Default Source of compresed air

I find the need for a small jet of compressed air to blow out chips etc from
time to time. I am thus looking for a source of compressed air to which some
sort of air gun can be attached. It has to satisfy three requirements:
1) It has to be cheap,
2) It has to take up little or no space,
3) It has to be cheap,

I heard some people simply use a spare car tire. I asked at Summit tools
(who carry all kinds of air stuff) if it is feasible to attach a hose and an
air gun to a tire, they did not think so. I really do not want/need a
full-sized compressor. A compresed air bottle seems a bit of an overkill.

Any suggestions?


The cheapest compressed air tank is made from a discarded He tank used
for balloons at fairs, etc. The tank (usually in a cardboard box) is
also sold at WalMart and comes pressurized at 300 psi so it's safe to
recharge to 90 psi at an air pump.
