give a chance to openclipart.org - clipart there strictly under Public Domain

dia, the application, has sets of schematic symbols for various uses - I just "sudo apt-get install"-ed and find there's "pneumatic / hydraulic" and "Civil" (includes things like "aerator", "vertically aligned propeller") and "ChemEng" (includes things like "mixer", "valve", "injector", etc.). Looks like your best option. You can put all the items into a sheet and export them as SVG then you'll have them in Inkscape ... don't forget to check the license and then post them up online for others to use!

Also http://www.everystockphoto.com/ allows search based on licenses (eg CC-BY) as does Google now and probably other places too which you can search via http://search.creativecommons.org/ .
