On my way back to my house today i stoped at a thrift store just to see what thay had and i found a sweet fan for 2 bucks. it is all aluminum, and is 26v so being protable will be a easy just 2 small 12v batterys. this blows a lot of air and is quite quiet. i found the web site that sells it and it is

what CFM do i need and also what kind of pressure is needed. check the website i posted and let me know what you think. i would need to make a cone to taper the air flow into the burner. one more thing i was thinking is this. do i have to put the gas input after the fan or can i put the gas jet above the fan so it gets mixed thoroughly as it gets sucked through the fan? o i also got a huge thick auto cad book for free because i got the fan. score
 
i was looking on the website about this fan and it has a speed control function. my fan is the therma pro-v and has 5 wires, 2 for power and 2 for speed control (can connect to a temp meter) and 1 that i dont know yet. but cool
 
thats whats cool, its brushless. it very cool where using it to cool the tv room right now as we speek. this fan sells for around $100. so being brushless would it work to suck the gas in to the fan.
 
The gas is the last thing injected before the mixing chamber or nozzle.
