The 12 volt compressors sold in the UK must be far supperior to to those
available here in the states! On several occasions I have tried to run 12
volt compressors for long durations and after about 3 hours the windings
burn out!

Yes I agree the refridgerator compressors are real work horses and a saidly
neglected resource. As for compressed air without electrical supply, the
battery operated units sold in fishing supply or bait stores are probably
the best bet economicaly. I don't know where one might get them but I
understand there are so called oxygen tablets used when mailing fish
across country, sounds like they would be great for a few days or so.
