I have one of those tornado fans I can dig out and send to one of you guys... I don't know how quick it'd drain a battery, because it's pretty
powerful.
Anyone wanna try it?

The wife got me the Ryobi 18v Lithium multi tool package for X-mas. The fan sells for $30. Filled the 15m Charger in 15-20 seconds and can run for
hours on one battery.

Just acquired my very own arc inflator. I have a small yard now and can't use my gas leaf blower enough to justify mixing up gas for it so it sounded
like a great justification to get a battery powered blower for yard cleanup/arc inflation. It is made by Ryobi and uses 18v batteries I already have
for my cordless drill and flashlight. Got mine for $50 including shipping. I have been on a mission to get one when I saw Todd's 18m phanny inflate
with a similar tool in like 30 seconds. Here is what I got.

Bob,
now that I am a member of the D-arc side I have been thinking about a pre0inflator. I have lots of PC fans laying around so I can do that. BUT I
also have a full Ryobi +1 set..
How physically large is that leaf blower unit, it looks fairly small, but hate to take up a kite spot in my bag just to fit it! :-p:bouncy:

Well, you won't need the tube at all since the spout can go directly into your fill zipper. It fills so fast, you just hold it for the 20-30 seconds
and done. I don't think it's much bigger than a toaster for example. It would fit inside an empty kite bag, even a smaller one for a fixed bridle
kite. I watched ebay for awhile to get the $50 one. Combo price is usually $65 or so. You can get one at hodeypo WITH the LIthium battery for $100
but I didn't need a 4th battery so saved the $.
I have the luxury of doing setup only feet from my car now so if I can haul it to Ivanpah in the car, it's right beside me when I need it.

Black and Deck 14v. Quick, easy, cheap.
One battery will fill 4 19m Arcs quickly then the charge slows down but you can limp a lot of inflation out of a battery.
