Answers:
Mine works off of compressed air.
Hook it up to the ac unit.
Attach the air hose to it, and it'll pull a system down to minus 10.
Minus 29 is supposed to be absolute vacumn if I remember right, so that's pretty good for a 15 dollar vacumn pump out of Harbor Frieght Catalog.

vacuum pumps come both ways if you need alot of vacuum go with a unit that has a at least a 5 gallon tank this will help as your only going to be able to pull a max.of 28 psi of vacuum even with a brand new unit the smaller units will work as well just plumb it to a tank to store your vacuum pressure it will help when you apply vacuum to your forming machine
