It may look strange but try inflation by a car tire with one of those bycycle pumps and that looks just the nuts. It literally takes forever


As an aside I just left Cabin Fever and some of the mechanisms modeled there, many patented, just blows ones mind. I’ve gone every year for at least five years now and always see something new. Today it was a way to automate an old fashion well pump. In this case a 1917 patent pump, that is just a slightly more refined Rube Goodberg machine.

It can be pretty amazing to see some of these inventions.
