In summary, a rechargeable electric air horn, like the WoodsCan Hornet air horn, performs best in a broad range of temperatures (hot and cold) versus aerosol canister air horns. Here's why: In cold weather, gas air horns lose pressure so they sound weaker, don't last as long, can freeze up, and may not work at
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
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.
Yes, air horns can become dangerous in hot weather, depending on the type of horn and the conditions. Rechargeable air horns, such as the Hornet Sport, are much safer and more reliable than disposable aerosol canister air horns. Here’s what to know: Aerosol Canister Air Horns (most common handheld type): These contain a compressed gas
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
It depends. The Hornet battery powered rechargeable air horn is not affected by temperature as it uses an electric motor to drive a compressor, so cold temperatures will have little or no effect on it. Compressed gas, or aerosol air horns, will not gasify in cold temperatures, either not creating the required pressure to operate
Research has shown that a bear’s hearing is twice as sensitive as a human’s, therefore sounds that we perceive as loud, will be even louder and more startling to a bear. An air horn can be effective from distances in excess of 100 feet away from a bear. Unlike bear spray, an air horn can
Yes, the Hornet rechargeable electric air horn has no compressed gas so it can be transported safely on an airplane. Traditional disposable compressed gas air horns are prohibited in both carry-on and checked luggage on passenger airplanes. In addition, they cannot be shipped air freight as they are classified as hazardous goods.
