Thank you all for your replies.
I have abondened the fridge compressor idea because of the power usage and you have to have an oil flowing with it. Ezlid I already use an automotive oil pump to power my oil system (need continuos oil flow through the turbocharger) so I guess i could strap on an automotive fuel pump, but if i do i have to go look for .5 hp electric motor to get a nice pressure on it and thats another big pain in the arse.
Ben what are the pumps that you are talking about?
And I've been thinking that i can just can fuel tanks inside my craft and "pre pressurize" my fuel before take off. That would save me from lots of problems trying to fit everything and setting up the dc power and such.
Ezlid right now i am not sure whether to use mechanical energy or thrust. I am kinda leaning towards thrust but i am not sure. If i can figure out a nice way to set up a very stable coupling and find some small reduction gears I'll go with mechanical to power a prop.
Thank you all for your replies btw.
