Help Make Everyday life Much Easier by Buying a Portable Air Compressor   by Emelia Morseton

There has recently been a large increase in the number of people who own a portable air compressor . This is true not only of the professional or contractor but also in the home. Air compressors have become quiter, more efficient and above all more portable due to improvements in technology. Many projects, before the mainstream use of compressors, needed a lot of energy and hard work. But nowadays it is common to find air compressors in all surroundings, ranging from the home workshop to job sites. Probably the thing that has changed most over the last few years is the portability of compressors, these are generally much lighter and very easy to transport from site to site, or to store away when not being used. This portability also allows jobs to be carried out a faster time frame.

As with any product, there are lots of things to consider when you are thinking of buying a portable air compressor. The first thing to think about before looking at what is on offer is to consider what jobs you want to carry out. Is it for use in business or just around the home? If you are in the home you will particularly want to choose a compressor that is one of the quieter ones unless you have a workshop where you won’t disturb your family or neighbors. You should think about whether you want to buy an electric or a gas powered portable compressor. There are advantages to both types but the gas powered ones are definitely to be recommended. It is true that you might want to buy an electric one if you want to avoid problems with fumes. But a gas powered one will give higher reliability and durability if used often and provides you with the convenience to work in places where there isn’t any power.

Following that you must consider your pressure your requirements. For airbrushing, a 30 psi compressor with a five liter tank should do the job. For more capacity you just need a bigger tank. This is something to consider because you might end up waiting for the tank to fill all the time if you really need a larger total capacity.

So what sort of project is most suitable for a portable air compressor? Well a power nailer is a good example. You certainly don’t need to worry about hammering nails day after day or the possibility of injury. Just rely on your power nailer to do the job and it will, faster and more efficiently. A portable air compressor will allow you to drive several thousand nails each day; something that could never be contemplated if doing it by hand.

We should not forget other common reasons for buying a portable air compressor. Many people want to make sure that their tires are kept at the correct pressure and also to have an emergency air supply if they get a flat. These compressors tend to be smaller 12V types that run from the car battery. 12V compressors are also of great benefit to campers for inflating mattresses and the like.

If perhaps I wanted to name some of the better brands, I would definitely include Campbell Hausfeld, Porter Cable, Senco, Dewalt and Makita in the list, as manufacturers of the finest portable air compressors.

Why Plasma Cutter Is Called As the Modern Welding Machine?

Plasma cutting is a process that is used as an important tool in metal fabrication industry and many of them say that this machine is called as the modern welding machine, but do you all know one thing, this welding process and welder is surviving since 1960. Even though it is available from 1960, it is not called as the old type of welding machine, but still it is called as the modern one. This is a great credit for this welding machine and the inventor. Let us see what speciality has made this welding machine to acquire such a name in the welding market.

Plasma cutters stand apart from its competitor welders such mig welder, tig welder and arc welder due to its clean cuts, high accuracy and ease of doing work. When it was first invented, it was not as good in technical and technological aspects, but later on the users came to understand the importance about this welding machine and made some changes in it. Due to these changes, it is now reflecting as a pure diamond in the welding market. It has all the features and this welder use the gas called plasma and this plasma gas has all the capacity to melt the metal with ease due to its high temperature. It uses the high frequency high voltage to ionize the air and the best part is it is used in cnc machineries and even replaced the laser cutting process in all aspects though it does not use any laser features.

This welding machine is now available in ten different types and they are super cut 40, super cut50, super cut 50p, power plasma 50, power plasma 60, power plasma 60E, power plasma 70, power plasma 80 and power plasma 100. It uses both Toshiba and Infineon igbt inverter type and uses a high frequency start type. It cuts metals of different thickness and typically used in many applications. The plasma cutter has all the sizes and features that you look for and has over current warning facility with post flow timer that has the capability to save the life time of the consumables that is used in welding. It is less in weight and has come with new engineered models with smaller nozzle and thinner plasma arc.

It does some double roles such as plasma cutting and plasma gouging in the same plasma cutter machine. It is used to remove the weld from metals and has been widely used in many applications with different torch configurations and performance. So as I said above, it is scientifically good in all aspects and this welder has all the rights to conquer the title. So when you buy plasma cutter, buy with care so that you can get the best one in the market. There are no records for inventory details, but really the one who invented this machine should be a great person with lots of talent.

Eco-friendly Electric RC Cars Vs Speedy Nitro Cars

You might be wondering what kind of RC toy cars you will buy from the nearby toy shop. Normally, you will be given two choices when you inquire at a local toy store. One is a nitro car and the other one is the electric car. It is very essential that you know the difference of the two so that the toy car that you are going to buy will fit your requirements. But if you will ask the more experienced RC car owners, they would suggest that you buy any of the electric RC cars first before eventually going for the nitro cars.

The differences of the two types are more on the speed and the way to power them. Apparently, you will need chargeable batteries for electric RC cars. On the other hand, you need to have fuel for nitro cars. But when it comes to excitement and fun, both types can actually give you a good time.

Aside from providing a thrilling experience, playing electric RC cars doesn’t harm the environment because these cars are made of eco-friendly components. Compared to nitro cars that run on fuel, this electric type of toy cars is being powered by electricity. On top of that, these electric toy cars don’t create noise. So for beginners, electric RC cars are actually the best ones to choose.

But if you are looking for speed and loud rumbling noise, the Nitro RC car is a great choice. With a speed up to 75 mph and handling similar to a scale car, these vehicles are very exciting for the serious hobbyist.

Nitro radio controlled vehicles get their name from the fuel the car uses. Nitro fuel is a combination of nitromethane, methanol and oil. The nitrogen component makes the fuel high performance as it is more completely burned than fuel with oxygen alone. Even with the higher performance, unspent fuel will coat the machine during use. Another down side is that this fuel is highly flammable and poisonous. Great care is important in cleaning up spills and cleaning the vehicle after use. Because of the nature of the fuel, it is important to operate Nitro RC cars outside in an open space. This is not a car for a child to operate on the sidewalk!

These high performance vehicles require skill and extra care. The engines are two-stroke, utilizing a carburetor and throttle similar to a regular car. They require special starters such as a glow plug ignite system or starter pack. Also an air filter is required in this machine. Special tuning of the engine is required. Maintenance for these vehicles is similar to a full sized racing car. Frequent oil, fluid changes and replacement of tires, shocks and other parts will be necessary. The engine will need to be rebuilt frequently. All of these factors make Nitro RC cars a very expensive hobby for the skilled enthusiast. A newbie to the remote controlled world may want to start with electric RC cars, vehicles that have an electric motor before trying out nitro based machines.

The vehicle upside is that they are simply fun to run. The noise of the engine is similar to a regular racing care. Although they initially require time to learn how to run and maneuver, they handle similar to a larger car. The advantage over an electric machine is that they run longer during a session and do not require a chassis breakdown to change out a spent battery. So if you are ready for the rumble and excitement, choose a nitro car but if you love the environment go for the electric RC cars.
