looks like a good deal. 500 watt or higher will run it. and by the way the idiot that told you to convert a freon tank to a air tank you need to ignore. aside from it being illegel the main reason for not doing this is moisture is in compressed air. The inside of a freon tank is uncoated steel. When moisture and uncoated steel are combined rust forms. the tank will rust from inside out and eventally blow up.Thats why a "freon"tank has a one way check valve on it so they cannot be refilled.

an ac and a dc electric motor are totally different inside. a dc motor is a single phase magnet influenced armature that turn where as an ac motor is a bit different, not using any magnets at all and using up to three phases from what i under stand.

I would still go with a cheap DC unit and run it into a holding
tank with a one way check valve,you can use a large empty
freon container from a AC repair shop,they make kits for these
to be air tanks.
