I talked to a dude at the company, here's some interesting info:

- The compressor will drain a regular car battery in 1 minute if you run it non stop, but he recommended some giant batteries you can get that will run if for about 15 minutes straight. Daisy chain a couple...

- He said you could easily add a 30-40 gallon air tank to the setup and fill it to 150 psi. From that you could fill a bunch of kites, tank is like a big capacitor. He said it could fill the tank in 5 minutes.

- The compressor runs at over 10 cfm at low PSI, same as shop air compressor!

Now we just need to figure out how much solar we need.

If this could run off of a car battery, it should be good for batteries backed by solar panels right?

East was fun 5-7 ... little of everything... light, strong, rain, sun. Got a train conductor to toot and give me a thumbs up by doing a jump, that's a new one for me. Very Happy
