Our society uses "compressors" to do many things. The most simple compressor is a hand bike tire pump. The up and down motion of the hand pump can be replaced with a motor that plugs into either the wall or a 12V outlet. Although a hand pump are very useful for pumping up a tire, it is too much "work" for most situations that need a compressor.

- - to inflate car/bike tires,
- - to spray paint,
- - as a means of storing/packaging gases in "high pressure cylinders" for specialized uses,
