Hi guys!

Aint no engineer, and need some tips on a concept.

Basically what I´m trying to achieve is to establish a light flow of warm air through a hose, using nothing other than a small box of propane and kind of a small burner or something. Needs to create enough pressure to keep constant flow of air.

Any ideas on how this could be solved?

To get flow from hot air using heat alone you need the end of the hose /tube to be higher than the inlet. Search flow through flues and liners. They're was a discussion a while back on eng tips about chimney flow which had a lot of useful information. Hot air alone doesn't generate much "pressure". Some more details would be good.
