I just replaced the A/C compressor in our Ford Freestar minivan two weekends ago. It was a PITA because of how tight everything was.
Of course I couldn't help myself from opening up the old compressor and having a look inside. I had no idea they were so complicated! There were like 5 pistons in there that all went up and down on a curved circle of metal. Reminded me of a fair ride haha.

Ahhhh swash plate pumps. I believe they tried to design an engine like that a few years back and it never got off the ground. the pressure washer pumps are known to wear out quickly |

I followed the DynaCam engine for years,looked like a promising design that got an FAA type certificate,, www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJSLDq7MkhQSeems the swash plate is subjected to very high loading as a combustion engine and that was/is the drawback to this neat design.. Now back to A/C,,  |

I hope you made more than that!
Kept wondering what you guy's were talking about when you said it had a swash plate. I thought they were only used on helicopter rotors, but with your video I get it now. Cool beans.

Piston pumps like that are used in hydraulic systems also. The fluid has to be real clean. Pressure washer pumps wouldn't last long at all with all the crap in water.
