A conundrum...

[seawasp]

... how can I inflate an air mattress when I have no air pump?

In the Old Days, you'd just take your vacuum cleaner and stick the hose in the rear vent, and you'd HAVE a blower of considerable force. Now we have this lovely Dyson vacuum and it appears that it only sucks and can't blow.

A hair dryer, no heat.

Take a deep breath...

(or visit your local sporting goods store for an air pump)

The last time I checked, 'D' battery powered Name Brand mattress pumps were less than $10 at my local department store.

Venturi effect?

(Not going to reach the pressures desired, but fun to contemplate.)

I can't believe you asked that....

I think you can buy a can of compressed air for next to nothing. or, walmarks should have a little tire inflater. Why don't they make a nice hand cranked compressor??

It only took me about ten minutes to blow ours the old-fashioned way.

Odd, I'm now pondering how a Dyson device that only sucks when it used to suck and blow both, lines up with a Dyson Sphere.

If it can't blow, you can't use it to inflate your Dyson sphere.

That sucks.

Sometimes Vacuum cleaners have them. (No Spaceballs pun intended)

Um, yeah, I said that in my post. Our current vacuum, the Dyson, doesn't.
