That link above is the only two options I'm looking at. They're compact compressor motors, but without a controller, I just assumed they'd only draw enough amps to make 5 HP at whatever voltage. Less than 5kW, in other words, regardless of voltage. Of course, if it won't take DC voltage, I guess I'd have to use a DC/AC inverter, which would probably put the whole thing out of reach in terms of what I was thinking about.
