well, 100 gallons at 3000 psi is 3333 gallons at 90 psi, which is 443 cubic feet, or 110 minutes. However, most air tools are rated for cfm's at atmospheric pressure, which is 14.7 psi at the surface, so 2714 minutes. This is average usage, not continuous, but still quite a long time. Now, if you go down 33 feet, the pressure doubles, so you have to cut the time down - the actually calculation is hazy, as the ambient pressure doubles, but the pressure differential does not - however, you will need to increase the pressure going to the tool by 15 psi for every 30 feet of depth, or else it won't work right.

How do you make hole drilling where at the exit the drill has partial entry in to the wall thickness which makes the load nonuniform on the drill and hence drill breaks and size is not maintained?

There are a few ways of doing it depending on the exact geometry, size, and tolerance. You could drill the hole before cutting the profile that results in the partial entry. You could drill very carefully and slowly, stepping up the drill from a small size to the final size, if the smaller size would enter complete. You could make a fixture to fit over the part so the drill is guided into it. There are low melting alloys you can pour around the area to make a complete entry. You then melt the alloy away.


How does the jackhammer work?

The jackhammer is started by pushing on the handle. The inside of a jackhammer includes: a circuit of tubes, a heavy piledriver, and a drill bit at the bottom. Once the jackhammer has started air enters the jackhammer from a compressor which then passes it on to a valve on one side of the jackhammer. The pressurized air flows throughout the circuit inside of the jackhammer. A valve inside the jackhammer then closes changing the direction of the air. forcing the piledriver to rise and the drill bit to follow. In a short time the valve opens again pounding the piledriver into the drill bit and into the ground.
