Umqondo weukhilimu amathiniihlehlela emuva ekhulwini le-18, lapho ukhilimu wawubhaxabulwa ngesandla kusetshenziswa iwhisk noma imfoloko uze ufinyelele ukuvumelana okufunayo, inqubo eyayidla isikhathi futhi ifuna ngokomzimba. I-prototype yesilinda esizenzakalelayo sokwehla kwamandla emali empeleni yavela emshinini wase-France ngekhulu le-18.
Ngekhulu lama-20, i-nitrogen (ikakhulukazi igesi ehlekayo i-N2O) yaba igesi ekhilimu enegwebu efanelekile ngenxa yokuncibilika kwayo emafutheni. Iyanda lapho ikhishwa kukhilimu, idala ukuthungwa okulula nokuthambile. Maphakathi nekhulu lama-20, imisebenzi yokwelula nokushaywa kwe-nitrogen kukhilimu yaqala ukudayiswa, futhi ngokushesha yaduma embonini yezokudla, ikakhulukazi kumathilomu nezindawo zokudlela, futhi ukusebenziseka kwayo kwaqala ukuqashelwa kabanzi.
Njengoba isidingo sikhula, ukukhiqizwa kwamasilinda kakhilimu okushaya ngesiswebhu kwaba ngokujwayelekile, futhi usayizi ojwayelekile weshaja yokusetshenziswa okukodwa wabekwa ku-8 amagremu we-N2O, okwanele ukushaya ipeyinti likakhilimu onamafutha aphezulu. Emashumini eminyaka adlule, idizayini yama-inflators nama-dispensers iqhubekile nokuvela, iba lula kubasebenzisi, isebenza kahle futhi ijabulisa ngobuhle. I-Material-wise, insimbi engagqwali isidumile ngenxa yokuqina kwayo, ukuhlanzeka, nokubukeka kwayo okubushelelezi.
Ama-cartridges anamuhla anokhilimu anobungani bemvelo, amanye amabhrendi ahlola ama-cartridge angasebenziseka kabusha noma angagaywa kabusha ukuze anciphise umthelela wemvelo. Ngaso leso sikhathi, ngokukhula kwe-e-commerce, ukuthenga ama-cartridges ane-inflatable kanye nama-dispensers ku-inthanethi sekuvame kakhulu. Ukuphendula izehlakalo zokuhlukunyezwa nezingozi ngazinye, imithetho yezokuphepha iye yaqina kakhulu, okwenza abakhiqizi bathuthukise imiklamo ukuze baqinisekise ukusetshenziswa okuphephile futhi banikeze isiqondiso sokusebenzisa esicacile.
Nakuba i-N2O isetshenziswa kakhulu ekuphekeni, ukusetshenziswa kwayo ngezinjongo zokuzijabulisa kubeka engcupheni yezempilo, futhi impikiswano ephathelene nokuhlukunyezwa kwayo yandile. Ngakho-ke, ohulumeni ezifundeni eziningi baye balawula ukuthengiswa kwe-nitroglycerin cartridges. Nakuba igesi ehlekayo isiyinsakavukela umchilo wesidwaba emhlabeni wokudla, idinga ukuqwashisa okwanele ngezingozi zayo ezingase zibe khona kanye nokusetshenziswa okufanele.
