A portable that is powered by compressed air, not electricity. Well, the air compressor that hooks up to it is on electricity, but the vacuum motor itself is powered by compressed air.

Has anyone ever used one of these? It might be an interesting concept to add to the portables to possibly save power to add more water pressure or heat without using too many electric cords.

You gonna haul around a huge 5-20hp compressor to get less performance than a portable? They consume 20+cfm...
