Compressor Overheating
So our team just finished building a t-shirt cannon, but the problem is that we seem to be getting our compressors really hot. we mounded fans over them to cool them down as seen in some of the pictures that I posted up, but I am wondering if there is any kind of heat sink that can be purchased to allow more heat dissipation?

Thanks for any help!!
