Default Bleed brake fluid using an air compressor?

Anyone ever tried this method of bleeding/flushing brake fluid using an air compressor?

I've seen a coupla different DIY's like this. One even had instructions to build a air powered power bleeder out of a garden sprayer lol. Just be careful about how much air pressure you run through it, you don't want to start blowing up master cylinders and caliper piston seals.

Speaking English is easy too, but not everyone can do it, lol.
