Carbonation Bulbs?

I've been a given a decent quantity of these carbonation bulbs and would like to be able to use them for kegs when going to partys etc.  I've looked around but have not come across a keg charger that I know will allow me to use these.

If theres anybody out there that can point me in the right direction it'd be much appreciated.  Theres even a few boxes of them going if they'd be of any use to you?

Thanks

How ya Fishjam,

They look like the same sized bulbs I have used in the past for 5 litre kegs. Got given them as a present and should still have them in my garage somewhere. If you could get hold of a calipers and measure the diameter of the buld and also measure the length I can do likewise and we can compare whether the match. I still have the dispensing gear for this somewhere and can dig that out and give you the details. Will post here in the next while once I have found the various bits and pieces.

It's called a beer king and it's used with 5 litre kegs. The CO2 cartridge are 16g & are just 9cm long and diameter about 2cm. The spear in the thing is plastic & can be fiddly to get on and off. If you want your welcome to borrow it and give it a try to see if it will work with the bulbs.

Thanks for the replies lads.

The bulbs contain 8 grams of Co2.

Hopefully theres a charger something similar to what DEMPSEY shared out there that will suit these cartridges?
