Bellows is not bad, but at least a bellows blowing by motion up _and_ down,
or an intermediate reservoir to avoid the blow-stop in-between; because in
equal-long pauses nearly all the gained blow-effect is lost.

Did you already blow yourself into a tube? For a trail-stove it works, but
if possible, I would prefer to flutter instead to blow; or take a commercial
plastic hand-geared BBQ-blower for about 3-6euro. The flexible tube to blow
from a certain distance to the fire works, but if you need a good blow you
will only like a use of _very_ short time.

I cannot imagine, it would work satisfying for a (even small) T-LUD.

 

Look to the pictures of my Malot-rotor construction, which Jeff Davis posted
into the bioenergy-list, built one for fun, and then compare. 

 

Have fun!
