HOW TO Hack An Empty Aerosol Can To Make A Free DIY Refillable Compressed Air Duster
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лис 2017
- Air is free! So why would you spend money buying it in an aerosol, while you can simply make your own DIY refillable compressed air duster!
► YOU WILL NEED
- Empty aerosol can
- A bicycle tire valve (I'm using a valve type "Woods/Dunlop")
- Drill
- Filler metal
- Flux
- Source of heat (I'm using here a Chef torch)
- Hot water for final quenching/cleaning
► DISCLAIMER
Always make sure you operate in a safe and secure manner.
For this project this means, make sure to pressurize the container to a level that is safe and compatible with the max supported strength of the metal joint and of the used container. Failure to do not so may results in serious injuries.

That looks like a easy to do fix for out of air issues, I’ll have give it a try and see. Thanks for sharing
Room air is not dry. The moist air is not a great idea for cleaning electronics, but for blowing general
dust and debris, this definitely is a keeper
v roce 1966 , bylo mi 8 let, jsem si tímto způsobem nabarvil rám na kolo! Krásné vzpomínky na vesnici Mokropsy!
Excelente! muy fácil y práctico.
If that pops out you're going to be missing an eye....
😂😅we be by been
A good point, well worth remembering to point that away from you while you use it, same as with any tool THINK SAFETY. A good point, well raised.
Thank you , great idea. This is so beautifully creative, a pleasure to watch. I am inspired.
MAN YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED did you have an anxiety attack
Balls deep,toss his salad while ur at.
Just use an air nozzle with a rubber tip.
It will both fit over a stem if the spray nozzle is removed and just hold it against the hole if he nozzle and stem are connected.
Much easier to remover diffuser at the top. Place automotive valve stem over pin and add compressor air. Control pressure with line valve on compressor. Safety issue addressed.
I use my rubber tipped air nozzle and add 120 psi, been doing it for years
How do you refill the liquid?
That soldering was really good
I would tie a short string from the valve to the can body in case it pops out due to too much pressure.
You do know you can refill the can from its original nozzle just remove the spray head and use your compressor to fill it up with air
🎉😂
Make a video on how it's done please
thank u very sir . is it aluminium filler wire ?/
The drill shards enter the can and then get stuck in the spray head? Might be wise to punch a hole with a super sharp nail if it doesn't deform the surface any for soldering.
E se eu colocar tinta esmalte sintético dentro, será q funciona?
this is a great idea. I am sure someone can think of other uses for this method. thx
Luvin that intro, good video!
Thanks for the feedback, appreciated
@@TheLabOtomy ,tbh the intro sucks , gave me a wannabe scientist chanell vibe but the content is crab .
Cool, but how much psi, I'd make one with a pressure valve so i know how much air is one can. Nice vid tho. 👍🏽
aprendi mais uma vez como fazer uma ferramenta vendo seu video
gostaria de saber qual acido esta usando para soldar
att
Why my valve stem didnt stick on the soldering wire that use? The valve stem that I use is color gold i think something like copper
how many pressure in? and how I can learn how pressure can we load in that spray? ????
Yep, pretty well covered BUT.. a note to: A' confirm the can is empty before drilling.. B. purge explosive gasses from can prior to soldering. C. fill cup around nozzle with water to avoid over heating the plastic valve during soldering. and all is good. PS, most spray cans have a design limit of 100psi, so use caution when filling, a rupture would make for a very bad day at ICU.
Good points, thanks for the complementary info
@Scio qui sum -Je sais qui je suis I have a cheap Pneumatic air hand pump that goes up to 1,500 psi. Don't listen to scio's info. Anything dealing with compressed anything has a danger.
especially when, for example: grinding open an old LPG-tank..., you'll be gled you filled it and rinced it with water, and with a real big tank: keep the walls humid, even steel is porous...
Remember, looking time ago, I was 10, heard of a Mechanic/ Blacksmith got killed, and the whole building, about 12x12, was leveled. He try to weld a empty 50gl drum, that was used to store gasoline, even thought he filled with water, but not to the top. Sad tragedy!
Long, long ago I had thought of doing the exact same project, but I decided not to, when I considered the following:
1. The propellant in a normal spray can is NOT compressed air. Used to be cfc or some other gas which becomes liquid when compressed. During manufacture, the can is filled with the liquid propellant, the liquid to be sprayed, some air space, then the whole thing is sealed up. Some of the liquid propellant becomes gas and builds up pressure. Eventually enough pressure is reached to stop further evaporation. The problem is, what is that pressure, and what is the pressure the can will take before exploding? It may not be as high as you think. So I decided it was too risky to try making.
2. To pump air in to a safe pressure (how much is that?) is good advice. However, unlike the propellant which constantly evaporates to maintain the pressure in the can as you spray, in this diy can with pressurised air, you will very rapidly reach the point where the remaining pressure is not sufficient to be of much use.
That is why I decided way back then that it was not advisable to try it. Probably safer to use a Tubed tyre, with a high pressure hose leading from the valve to an air spray gun.
Without some sort of activation energy in the presence of a combustible fuel, an explosion from atmospheric air is not possible. This project is missing 2 parts of the fire triangle. So fire is not a concern here. Even when he was soldering. Unless the can wasn’t rinsed. Even then, with that drilled hole, no way enough pressure could build up (during solder).
@@johnsanchez8029 didn't mean explosion in the sense of the Fire Triangle. Was thinking of explosion due to too high pressure being pumped in. How high is too high? No one knows as commercial spray cans were never meant to be used for this purpose, so it is very unlikely that the manufacturer would specify what is the max pressure the can is able to withstand.
please let me know how good pressure and long lasting will it be ....is it compatible with original fill ..comes with chemicals ?
Espetacular ideia, gostei muito. Parabéns. Vou fazer hoje mesmo.
E morreu.
Good.work
This will only hold a very small amount of compressed air, because air cannot be liquified. So you would have to refill it after a few seconds of use.
Thats why commercial compressed air cans are filled with lighter gas (butane gas).
True
No, they are filed simply with CO2
Air can be liquified.... but not a a pressure that could be contained in anything like that can.
Air CAN be liquified -two Polish scientists - Olszewski and Wróblewski did it in 1883 at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow.
Commercial air cans filled with flammable stuff like butane ? definitely not for sure
Good idea! Depending on the contents of the can the flame could cause an explosion, that would be exciting.
A big soldering iron might be safer, you would then have something left in the can to spray!
from Honduras love this music
I'm sure the flammable vapors ran away when he drilled a hole in the can😎
@@rob_erto Fill at least 80% with water to avoid the problem of explosive gases that may be present
Pensei em fazer spray de pimenta com isso. Antes de colocar essa válvula, colocar um molho, e depois com o ar comprimido.... Deve dar certo né?
Thank you!
This really works and is practical, but don't expect it to last anywhere as long a new compressed "air" can on one inflation. The "air" in new cans is actually any cheap gas that can be compressed until it's liquid in room temperature (usually butane, propane, relatively non-toxic refrigerants are said to be used as well), and air unfortunately can't be, so there is much less of it than weight.
If you can only find bike tubes with plastic valves that have metal thread, they can probably also be used, as they are actually brass inside, just scrape off the plastic.
Solder holds better if the can and the outside of the valve are brushed with a metal brush.
A can inflated to 6 bar is enough to dust a keyboard thoroughly once, and in some other video a guy (ua-cam.com/video/rR-S7-fAVTg/v-deo.html) inflated a spray paint can to about 15 bars, and the top dome moved out a bit around the rim, but it remained intact until it was inflated to 25 bar, and the bottom lid came off, sending the rest of the can in opposite direction at high speed. But for this you need a good big shop compressor, not the cheapest car tire compressor that also happens to be ten years old.
We have been using empty cans prepared exactly like this in RC planes to operate the landing gear for decades. I fill mine usually up to 5-6 bar. Thus far I never heard of any exploding. On the other hand, RC modelers usually know what they are doing when it comes to soldering and other technical stuff.
Thanks Mika for the extra info, did not know of this usage in RC planes so am a little wiser now!
Yes until the 90's when Ii used mechanical servos on my ez suprastar, previously I used Rom Air retracts and never had any problems whatsoever!! :)
great video dude what did you use to stick the nozzle with
Thank u ... How to fill something inside..?
Bravo majstore
Hvala
Can you reply here with the amazon link to the metal filler and flux you are using . Thank you
It's just solder and solder flux. It honestly doesn't matter much. The only thing that matters is that you completely seal the hole with solder
@@LeviBulger I see that now. I was new to soldering when left that comment and didn't know what was going on apparently
@@cirwo85 oh lol, sorry. I thought this video was new honestly. It just showed up in my feed and I didn't even pay attention to the timestamps. Anyway, cheers mate!
@@LeviBulger nothing to apologize for. Thanks for the tip anyhow. Someone else could use it
Hi brother your video is very very helpful and easy to understand . Soldering liquid and soldring led where did u buy it? Sir
I glued a funnel on the back of a mini vacuumcleaner and the blowingpower is eeeeh... mindblowing.
Supereffective, cheap and easy to make.....
Soldering job is flawless and result is beautiful joint.
Thanks, not talent, just practice
You are specifying the joint - what is the max safe pressure?
65 psi is a good preasure for this bottle mod. The limit is over 120 psi. But you must try with security method... Can be dangerous.
How amazing is that !?!? Well done man 👍
Is there any adapter to pump air into the top instead of making a hole? Or could one be made?
Excelente! Qual solda vc usou?
Też jestem ciekawy :)
Drilling while holding the can, did something similar before and almost punched a hole through my hand.
Same here, pulled muscle tissue out of my hand too
Despite all the safety concerns. it is a pretty cool video. Thanks.
Very useful tips and effort in making the demo! What is the solder used? Regular circuit board solder?
No to bond metal on metal you use flux and 60/40 solder. 60% tin, and 40% lead. Electronics solder uses a flux core solder. This is a different type of solder and does not create the proper bonding of metal on metal, It is used to bond a copper, brass, or gold surface to a tined PC board surface.
what material did you used to weld the joints?
Solder
What materials do I use in welding?
a welder
@@IGOPU lol
Filler metal is something that usually used in welding process right?
Super Video.Danke!
Can the overpressurized air cause a hurricane?
It has also been known to start a revolution in El Salvador, so most definitely!
If you oh so desperate for an expensive can of air. You can use propane can for dusting. Same stuff they use. If safety is your concern and being a cheapskate too. A tire inflated to 40-50 psi with an appropriate attachment would do nice too. I airbrush toys using car tire as an air source. A nice learning experience.
Könnte man auch einen zweiten Stutzen anbringen durch den man z.B. Lack einfüllen kann und das dann sprühen?
cool idea man , thanks !
Adding the valve to an empty air duster can would be more effective I would imagine.
Great video, but you need to tell us what that stuff in the blue can is. And more about the soldering.
Flux and I assume silver solder
Hi , what is the substance u put before soldering the valve ?
And what is the max pressure we can fill it with ?
Kassem Salloum it’s called flux but I don’t think this solder setup will hold for too long. You’re better off probably ...using a tire valve meant for car wheels ... it has a rubber style grommet that grabs the inside of the can ... just my opinion though
Muito legal! Parabéns pela engenhosidade.
Ok, I understand how to make a compressed air duster, but you still didn't teach me how to hack an empty aerosol can.
Busy sharpening the axe...
The LabOtomy I meant to hack it like a computer. It was a joke.
Hoooo

BIEN EXPLICADO MASTER, EXCELENTE APORTE, GRACIAS...
E pra colocar a tinta dentro como faz🤔
Tira a válvula e coloca pelo bico
Isn't this dangerous will the can explode under too much pressure?
See Description above or Pinned comment
If that was the case, the valve would pop out
Might make one that I can fill back up with paint,, Cheap sprayer,, Cheers, Pete
Could you do the same thing but with liquids like say a compressed deodorant spray?
Impressive
I thought you was going to epoxy it. I was like wtf. Looked again and seen solder.

Hi , can't you put some liquid colors in the Can also so use it like a spray ? try it if you want 👍👌
hi i try this but my tin not stick to it even when used flux have any adivce please
Calentar un en base de aerosol que haya tenido un contenido volátil es muy peligroso, podría explotar
Correcto
Con todo respeto pero creo que es una boludes hacer ese soplador si quieres soplar con el culo lo haces mejor 🤣🤣
what did you use for solder ?
Best is to use brazing rods, understand their properties and never over-pressurize the container
thanks
matteo scanziani thats a good question. It looks like......solder.
solder solder
Quantas libras de pressão podem ser inseridas?
You can also do a painting can with this . If you drill a second hole and add a filling cap, with a seal, with the same method . Rinse the can, dry it . Now, you have to fill a half of the can with liquid paint , close the cap and introduce air through the valve, using a compressor , until you reach 6 or 7 bar pressure . And just painting .
just add the paint through the valve, re-assemble and pressurize
Yes , you're right, but it seems to me that can be difficult to add paint through the little hole of the valve, you don't think ?? And over time, the paint could partially clog the valve ?
@@steevo9656 Don't apply fire or heat to a can filled with paint.

I've already done this. A simple lesson ...
Can I fill it using bicycle pump
And how many pumps can I do with it
5.4 million views well earned. Thanks for sharing!
What type of welder did you use?
I was waiting for the can to explode. If it had paint or another flammable in it
Add a second sealable port and you can fill/refill the can with ... whatever.
Spray on lube....
a man of many parts ahh so your here for the same thing as me
The Superjezz also a pretty good idea
Im guessing you could take out the valve with a common tire valve screwdriver, then use a tube or nipple on different squeeze bottle?
What materials did you weld with?
Thanks for your video. from vietnam

I'm surprised that it worked so well,my dad had a similar idea and when trying to solder a fitting to the can the plastic spray nozzle melted,his idea was for making a cheap refillable paint can though.
Probably should have mounted the valve on the bottom or side that way you can keep the plastic parts and nearby metal immersed in water to protect them.
though you need to pressurize the paint and it cant be too viscous and if it dries within the nozzle its over
What is in the blue bottle with red lid? And what kind of valve stem? Does not look like peseta or Schrader.
I am gonna try this

Drills it.
Because rules are made to be broken.
What will happen? I want to do this but comments are concerning.
empty means 'empty'
Shut a fuck up
@@saintanthonygoodchild1288 The can could explode if there's enough pressure
