I took a tour through Smutty's brewery a while ago and they had a pretty intense air injection system for aerating the wort and I thought it was awesome. Does anyone have a homebrew setup for this? Is there a sustainable method? Could one just use an air compressor?
Anyone use a forced O2 aerator?

There are a couple of challenges you would have to think about. sanitizing the air, which would include removing the oil from the compressed air, and what would you do when/if you make a fairly big beer and need pure O2?
There are 2 ways to get oxygen into wort:
1) Pure O2 with a stone.
2) Everything else.

I use the stone/wand from William Brewing that attaches to a welding grade, small red O2 canister from nearly every hardware store on earth.

I also use the William's Brewing one. I like that it has a rod which makes it easier to handle:
There are other alternatives too. Some people like to use in-line injection like this one from MoreBeer:
