(54) Air pump for the acceleration of the combustion applicable for recuperators, fire places and alike


(57) This invention consists of a portable air pump that conveniently positioned close to a fire place will accelerate the rate of combustion.
With this device there is no longer a need to take care of the fireplace, especially during the first stage of the combustion process, with the use of certain traditional elements such as a bellow; rather, this battery run device allows for an air flow to be directed to the charcoal where the combustion is taking place, in a continuous and unoform manner, thus allowing for the flame to become stronger. This process may take a few minutes (depending on the quality of the wood) until the flame is so strong that the device may be switched off
Evidently, this process may be repeated when and as necessary, especially if the flame is becoming weaker or if more wood is being added to the fire place.
