Sure. Look at the sticker on your compresser where it states the SCFM at
90 PSI. If it's less than 1.9, then the run time is "not enough".
1 cubic foot is approximately 7.5 gallons. Looks like you'd get 30 seconds
if the pressure would stay up. Realistically, you'll probably have the
tank drained in about 10 seconds.

Yes, but save yourself the trouble.
You can't get there from here.
Your compressor just isn't big enough.

In reality, it's unlikely he'll be able to do more than (maybe) spin it
up by time fills the hoses first, etc., ...
