The rotatable hollow shaft 1 comprises: its end position 1 D which is sealed (this end portion 1 D is not connected to the receiving container 19). The two ends of the rotatable hollow shaft 1 are respectively installed on the two supports 14, 15 which respectively have the seal type support 16, 17, so that they can be easily operated and rotated by the speed reducing device and rotate at the same time each air compressor device. The seal type supports 16, 17 are respectively installed on an upper end of each of the two carriers 14, 15. The other end portion 1 E of the rotatable hollow shaft 1 is inserted in the receiving container 19 and for unloading or transporting outwardly all the compressed air to the receiving container 19, to be then provided to the user for use.

The long and very heavy solid piston of each air compressor device further comprises a piston ring having a function as that of the conventional piston. The long and very heavy solid piston and the long cylinder of each air compressor device are each made in a way that includes a quadrangle.

The air compressor of the present invention further comprises a small convex control shoulder 50 (so small that it is similar to a hemispherical protuberance), installed in the concave portion within the long cylinder of each air compressor device that can automatically protrude in a manner lightly outward or backward to control the long, very heavy solid plunger of the air compressor device to propel down only as the plunger rotates to a position on or around the vertical line, which is capable of controlling the Solid piston, long and very heavy so that it does not push down before it reaches a position on the vertical line, or around it. For coupling the small convex control jump 50, the arms of the two ends of the long and very heavy solid piston of each air compressor device are respectively formed in the form of an arc, so that not only the long and very heavy solid piston it can compress and easily pass the small convex control shoulder 50 and can be pushed down to compress air, when it rotates to the upper end of the vertical line, but can also easily be retracted to its original position to propel downwards and compress air again , when the solid, long and very heavy piston rotates to the lower end of the vertical line.
