Paul,

Do you or anyone that you know, know how well a rotary _driven_ by an
electric motor would function as an airpump (compressor) ?

I am toying with an idea for an old engine that was given to me.

I really can't put any numbers on it.
Probably rather well as p-ports could be added where needed.
I suspect but can't prove you want the outlet p-port to open
just as the inlet p-port is closing. Unless you are talking
compressor mode. Then you will be limited to about 150 psi
absolute and 135 psi relative due to the 10:1 compression
ratio.
