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 Hornet Sport rechargeable electric air horn only uses air, and it will reliably...
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
Here’s a scenario you may have encountered: you are hiking in the forest and 50 or 70 metres up the trail you see a bear. A bear’s eyesight is about the same as ours, so maybe it has or hasn’t seen you yet, but it’s coming your way. What do you do?
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
