Iam from india ( were its really difficult as a modeller)
I have recently bought a portable car tyre comprsor / pump but the problem is that the air is pumped in pulses. I need to know if my idea will work. I am planning to buy a used car innertube and fit a another tube / valve ( so i will have a inlet and a outlet ) to it. So the tyre works a resorvior and i get even pressure
ideas and comments welcome

The innertube will act as a resorvior and reduce pulses but you will need a pressure regulator / moisture trap between the tube and airbrush to be able to fully control air pressure to the brush.
A word of warning the tube should be over inflated or it could blow and cause injuries, fitting the tube to a wheel with a tyre can reduce this hazard.
Yep, it’ll work. A few comments though:
- if the inner-tube is ‘dirty’, you might get dirty air
- those compressors can crank out alot of pressure. You’ll need to watch the pressure in the tube so that it doesn’t overinflate/burst
- put a regulator on the outlet or you’ll get the same psi that is in the tube (which could be pretty high…)
Good luck!!

Thanks a lot guy’s !!
