Dr Dean Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Go get a fan out of a car, remove the motor and install a series of pulleys and belts increase the speed from the crank approx 50 rpm to an output speed of 2000 rpm. Disclamer I have a manufactured blower but if I had to build one that's how I'd do it. If you want pulley sizes I'll have to do some math and get back to you.

Dave Budd Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 have a dig about on Youtube for developing world blacksmiths. I've come across lots where they use a bicycle wheel as the large pulley and a drive belt rigged up to a paddle fan built inside a bucket or coffee can, quite often the peddles and gears are combined with a fan from the air conditioning (?) of a car.

Francis Trez Cole Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I have the chance to purchase blowers made in china they work real good on rivit forges they are not a champion or buffalo blower but they are new and resonably priced was wondering if there would be a market?

ksb Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 If you can find the blower out of a old clothes dryer you can rig up a pulley system for it. KSB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
