right now just based on the assumption of 1 watt.

P=EI
P/E=I
1W/12V=.0833333A=833mA
E=IR
E/I=R
12V/.083333A=144ohms

Tomorrow I'll hook up the compressor and give this a try. Also if anyone was wondering the project is basically a claymore for airsoft games. I've already assembled most of the project, but when it's done you'll be able to stake down the claymore and run back to a position with the clacker (not sure if that's the technical term but it's the switch I'm using to set off the claymore) and then when you hit the switch it'll shoot baking soda, flour etc. (In airsoft most claymores and mines shoot flour or a similar material instead of bbs)
