How To Make Aircrete With A Tire For A Compressor

I used an old trailer tire as an air compressor to power my DIY #aircrete foam generator. Really a pressure vessel, but it had enough pressure to generate a nice rich foam, which was blended into my cement slurry mixture to create aircrete. I poured the aircrete into form to make the prototype for a tabletop firepit.

This aircrete tire compressor is such a brilliant idea

[@GreenShortzDIY]

Thanks, Amen. I was excited to see it work well. Thank you for watching.

Aircrete! I think that's how I found your channel. Nice to see how well that worked with the tire. I would not want to pump up that tire with the bike pump though!

[@GreenShortzDIY]

Ha. I agree. This was just a fun option to play with. :-) Nice to see you. Thank you for watching.

[@emaglott]

I did have a thought about filling the tire from a small 12V compressor like you might carry in your vehicle. You could power it from the solar rig on the trailer and be green!

You can bathe in that foam from the tire compressor. The foam is designed to moisturize your skin and create relaxation to decrease stress.

If you put Teflon tape on the threads where you fill "franken foam" it will be easier to unscrew the cap.

The cheapest air compressors are those that are used in nail art. You can find them for around 20 bucks. The pressure is just 25 psi, but seeing the good results from just the tire pressure, that could be worth a try.

In today's video I tried my tire inflator. It worked great. Thank you for watching.

[@charlesbucholz8079]

Have you tried using a punching balloon as an air source?

[@ianhames2465]

PVA glue in the cement mix perhaps

[@GreenShortzDIY]

Thanks for the suggestion. Thank you for watching.

[@williamharvey7006]

What psi do you run thru the generator from an air compressor?

[@GreenShortzDIY]

I think it’s usually around 40psi.

[@timnunya9810]

how about the outlet of a shop vac hooked to franken foam?

[@GreenShortzDIY]

Tim, that is an interesting idea. I will have to try that! Thank you for the suggestion. Thanks for watching.

[@rehoboth_farm]

How would you air up the tire to begin with?

[@rehoboth_farm]

Bicycle pump. Sorry.

[@GreenShortzDIY]

Or another option would be to take it to a gas station to pump. It’s not ideal, but rather a creative way to avoid buying an air compressor. :-) Thank you for watching.

[@rehoboth_farm]

@@GreenShortzDIY I'd probably just use my compressor.

[@ianhames2465]

Sugar water and dish soap will hold the bubbles, it's what kids bkow bubbles are made of.

[@GreenShortzDIY]

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't heard of using sugar in the water. Interesting. Thanks for watching.

[@priestesslucy]

Have you tried it and seen how the bugs treat the aircrete with sugar in it?
