[Stoves] Powering a TLUD Fan

[Andrew C. Parker]

In a discussion of Martin Boll's Malot-blower, in July 2007, I proposed  
the use of a bellows.

Review the whole thread, Martin's idea is worth a re-read.  Jeff Davis did  
some follow-up development on the idea.)  Coincidentally, that next day I  
observed a model of an organ bellows, a single hand bellows feeding into  
an intermediate bellows with a weight on top which provided a steady flow  
into the organ.  I am sure you could treat the inner-tube in a similar  
way, blowing it up with a bellows, or even by mouth.  Would applying a  
weight provide more consistent pressure?

Calling a tank of compressed air an 'air battery' seems to make it more  
acceptable to the electronic gizmo crowd.
