[Stoves] Blower -- Was Re: Tanzania Project

[psanders at ilstu.edu]

Dear Martin, Andrew and all.

The weighted "air bag" would be appropriate and could use a bellows.

I have used and broken at least 6 of the plastic hand-powered barbeque 
blowers. Simply not sturdy.

Quoting "Boll, Martin Dr." <boll.bn at t-online.de>:

Air pump is much too strong and has a relatively low volume.  I just 
need a nice
steady blowing.

I do not know.  But probably about double or triple what Reed has in 
the Woodgas
Campstove because I am making larger units sometimes.

For this application, yes, only for primary air (which makes it much 
more simple
to solve.).
