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.
