Don't know how they work exactly but there is a converter that takes single
phase to 3 phase. I looked in McMaster Carr at work today and there one
they had was almost $800.00. I'm not sure how they work or what is involved
with hooking one up as I have not seen one in person.

if you happen to find a three phase compressor you can always buy a phase
generator for about $50.00
