Hi all. Just avoiding work today and had a thought. Would a moderately sized 12v DC motor run an automotive compressor/AC system? Was thinking one could assemble an AC system based on a 12 V motor and install it in the front area of a Vanagon. Shorter lines, no heat from engine bay ...... Likely someone has thought of this, and likely it isn't possible, i.e a big enough DC motor would draw too much, but I am curious. Cheers, Neil Nicholson. 1981 Air Cooled Westfalia.
