Greg as you already well know SURE its possible to run a 120 VAC compressor using adequate battery and Inverter power WELL DUH I cant believe anyone here doesn't already know that AND YOU DO FOR SURE...……..
As an electrical engineer and long ago Century Electric Motor Company engineer plus long time RV Inverter user I agree with you sure its possible WELL DUH lol Of course and I posted and most already know, it may take 3 to 5 or more times current to START a motor then to RUN it. That's why an Inverter needs much more then the run wattage rating, it has to have sufficient surge capacity to get the darn motor started grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
If one needs a small compressor to air up a car or truck tire they might choose
A) A 120 VAC unit plus a 12 VDC to 120 VAC Inverter BUT BIG ENOUGH TO START THE MOTOR plus run it
b) A 12 VDC Compressor NO INVERTER NEEDED. The RV community like ViAir 12 VDC units
C) A Gas powered compressor
There are advantages and disadvantages to allllllllllll of them. One may be more efficient,,,,,,,,,one may be more economical,,,,,,,,,,,one may be more practical BUT ITS A PERSONS CHOICE NOT OURS
SO GO FOR WHICHEVER METHOD YOU CHOOSE AND REST ASSURED, an Inverter will work, a 12 VDC will work, a Gas powered will work
Pleasure chatting with you Greg
God Bless America, keep her safe strong and great, I bet all can agree to that

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
