Looking for a 12v high cfm air compressor

[VIAIR_Ryan]

Funny that you mention it. I was thinking about doing this in our spare time as well. We go to a lot of car shows where our compressors are used for air suspension and we give away T-shirt from time to time...So why not make a pneumatic T-shirt cannon?

Here's the one that I wanted to make.

If you decide to move forward with the project, please upload a video for us to see as we at VIAIR would love to see the final product.

We've been talking about creating a mobile pack using a small 12v motorcycle battery or two 6v batteries wired in series to reduce weight, strapped to a backpack with our 250C IG series so that we could carry it around with our t-shirt cannon. Though I have to be honest...i don't know if this idea will ever come to fruition.

I remember back when I joined 1102 they had made what they labelled as a "Bat-Pack."

It was as medium sized backpack that contained a air compressor and several storage tanks at the bottom of the bag was a zip pouch which they used as a battery compartment. They then used several pneumatic lines up to a arm mountable cannon (single fire) that when a joystick button that was attached to the cannon was pressed the MAC valve would open and fire the T-Shirt. The backpack was moderately heavy-ish, but that thing was really cool, and nice looking too.

I wouldn't recommend building one exactly like shown in the video. You cant get a good safe bond between the different plastics and you shouldn't use PVC for a pneumatic system.

The Q industries MV-50 is a pretty large compressor for not a whole lot of money. It's sold under a couple different brands including Master Flow MF-1050. I've been happy with mine.

Thanks for the tip Mr. V.
