I dunno but good luck finding an air compressor that will flow that much air. 750cfm is crazy.

They have kits for these to make them run off of natural gas from what I was reading online about them.

I understand electric, hydro, and air motors, but ng? how the heck does that work? Fuel fired winches now?

I think that they are used on offshore oil rigs.
