RE: I'm not, but Why can't I

I think you are right; it has to do with DEATH, avoiding it. Compressors
don't normally clean the air. In fact some allow oil vapors to get into
the air. I suspect a breathing air compressor has to filter the air very
well. BTW, have you ever sniffed the air coming out of a vacuum cleaner?

Looking through tool wish books I noticed that the air supply units used
for
supplying breathing air while spray painting are pretty expensive for
something that does only one thing, pump  air.  There must be a very
good
reason why I've never seem a  "Build your own Portable Breathing Air
Compressor " ?
Aren't they basically  a Vacuum Cleaner set up on 'blow' ?
 This is one of those things that seems so simple that I figured people
would be doing it big time  but since  I've never heard of anyone who
has
done it  I figure that there must be some good reason like DEATH
involved
Anyone know why its not done ?
