I don't know Steve, I'd call those compressors fair. :)  I think those
bigger compressors have a small internal combustion engine driving  a pump
that pressurizes a tank full of air. If he was going to cheat, he'd call
the compressors 2 cylinders instead of 1 each (one in the engine, and one
in the pump).
