Where to buy a small compressor, what is it called correctly?

Hey!
My brother came across this video from a popular channel: youtu.be/7qckwhd_lfw .
The compressor itself is on the timecode 00:11, the duration of the video is 02:40.
In the video experiment: air is pumped through a flask with cotton wool. Burning cigarettes are stuck into the flask and the cotton wool in the flask is saturated with combustion products from the cigarette.
I really wanted to repeat this experiment :) Money is not limited, but a search in Ya.Market gives only monstrous compressors: \ Probably we just don’t know how this device is called correctly and we’re looking for something else.
Several questions arose from this:

  1. Where to buy (where to look for) such a (small) compressor as in the video, what is it called correctly?
  2. What else might be needed? Like a power supply?
  3. What power is needed for a compressor, a pump, to pump a flask with 3-4 liters of cotton wool?
  4. Approach to the task in the video norms? Or can it be "improved"?

The rest we will collect without problems.
Thank you!

In the video, some kind of self-made compressor.
In fact, small compressors are either simple automobile or aquarium compressors.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
