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.
