The spark plug inflater was fairly common. I bought one back in the seventies, Still have it. It has some sort of valve that allows air into the cylinder through the device and then out the hose. Not supposed to be any fuel in the tire. Hope not anyway. Mostly been replaced by the tiny 12V compressor gadgets. No combustibles in the tire that way.
As for the AC compressor. You'd have to remove it from the vehicle and hook a motor up to it with the output to a tank or hose.
