The Airgun is a battery-powered mini air compressor, that's very similar in form to a cordless power drill.
It has a 5-inch (127-mm) flexible hose on the end, which threads onto the Shrader-style air valve of things like bicycle tires. An integrated LED helps users see what they're doing when attaching that hose. There are also some adapters included, for use on recreational equipment such as balls and toys.To use it, you first use its push-buttons to enter the desired air pressure, which will appear on its LCD display in your choice of psi, kpi or bar. You then hook up its hose, hold down its trigger, and start filling – it will automatically stop when it reaches the right pressure.
It can reportedly fill an "average city bike tire" to 58 psi (4 bar) in one minute, or bring a 10-liter tire up to 36 psi (2.5 bar) in three. If its lithium-ion battery gives out, it can also be powered via an included 12-volt car cigarette lighter adapter.
And on the topic of cars ... although Hammacher Schlemmer is now promoting the Airgun for use on automobile tires, Airman itself lists it as not being rated for anything heftier than ATV or quad tires. So, make of that what you will.
Pricing for the Airgun starts around US$70, depending on the retailer.

Swiss camper suitcase brings a campsite around the world
The packed FreeTech measures 100 x 50 x 11 cm (39 x 20 x 4 in) and weighs 29 kg (64 lb). The handle and wheels make it easy to transport, and SwissRoomBox says that it can be checked as baggage on most airlines (though at that weight it might cost extra).
The FreeTech has a handle and wheels for easy transport
The FreeTech is essentially the bones of the camper without the meat. SwissRoomBox has stripped things like the sink, shower and mattress in favor of a slim package of bedding platform, dining table and food prep table. The user is left to finish it off with air mattresses, camping stove, etc.
The FreeTech sets up in just five minutes, without any tools or modifications to the vehicle. A new 3D adjustment system allows it to adjust to various sizes of vehicles. The car version adjusts in width from 100 to 140 cm (39 to 55 in), in length from 175 to 200 cm (69 to 79 in), and in height from 25 to 45 cm (10 to 18 in). The van model offers similar adjustability, and SwissRoomBox reckons the FreeTech fits more than 50 percent of cars on the global market. The bed and tables can be leveled out even when the car is parked on a slope, providing flat, comfortable sleep, food preparation and dining.
With each simpler model, SwissRoomBox drops the price accordingly. The FreeTech retails between €1,645 and 2,220 (US$2,230 and 3,000), about a quarter the price of the original. While considerably less expensive than past models, the FreeTech is also much simpler, eliminating a lot of the equipment that you need to really camp.
For that kind of money, we'd be inclined to invest a couple hundred dollars (or less) on air mattresses, cooking equipment and folding tables, then just fold the seats down and sleep in the car at night. The idea of being able to transport this around the world and use it to convert rental cars into mini-RVs for road touring is kind of cool, though.
