I pretty sure that they have a pressure regulator. I hooked two together with a tee and only one would run at a time. I was hoping to get a little more volume.

I also use one of those.... the compressor anyway. 
They work great! Plenty of pressure.

Thanks for the heads up on this - I have been looking for a while now for an additional compressor and have now found a suitable candidate which works very well:

I added an air bleed valve to alter the pressure output.

Congrats!  It's about time someone else did this.

Yes, they really do work, putting out a pretty good pressure.
Not a hi-volume pressure but enough to run most engines I can afford.

Anyone else ever try using a nebulizer to run engines? I scrapped a couple at work today due to the packages being damaged. Decided to bring one home to see if it would drive an engine not really expecting much success.Much to my surprise it runs the Perseus at a pretty good clip with its 3/4 X 1 inch cylinder.I should have tried this a long time ago seeing as how I’ve been there 19 years, and have thrown away countless numbers of them. Sorry I don’t have video.
