Homebrew - throw some small dry ice pellets in a media blaster. It won't work as well as either sand or a real ice blaster but it will work somewhat.

There are consumer versions on Alibaba for about $1,000. Professional machines start at about $20K - which pays for itself quickly in a production environment.

To run a dry ice blaster it takes a lot of compressed air.
Back in the day I would combine my 5hp gasoline air compressor with a 2hp electric and would keep up pretty well.
A single electric air compressor would keep up with a sand or dry ice blaster would cost at least $2,500 and that was 2014 pricing, last time I looked at air compressors.
All my air compressors were cobbled together from junk I had laying around and junk I found at the scrap yard.

My dream would be the Dunn-right air compressor

Except I'd want it in a Harley Tricycle chassis.

A VW engine is something like 1,600cc so it would be an 800cc engine with a big compressor.

Typically. 1100 to 2400cc is the range.

This one is a BMW frame grafted onto the rear torsion bar.



Just needs a big air tank and a toolbox.
