    I do not know if this is a good department, but the question may be a bit unusual, so I am asking here.
    I need a compressor in my car. It is supposed to pump air up to 10 atmospheres. And the easiest way would be if it was powered by a 12V electric motor.
    Traditional, reciprocating compressor, e.g. from a farm tractor or a truck, driven by a V-belt through pulleys with a properly selected ratio.

    Are there any 12V electric motors available that would cope with this task? The point is that such an engine can pump air without problems, it can work for a longer time and that it does not overheat.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    By coincidence, I know that the compressor with a pressure of 10 bar in hydrogen-powered buses is driven by a 4kW motor at 400V AC.

    Rather, I do not think that it is possible to choose a 12V motor, it comes out 335A of the rated current. Of course it all depends on the pressure output, but I don't think a fuel cell bus needs less compressed air than a traditional vehicle.

    The easiest way is to convert the starter to the bearings.

    It will be difficult for you to use such a device in a car (probably a passenger car) due to the high demand for electricity. If you have a bigger car and a more powerful engine, you can use it to drive a traditional compressor. In this case, select only the place of its installation and install an additional pulley. If it is to be, for example, a (special) demonstration vehicle, which will "sway and jump" with the aid of pneumatics, then I suggest installing a larger air tank, filling it with a compressor first.

    The air will be used only for the pneumatic horn, for inflating the wheels and for blowing something with compressed air.

    Then you have to look for a smaller compressor :)
    Then the 12V bicycle motor - they are cheap, strong and adapted to continuous operation.

    A Chinese compressor is enough to inflate the tire and a small tank too.

    Could use something more efficient and not with a plastic plunger :)

    I propose a wheel compressor for off-road cars plus a cylinder, a safety valve, a pressure switch and a relay. Such a compressor has a power of 300-500W, quite high efficiency and decent build quality. I know because I use it myself. It costs about PLN 200. An old fire extinguisher can be used as a reservoir. For this, of course, a solenoid valve to start the horn and the appropriate pneumatic fittings for connecting the peripherals.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of using a 12V electric motor to power a car compressor capable of reaching 10 atmospheres (10 bar) of pressure. Various responses highlight the challenges associated with high current demands, suggesting that traditional compressors driven by a vehicle's crankshaft may be more efficient. Some users recommend specific types of compressors, such as those used in power steering systems or off-road vehicles, and mention the possibility of using a smaller 12V bicycle motor for continuous operation. Additionally, brands like VW and Audi are noted for having factory-equipped compressors that meet the specified requirements. The conversation also touches on the use of air tanks and pneumatic systems for various applications, including inflating tires and powering pneumatic horns.
