Today I would like to show you my results of testing and doing my best to kill these Airnoids.

The Airnoids are beautiful in their simplicity and operation. A complete system works like this. 100 to 150 lbs of co2 or plain old shop air from a 10oz bottle is feed through 1/4” tubing to the Actuator which is a baby electric solenoid. From the Actuator the co2 is feed to the Airnoids via 3/16” tubing.

General Info

The Actuator is used when the nitrous system needs to be activated via an electric throttle switch and/or timers. The actuator draws only 0.6 amps. You read that right. Your whole nitrous system can go from a possible 50 amp draw per stage to less than 1 lousy amp. While not totally electric free it is darn close.

Actuator

This photo shows a four stage system with the supply lines from the Actuators feeding through the firewall via quick release bulkhead fittings.

Each Actuator can supply operating air to 2 combo Airnoids AND 5 Actuators can be tied together and feed by a single line from the air supply bottle. This modular feature makes multi stage systems so much simpler and neater.

Soooo, (drum roll please), with one ¼” incoming co2 feed line you could conceivably run 5 stages with a total of 10 Combo Airnoids (= 20 electrics) and only use 3.0 amps total (vs 250 amps electric). This is likely an insane exercise but it is doable. If you use no timers there is a way to do this with no electricity whatsoever and I will get to that further on.
