The handheld WoodsCan Hornet rechargeable electric air horn uses a small electric compressor which pumps air through a mechanical trumpet to achieve in excess of 121 decibels of sound. This is the same sound at the same volume as disposable compressed gas air horns, but for a much longer duration (20 times longer) per battery charge than a single disposable gas air horn.
Disposable compressed gas air horns have proven to be unreliable and are extremely bad for the environment. A single 5 oz. can will only last a minute or so at best, it may not work at all in cold weather, and its sound volume diminishes the longer you use it. It also uses an extremely potent greenhouse gas as a propellant versus the WoodsCan Hornet rechargeable electric air horn only uses air, and it will reliably...
Think of the Hornet air horn more as a "power tool" like a cordless drill than a bike light or mobile phone. The power requirements are high and it is very difficult for a USB-C charging system to achieve this. In addition, a USB-C charging port is not very rugged for this application, and could
The Hornet air horn has a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery that will retain up to 90% of its charge even after a year in storage at room temperature. With prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, it can lose as much as 30% of its charge but it will still operate normally. Simply recharge it to get it
Considerations When Choosing a Handheld Air Horn: Volume: The loudness of an air horn is typically measured in decibels (dB). Higher dB ratings indicate louder horns, which are often necessary for safety or signaling in noisy environments. Compressed gas air horns start off loud but lose sound volume as the can depletes, when they are
