Abstract
A new oiless air compressor and vacuum pump design features at least two synchronously rotating disks whose rotations are at intersecting angles of rotation. As each disk rotates, it carries at least one piston or cylinder alternatively to and from its mate. Therefore, a moving piston in a cylinder is used to compress the air. The resultant compressor ideally configured has two pair of six each centrally mounted opposing pistons. It can output 120 p.s.i.g. for 50,000 hours.
