2. Nitrogen generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_generator

   Aircraft tires use nitrogen fill to delay tire rupture on rejected take off events, allowing evacuation time before brake system heat causes an internal tire fire. Fusible plugs in the tire are the primary protection against heat induced pressure excursion. Internal tire fires can kindle at initial stop due to local hot sections of the wheels.

3. Canned tire inflator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_tire_inflator

   Canned tire inflators are single-use devices intended to provide a quick, temporary solution to drivers who experience flat tires.These devices seal the punctured tire and then reinflate it with pressurized gas, providing enough pressure to allow the auto to be driven for a short period at low speed.

4. Bicycle pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_pump

   Electrically-operated pumps intended to inflate car tires (as available in most service stations) can in principle be used to inflate a bicycle tire if the right type of connection is available. Some such pumps are designed to cut off before a suitable pressure (much higher for a bicycle than a car tire), and will much under inflate the tire.

5. Aircraft tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_tire

   The requirement that an inert gas, such as nitrogen, be used instead of air for inflation of tires on certain transport category airplanes was prompted by at least three cases in which the oxygen in air-filled tires had combined with volatile gases given off by a severely overheated tire and exploded upon reaching autoignition temperature. The ...

6. Tire changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_changer

   The air inflation gauge displays the air pressure within the tire when the air hose is connected to the valve stem. The air inflation gauge displays the pressure in pounds per square inch (psi). Directly below the air hose on the side of the tire changer is the inflation pedal that enables the inflation of the tire. [2]
