That's a neat solution to getting everything to turn

Hi Roger , yes and I am allways rescuing and recycling discarded electrical and mechanical items ...they allways seem to turn up just when I need them ?!!!

Pretty neat!

That is very cool! 

So, how'd you do that?  Is it an electrical thing (like current sensing?) or is it a mechanical thing?  Inquiring minds want to know!

Hi All  I was going to say  "MAGIC"  But as it is a synchronous motor from a microwave it just does it ???  I am sure if Einstein was still with he would have a solution ??!!

Hi All , I am back in the workshop after some time spent at the allotment... As the compressor is a demonstration model I have made the water flow direction plates. these were made from blue and white perspex on a Laser cutter ...I will also make a clear perspex cylinder block that is missing from the base plate. so still more work....

Those flow direction plates are really a nice touch! They look good too.
