rocket. If you're not lucky it will send heavy steel shrapnel flying at you at high velocity..

It's not the Water, but the Air that causes rust, that's why it's called Oxidation.
Rather than Hydrozation, I made up a word :-)

You have an email I will send you a first hand photo of a ruptured air compressor. You will see it has absolutly nothing to do with JAWS. This is one I seen that the water erroded the bottom of the tank which was the cause of the rupter. Also I was replying to your comment about your 80gal tanks not the guys in the video.

Yeah, Ain't it Cool...
Our tanks only run up to 125 PSI, if a crack appeared it would not result in Catastrophe!
Only a leak that would prevent the compressor from building Pressure, then we would investigate why the Air tools aren't working, then replace the leaky tank.
Systems that run pressures as High as This Guy's do not use plain steel Accumulator Tanks but rather more like Welding tanks, or Diver's tanks.
BTW "JAWS" lied to You about what happens to a Diving Tank when Shot!
Condensation and water in air tools goes hand in hand with compressing air. Would the water in the compressor only exxagerate this problem?

not if you use a water trap, what you need anyway in Florida etc

What application would use this most for? Is it very heavy? Great channel of all your inventions.

This model is for work shops etc. The weight is about the same as a conventional compressor. The water add weight, but the compressor can be used without water also, therefore there are no restrictions in applications. It could also replace the screw compressor.
With my invention you get not that loud noise, no vibrations, no oil contaminations -- only cool air, because the air is directly cooled during the compression stage by water, what increases also the efficiency.

why don't you patent it?
