<div dir="ltr"><div>Hank, I think most airbags are inflated with chemical reaction not a compressor or pump. What might work is a shop vac. Portable shop vacuums have a radial impellor that looks like a pump radial compressor. These units typically have a lot of flowrate at 150-160 cfm and generate 1.5 to 2 psi of head. This should be able to inflate a MBT quickly if the suction side is connected to surface air. Most of these are like 1.5 to 2 hp and run off AC. I am sure you could find one with a DC motor.</div><div><br></div><div>cliff</div><div><br></div><div>BTW, are you coming to the psub convention?</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 12, 2016 at 11:22 AM, hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><div dir="ltr">Has anyone installed a low pressure air pump to fill MBT's when you get to the surface.

A small pump used for air bags on cars and trucks would work perfect.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div dir="ltr">Hank</div></font></span></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
