they make excellent fire buckets when you cut the top out and add a few xtra breather holes, great for travelling. every nite on the road with a contained camp fire.

Used on once as a blast protector for a camera.

Where you would get a tank filled to 5000 psi is another question.

Does anyone have more info on this setup? I'd be interested in one myself.

Not too light either... have a couple of tanks sitting in the garage for Scuba, pretty heavy.

Old fire extinguishers make good air tanks also.

i wonder, what would two cheap electric pumps and tank would be like, guessing still not that powerful.

1 Bar is only a smodge over 14psi... Is that really enough?

Maybe 10 bar :wink:
