Hi all,
A simple question..... If I have a 100Psi air pump (Pump # 1) & i enclose that pump in a sealed enclosure held at 100Psi. What pressure should i expect out of the enclosed pump if i am measuring the output pressure at atmospheric pressure level? Will it be simply 100Psi or 100+100= 200Psi or will it be 100x100 = 10000Psi ? I am an electronic guy thinking of above scenario... Thanks in advance

europus2002,
Perhaps it would help if you told us why and for what purpose you want to pressurize this thing that has a volume of 500cc.

And how many 'things' a day you need to pressurize.

If you go liquid then a hand pump would be very practical. Like Enerpac pumps for hyraulic jack. and cylinders.

Interesting link for the air pump. That will, of course, require far more energy than a hyraulic pump.
