# Comprehensive Compressed Air Systems The Bimp Air Lets You Store Compressed Air For Your Bicycle By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-09-27 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compressed-air-system References: [newatlas](http://newatlas.com/bimp-air/45595/) & [bimpair](http://bimpair.com/en/) A French company by the name of Production Functional Factory is developing an extraordinarily innovative yet surprisingly simple compressed air system that generates its energy from the [spinning of bicycles' front wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mag-drive). Dubbed the Bimp Air, this particular compressed air system makes use of a front hum generator, a [small compressor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apo5c) and a canister of compressed air. This setup allows for the spinning of the wheels -- while riding -- to result in the canister being filled with up to 11 liters of compressed air. This compressed air is then ready and available to use if you run into a situation where your tire is running low on air. The Bimp Air system is a wonderfully innovative system that shows the convenience that can be enjoyed from smart engineering. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Compressed Air Systems:** The Bimp Air system demonstrates the potential for using compressed air as an alternative energy source in various applications. - **Energy Generation From Spinning Wheels:** The Bimp Air's use of the spinning wheels to generate energy highlights the opportunity for integrating energy generation systems into existing mechanical systems. - **Smart Engineering:** The Bimp Air showcases the benefits of smart engineering, emphasizing the need for innovative design solutions to improve convenience and efficiency. ### Where This Applies - **Cycling:** The Bimp Air presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the cycling industry by providing a portable and eco-friendly solution for maintaining tire air pressure. - **Alternative Energy:** The Bimp Air's compressed air system sparks disruptive innovation possibilities in alternative energy industries, offering a sustainable and unconventional energy source. - **Mechanical Engineering:** The Bimp Air's integration of energy generation into a mechanical system highlights disruptive innovation potential within the mechanical engineering industry, promoting efficient and self-sustaining solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Inflating Bicycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumpair-20.md) - [Compact Air Compressors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-air-compressor.md) - [Smart Inflation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x8-apex.md) - [Automated Pocket-Sized Air Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-air-pump.md) - [Airbag Cyclist Safety Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerobag-system.md) - [High-Performance Mini Air Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceflee.md) - [Ultra-Compact Tire Inflators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-pump.md) - [Airbag-Integrated Bicycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbag-bicycle-helmet.md) - [Palm-Sized Light-Up Motorbike Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lingmou.md)
