Air Blower

An air blower operable to produce an airflow that has a temperature that is greater than that of its surroundings comprising:

• a frame;
• a motor, said motor secured to said frame, said motor operable to provide the mechanical energy input required to operate the air blower;
• an ignition module, said ignition module operably coupled with said motor, said ignition module containing the necessary electronics to provide the starting and stopping thereof;
• an electrical alternator, said electrical alternator operably coupled to said motor, said electrical alternator operable to produce an electric current;
• a blower motor, said blower motor operably coupled to said motor, said blower motor operable to produce an airflow;
• a plurality of heating elements, said plurality of heating elements operably coupled to said electrical alternator, said plurality of heating elements being operable to provide an increase of temperature to the airflow;
• a bypass module, said bypass module being electrically coupled to said plurality of heating elements and said electrical alternator, said bypass module containing the necessary electronics to place the air blower in a first mode or a second mode of operation;
• and
• a discharge tube, said discharge tube having a plurality of releasably secured sections, said discharge tube having an outer wall and a hollow passage, said discharge tube operable to provide directional control of airflow exiting the air blower.

An air blower that is operable in a first mode and a second mode wherein the temperature of the airflow exiting the air blower in said second mode is different than that of the temperature of the air exiting the air blower in said first mode comprising:

• a frame;
• a motor, said motor secured to said frame, said motor operable to provide the mechanical energy input required to operate the air blower;
• an ignition module, said ignition module operably coupled with said motor, said ignition module containing the necessary electronics to provide the starting and stopping thereof;
• an electrical alternator, said electrical alternator operably coupled to said motor, said electrical alternator operable to produce an electric current;
• a blower motor, said blower motor operably coupled to said motor, said blower motor being disposed within a housing, said blower motor operable to produce an airflow;
• a discharge tube, said discharge tube having a plurality of releasably secured sections, said discharge tube having an outer wall and a hollow passage, said discharge tube operable to provide directional control of airflow exiting the air blower
• a first heating element, said first heating element disposed within said housing of said blower motor, said first heating element being in fluid communication with the airflow exiting said blower motor, said first heating element operable to increase the temperature of the airflow exiting the blower motor;
• a second heating element, said second heating element being disposed within the hollow passage of said discharge tube, said second heating element electrically coupled with said electrical alternator, said second heating element operable provide an increase of temperature to the airflow exiting said discharge tube;
• a bypass module, said bypass module being electrically coupled to said first heating element and said second heating element and said electrical alternator, said bypass module containing the necessary electronics to place the air blower in a first mode or a second mode of operation;
• and
• wherein in said second mode of operation the air blower produces an airflow exiting from said discharge tube having a temperature that is greater than that of its surroundings.
