Abstract
An air blowing apparatus having an auxiliary housing and auxiliary air flow output that can be selectively engaged and disengaged is described herein. In an embodiment of the disclosure, the auxiliary housing can comprise an auxiliary fan to generate a second high speed air flow to supplement a high volume air flow of a primary housing. When baffled, the auxiliary fan is isolated from air intake and can be driven with little power consumption. An air blowing apparatus can be a backpack-style apparatus or hand-held air blowing apparatus. As examples, one airflow can have a relatively high volumetric flowrate relative to another airflow, or can have a high air speed relative to another airflow, or can have a high energy relative to another airflow, and so forth.
