Okay I see how it works kind of. Is this hand/custom made?

That would be a fun project to take home... looks like it may be set up 2 high side 2 low side... still, I bet that put out a SIGNIFICANT volume of air. (not to mention probably a considerable amount of oil in the air stream from blow-by - wouldn't want to use it to fill my SCBA tanks!)

What would be even more fun (see how I am) is to replace the electric motor with another T motor to drive it.
