Twin-Tub Blower

Mechanically driven twin-tub bellows that supplies cold blast air.

The blower is the tier's only source of blast air, and it wants nothing but a turning axle: couple a waterwheel or a windmill to the cell above it and it starts moving air on its own. Below an axle speed of 0.5 it delivers nothing at all; output climbs linearly from there and reaches its full 45 L/s at 1.5. Run Plated Piping (Straight) from its port to the tuyeres it feeds.

See Furnaces and heat for the pressure a burden demands and Pipe networks and pressure for the plumbing between them.
