I was thinking...
But not too clearly, as I'm not precisely entirely sober. Anyhow. I was staring at my air compressor for an pnuematic spiker. I was wondering, if you fully charged it, placed it in the passenger seat, attatched one end to a cap for the air snorkel, so that it would seal the air cleaner unit. Then had a valve on the hose to crank it wide open, with a filter to filter out moisture (believe it or not, they have them, for working in the winter), if the regulator was set so it would put out say, 35 PSI it would problably take a good 30 seconds to lose it's compression.
I'm assuming that wouldn't work out well, or some other person who needed to sleep it off would have thought of it already?

Well
The air would be coming out of the compressor at like, 35 psi and in to the air cleaner, with the snorkel blocked off so no air can escape there. It would keep my air cleaner presurized at around 35 psi for about thirty or so seconds, until the compressor ran out of air.
I would think, anyway. Though I now really doubt that it would have any decent effect at all, and a whole lot of negative effects.
It's amazing what a difference an hour makes.

No where near enough volume to do what you want to do. The reason it takes 30 seconds to bleed down is because your running all the air through a 1/4" line. Put a 2" valve on there and it'll bleed down in a fraction of a second. You might get a couple fr^2 of air in a tank, but your engine swallows almost 7 ft^2 per second.
