Nice.

Here is a link to a working one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fKzL_-1dLk
I don’t think it is inflating the tire. I think the internal “explosion” (I am assuming a can starting fluid), is simply causing the tire to expand and force a seat onto the rim. Sure, some gases may stay in the tire, but drop the hi-jack and I bet it goes flat.
Short; Nice for seating the tire on the trail which can be a PITA, but still needs to be aired up.

I think you are right. I’ll have to update the post to get the functioning video in there – it was still working last time I’d checked, but obviously my available time for the site is horridly limited any more.
