Those that were following, know that this air motor was to be an "ultra-quiet" air compressor pump. Well the performance was abysmal. It wouldn't pump air worth a damn regardless of what I did to it.

The only thing to do was to build up a base and reassemble the thing into an air motor configuration.

As an air motor, it's works very well. The starting pressure is about 15 psi. The video's fastest speed was at 40 psi and it stalled around 7-10 psi.

Enjoy (or don't)...
