Lifting a car of 1500 Kg through air compressor

In summary, the conversation discusses lifting a car weighing 1500 kg using an air compressor and 50 nozzles. The speaker asks about the size and pressure of the nozzles, as well as the amount of force coming out of each nozzle. The responder questions the feasibility of the idea and suggests asking Randall Munroe, author of "What If".

If I want to lift a car of 1500 kg with a air compressor and with 50 nozzles, what should be the size of nozzles and what should be the pressure of air compressor and at what pressure will the air come out through nose so that it could be easily be lifted.

Nozzles? Is this an air mattress or a bunch of mini jet engines?
 
  • #3
How much force out of each nozzle?

Let me get this straight. Are you imagining something like an air hockey table, but with cars? It's a ludicrous idea. Maybe you should ask Randall Munroe, author of What If.
 

1. How does an air compressor lift a car?

An air compressor uses compressed air to create a force that lifts the car. The compressed air is released through a nozzle, creating a high-pressure stream of air that pushes against the car, lifting it up.

2. What is the maximum weight an air compressor can lift?

The maximum weight an air compressor can lift depends on its power and the size of the nozzle. For a car of 1500 kg, you would need a powerful air compressor with a large nozzle to generate enough force to lift it.

3. Can an air compressor lift a car without damaging it?

Yes, an air compressor can lift a car without damaging it if it is used correctly. It is important to use an air compressor with the right amount of power and to lift the car evenly to avoid any damage.

4. How long does it take for an air compressor to lift a car?

The amount of time it takes for an air compressor to lift a car depends on its power and the size of the nozzle, as well as the weight of the car. Generally, it should only take a few seconds for the car to be lifted.

5. Is lifting a car with an air compressor safe?

As long as it is done correctly and with the right equipment, lifting a car with an air compressor is safe. It is important to follow safety precautions, such as wearing protective gear and using the correct amount of pressure, to avoid any accidents or injuries.
