I invented the Bow Blower, a combination of the bow drill and forge blower to make a device that can force air into a fire while being easy to construct from commonly occurring natural materials using only primitive technology.

Next, I made a rotary fan from two pieces of bark that slot together at right angles to each other to form a simple 4 bladed pa...
