About This Video:
The previous pulley blower was fixed in place and couldn't be moved due to stakes hammered into the ground that supported the rotor for the blower. This meant that the blower took up room in an already cluttered hut. To make it portable, I tried to lash the stakes to the housing but it would not do so in such a way that the rotor would be centred. So the solution I came up with was to the piece of the ground the stakes were hammered into portable- I simply cast the stakes into an adobe block and it it dry hard. The result was a portable blower that could be shifted out of the way and stored in a corner until needed. I then did an iron smelt with it and it got a similar yield to the original set up.
About Primitive Technology:
Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.
