In a discussion of Martin Boll's Malot-blower, in July 2007, I proposed the use of a bellows. (<http://listserv.repp.org/pipermail/stoves_listserv.repp.org/2007-July/006856.html> 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. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_battery>
