I've been tempted to get one of those handlebar-mounted car horns for use when cars cut me off or nearly run me over.
I have a bell on my bike but I actually don't use it that much. I don't often encounter situations where I need to pass a person that is occupying the width of a trail and if I do then usually a "Passing on your left/right!" will suffice.

That’s a monstrosity that I can get behind. I just need some to engineer it to be more compact
Could try a high volume air pump, but those only seem to do about 5 psi.
With a limited number of uses you could try CO2 cartridges or use blanks to fill a smaller compression chamber.
