Air-powered appliances are an alternative for those living off the grid. Compressed air is stored in large air tanks, some the size of an LP tank. Air Compressors are powered by gasoline, diesel, motors, or utilize wind and water wheel power. Without leaks at the fittings, the air tank will hold hours of use and takes only a few minutes to re-pressurize.

Appliances have been converted by an Amish shop that specializes in sizing airpower motors to use in place of standard electric motors. Air motor conversions are expensive but with fewer parts to go bad they will likely outlast electric motors.
Requires 90 PSI and between 37 CFMs. Some air motors running wide open can use up to 45 CFMs. Most 110V air compressors will not handle this type of volume on a continuous basis. Tabletop kitchen appliances generally run for only a few minutes at a time and are not like running an air motor sander continuously in a body shop.
To maintain a long motor life an inline oiler should be used to provide a droplet of oil every minute.
