Actually, no. That wasn't my thought at all. I was thinking more of volume of
fresh air, not pressure.

OK, so it seems that my concept of what you are doing is far off-base.

Agreed. I had obviously mis-understood what you were after - which is a small,
directed stream of fresh air with a fair amount of volume/velocity. My idea was
more for a fair amount of volume over a more general area with not as much
velocity.

Working at the Zone as I do I could probably come up with the fitments for what
I had in mind for >$10 in the aisle with the exhaust adapters/fittings ... and
a small piece of Masonite or plyboard. Ah, well. Win some, lose some. And get
rained out once in a while.   Bv)=
