[Gasification] blower suggestions?

[jim mason]

i need to stop using shop vacs to pull my vacuum for gasifier tests.
i'm curious what people have found useful for gasifier testing, and
also long running when a blower is needed to feed an open flame
situation.

i need to pull at least 10" of water vacuum.  a squirrel cage will not do it.

as usual, the blower needs to be well sealed, and the cooling air for
the motor needs to not come from the blown gas.

what are the good value solutions identified to date?
