What would be the easiest way to have an air compressor shoot out a blast of air at someone who passes a motion sensor to activate it? Basically I'm looking to use my air compressor to shoot out air in a burst, like the fun house at an amusement park.
This is not a good idea, running a blast at passers by directly from a compressor, as you cannot direct air pressure directly at a person without regulation to below 2 Bar. But the easiest way for you to accomplish what you are looking for would be to use a proximity sensor, or even better a trip valve under the floor, then releasing a shot of air form a resevoir through a large flow valve and air nozzle.
