This is for anyone who's old school and still uses diesel air compressor-powered tools.
I'm doing what I like to call "reconstructing my childhood" in Blender. I'm trying to recreate a pair of Fast Lane Construction playsets that contained (if purchased together) two excavators (one with a hammer and one with a bucket), one front loader, a semi truck with a concrete mix trailer and a dump trailer, a highway maintenance pickup with a lane control arrow board, a single body dump truck, a single body concrete mix truck, a mining style dump truck, a knuckle boom delivery flatbed truck with a flatbed pony trailer, and two diesel generators (about the size of a pickup's flatbed and can be towed from behind on one axle).
This is where I need your help: I need to know the parts and functions of a diesel air compressor (with illustration pictures (manual diagrams, visual pics, etc.)) as from what I know and witnessed, diesel air compressors power pneumatic machines and tools like jackhammers, some circular saws, and what are known as "air track" drills.
I know there's an engine there, which is the most obvious part. But what else is in a diesel air compressor that helps it to compress air and power the tool or machine it's attached to?
