Abstract
A new oiless air compressor and vacuum pump design features at least two synchronously rotating disks whose rotations are at intersecting angles of rotation. As each disk rotates, it carries at least one piston or cylinder alternatively to and from its mate. Therefore, a moving piston in a cylinder is used to compress the air. The resultant compressor ideally configured has two pair of six each centrally mounted opposing pistons. It can output 120 p.s.i.g. for 50,000 hours.

An axial piston gas compressor comprising:
- a stationary spindle assembly;
- said stationary spindle assembly further comprising an axial piston spindle having a central axis and a cylinder spindle having a central axis;
- said cylinder spindle central axis obliquely disposed to said axial piston central axis;
- a rotating piston disk rotatably mounted on said axial piston spindle;
- a rotating cylinder housing rotatably mounted on said cylinder spindle;
- said rotating cylinder housing having an axial limit disposed entirely above the central axis of the axial piston spindle;
- means for synchronously rotating said rotating piston disk and said rotating cylinder housing;
- said rotating piston disk having a connection means to a piston;
- said rotating cylinder housing further comprising a cylinder slidingly engaged with said piston;
- means for input of the gas into said cylinder;
- and
- means for output of the gas from said cylinder.
