- By far this has been one of the best effects that I ever had at my haunted house event. It's always a guaranteed scare. It's so versatile to add to lots of props. I have more videos coming soon where I utilize the air blaster in tons of different ways!

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
I just hope that you use your newfound powers for good....
It's about time you uploaded another video!
awesome build nice work ! HFL!!
Good video.
Could you link a list of all the fittings and other stuff (ball valve, quick connect, etc.) you used in the video? I’m trying to build one for myself but can’t figure out how to match everything with each other and I’m confused on which sizes i need. This would be a massive help, thanks!
about many air blasts can you get off a fully pressurized tank?
Hi just wanted to say my son and I love watching your videos … do you happen to have a parts list that we can use as a reference? We are still new to all this and it would really help.
It really depends on the size of the opening on the air tank. Everything that I used was 1/2" NPT. I'm sure a screenshot and helpful employee at a local hardware store would be enough to get all the right parts.
Thank you for the kind words about my videos! I put a lot of work into them.
Any chance you might be able to tell us where you got that solenoid valve? I would like to use the same one
i got the one that i used on Ebay. there is a moment where i show it close up, just copy the part number and search for it. please use an air blaster safely and responsibly.
Nicely done! How much pressure do you use for this?
For the demo in the video, 150psi. For practical use, whatever seems safe to use.
Possible to get a parts list? Would be super helpful.

I talk a bit more about parts here.
I’m confused on the wiring of the button. I’m not sure how you wired in the power adapter. Hard to tell what you’re doing with the wires.
Try searching "simple light switch wiring diagram."
Why not use an air compressor and a hose on the trigger?
How many air compressors do you intend to buy? If I want to have this particular effect in 5 or 6 spots in my haunted house, that would be a lot of noisy compressors that are spread out all over the place. Personally, the way that I'd do it is to buy a single high volume compressor and connect multiple effects to it. That way I only have to insulate one location for the noise. Also, if I had the 1 compressor and only drew air from that tank, then used a 100 foot air hose leading from that single air tank, the air coming out of the end of that really long hose won't have any power. The purpose of the yellow air tank is so that the effect has plenty of localized reserve air to draw from. Plus, if I bought a compressor with a 25 gallon tank, that is the max amount of compressed air storage that I would have to run multiple effects at any one time. This adds an additional 5 gallons of space to store the potential energy. Also, If I just used the 1 tank, each time an effect goes off, it decreases the pressure in the tank. If I'm running an entire haunt off of just the 1 tank, the air might be too depleted to make something else work properly.
Conversely, if I was running something like a hayride with a big property and everything was spread out, then yes, I would get more than one compressor and do things more like your suggestion.
I hope that I explained this well. I'm not the best at explaining concepts like this.
No regulator?
Good point. One could be added.
This is a fun build…. But don’t take this guy’s advice on the build process. Use pneumatic thread tape instead of red locktite
Thanks for the tip! I haven't had an issue with it yet though.
