Method #2: Transfer Air from a Balloon into Your Flat BallĪnother repurpose idea is to use air from a balloon. This probably won't work if the ball is completely flat, and it would be pretty expensive to keep using this trick, so make sure it's just a one-time thing. I'd suggest doing small bursts of air since the can will chill up rather quickly. ![]() The small straw that comes with the canned air will fit inside the ball's hole perfectly. Well, with a compressed air canister, you have the perfect solution. The most difficult part about inflating a ball without a pump or needle is finding something that will fit inside the small air hole. If you haven't already wasted your entire supply blasting your friends in the face with freezing cold compressed air, you could use this standard office item to fill up a deflated ball. Any air will do!ĭon't Miss: Make a DIY Bouncy Ball Method #1: Use Compressed Air to Pump Up Your Ball Exercise balls range in size, so it's impossible to give you a target psi for them.īut we don't need to be so precise at this time though. For future reference, however, the target psi is 7.5 to 8.5 for a basketball, 8.7 for a soccer ball, 4.26 to 4.61 for a volleyball, and 12.5 and 13.5 for a regular pigskin football. While balls all have an ideal pounds per square inch or psi (a term we all learned during " Deflategate"), at this time, all we care about is getting some air into our balls to increase the air pressure. From a pen to a balloon to a gas station, there are ways to inflate it. Better yet, you could be terribly clever and find another way to get air into the ball. What happens when you find your ball deflated and there's no pump or needle in sight? You could always cancel your plans of kicking around the soccer ball or starting that pickup football game in the park. ![]()
