Oh ... Oh! Where's I put that air compressor [it's around here somewhere] =oO

I bought a small air compressor for exactly this purpose, but now prefer using a leaf blower. Much faster. I have seen some bad ones, full of dust, pet hair, nasty smoke residue, and spiders. Many people see their computers as an appliance, like a toaster. They want it to turn on and just work, ignorant of what is needed at a minimum to keep it running well. But even a toaster needs the crumb tray emptied once in a while. Unfortunately, it's only when a fan dies or a heatsink gets completely clogged that they notice it "acting funny", "locking up", "making funny noises", or they "think it has a virus". "Oh, and by the way, one of the fans used to make lots of noise, but I figured it must have fixed itself because I don't hear it anymore".

I've got stories.

Naw that is everything to the event. The roof and scoreboard don't come all the way down because of massive cables that crisscross through like a giant quilt. Surprisingly the fix is real easy. Get a couple new panels, needle and thread, and turn on the giant air compressor (not kidding) and that is it.

BTW Notice all the air blowing out on the close-up shot of the hole. I wonder how fast that air was blowing through, considering it requires 250,000 ft³/min (120 m³/s) of air to maintain inflation.

Good idea!! We can go in halfies and buy one....send it back and forth to each other for parties... you in?

My wardrobe is positively boring by comparison.


You could have this thing just lurking in the corner during a party. If it got too dull, just turn the air compressor on and out it pops. Surprise!

Thanks @the first post comments. I thought it was interesting.

It does seem like a pretty spacy, impractical idea, but it is an interesting concept. I think the bit about the compressed air used to power air compressors is sort of a silly concept as well, but I believe that's why it has a limited range. If they worked with 100% efficiency it might be able to stay aloft indefinitely, but all of the thermodynamicists would be right out of a job if that happened.

LOL of course. No really, Nuclear powered air compressors would be the logical choice.

Yeah, but how do you compress the air? With a gasoline powered air compressor?

lol, yeah, 9:30-ish thing was great.

Surprised he was blowing into the pool tank - you would think they would just use an air compressor...
