    As every electric motor is also a generator, yes. Just put something between the blades before you blow it out.

    Those cans suck ass, at least for my experience. As the content cools of through expansion, you have about 20secs of charge before you have to wait for the can to get warm again :-/ but results may vary

      I’m a big… proponent… of handheld rechargeable air blowers after getting one from Wolfbox.

      I always felt like I was risking frostbite with the cans.

          I got a plugin one instead of battery-powered. If I’m dusting a computer I’m going to be near a power outlet anyway so it seemed pointless to make it wireless. It’s was both cheap and quite powerful, I use it for blasting dust out from under furniture and other such handy tasks as well.

            I have a similar plug in blower that works great. Can’t believe I never thought of using it to clean under furniture, thanks!

      The cans work fine but you’re only supposed to use it in short bursts not holding down the nozzle and going to town. I typically but a multipack and alternate between two if I need to use them for an extended period. Also keep in mind that the straw really limits the blowing force so use it only when you need to.
