Using a Karcher to drive a booster?!

Think about it....Using a Karcher to drive a booster?!
Another huge difference is high pressure liquids contain very little energy. 3000 PSI of water is only bad if you get hit with a narrowly focused stream at close range. For the most part a failed hose, O-ring, etc is just water being dumped on the ground. Even a large cylinder filled with high pressure water failing is just the water falling onto the floor. Compressed gassed have a lot of potential energy stored in them. They will take out doors, windows, lift roofs, and generally be a bomb that goes off.Think about it....
Water is so much easier to make HP because it can't compress.
Is not flammable, and can leak on the ground. Only disadvantage is you need a ram thats SS or brass.
The same thing can be done with hydraulics, (but dont use it for oxygen, unless it has 2 different rams.)
My main HP compressor at home.
Is a 6inch diameter hydraulic cylinder with a floating piston. 1cuft displacement, (at 150 psi shop air pumps approximately 10 cuft per stroke,)
Shop air is dryed, and pushes the piston, down. Hydraulic pump runs on a timer and cycles, that's how I pump 95% of all my air,
then I have my portable buaur compressor.
Not sure about that.... you might me right. But a normally plumbed working hydraulic systems gets quite hot.Liquids don't compress, don't generate heat in the same way. There is still heat generated in the pumping of fluids, but it is more of a frictional loss. Not the compression of gasses.
Clearly not strong enough for some folk.Pretty strong words for a valve you haven't seen from a guy you don't know and a shop you've never been in. Good to be cautious, but really!
