If you are tired of relying on weak canned air or dragging out a heavy shop vac just to clean your workshop or car, Magpie Tech has engineered a powerful, pocket-sized solution. Launching on Kickstarter, the AirCannon GPX is a 2-in-1 monster blower and vacuum. By packing a high-speed brushless motor and jet engine style blades into a 0.77 lb frame, it delivers 118 mph of hurricane-force wind to handle your toughest cleaning jobs.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Name and Creator AirCannon GPX: UNLEASH 118MPH POWER. THE MONSTER BLOWER by Magpie Tech.

What It Is The AirCannon GPX is an ultra-compact, cordless electric duster that functions as both a high-velocity blower and a vacuum. It is designed to replace disposable compressed air cans and bulky vacuums for tasks ranging from detailing cars and cleaning PC components to blowing leaves off your porch.

KEY FEATURES

118 MPH Wind Speed Powered by a custom 16.8V brushless motor and aerodynamic jet engine blades, the GPX produces air speeds up to 118 mph (190 km/h), making it significantly more powerful than standard handheld dusters.
Dual Blow and Vacuum Modes A simple sliding switch on the side lets you seamlessly transition from blowing debris away to vacuuming it up. The vacuum mode utilizes a dense, thick HEPA filter capable of trapping particles as small as 0.3 microns.
Turbo Mode For sustained clearing tasks, the device features a Turbo button on the built-in display. Pressing it locks the airflow on, so you do not have to hold down the trigger continuously.
Compact and Heat-Resistant Weighing just 0.77 lbs (350 grams), it is incredibly easy to maneuver in tight spaces. The body is constructed with a heat-resistant design to remain safe and comfortable during extended use.
Multiple Battery Options The proprietary 16.8V battery system comes in two capacities. The lighter 30A (2,500 mAh) battery provides up to 1 hour of runtime, while the larger 60A (5,000 mAh) option runs for up to 2 hours. Both recharge via a standard USB-C cable with 35W fast charging support.
Versatile Nozzles The kit includes three specialized nozzles and vacuum attachments, ensuring you have the right tool whether you are inflating an air mattress or extracting dust from a mechanical keyboard.

REWARDS

Kickstarter Pricing The campaign launched on September 7, 2026, and was fully funded within two minutes. Early backers can secure a Standard Single kit (with one 30A battery) for $129, which is 42 percent off the planned retail price of $224.
Options Pledges range from single battery setups to double battery bundles (including 60A options for longer jobs). Add-ons include extra HEPA filters, a custom storage shell case, and an intake motor guard (which will be included free if the campaign hits its $200,000 stretch goal).
Delivery The campaign runs through November 6, 2026. Magpie Tech and their manufacturing partner Kikaito will coordinate fulfillment, keeping backers updated on the final shipping timelines.

CONCEPT

The core concept is Gale-Force Power in the Palm of Your Hand. The creators believe that industrial cleaning power shouldn't require industrial-sized equipment or constant reliance on wasteful disposable air cans. By engineering a device that maximizes motor efficiency and airflow dynamics within an ultra-compact footprint, they aim to give users a single, uncompromising tool for the garage, the home, and the outdoors.

INSPIRATION

The project is a collaborative evolution. Building on the success of the original AirCannon developed by Kikaito, Magpie Tech partnered with them to push the boundaries of what a handheld blower could achieve. They set out to solve the common pain points of existing portable dusters, mainly weak airflow, short battery life, and overheating. The "GPX" stands for "Gale-force Power, times X," reflecting their mission to exponentially increase performance while keeping the device small enough to fit in a glovebox.
