An apparatus (301) for detecting a puncture comprises a housing (302) comprising a plurality of compartments (501). Each compartment comprises an opening (701) for receiving a flow of air into the compartment. Each compartment also comprises a detection element (401) mounted on an axle (403), the axle having a first end (404) and a second end (405) and being secured at said first end and said second end within the compartment. The detection element is rotatable about the axle and when a flow of air passes through the opening into the compartment, the detection element rotates around the axle in response to the flow of air.
