   You just need a constant flow of relatively low pressure air. I'm sure they sell units for just that and probably at a fairly high price. Me, I'd head to the pet store and see if they have a pump for aeration for aquariums. Under 10 bucks would be my goal.. You can increase the air flow by coming up with a nozzle.

   Well. I was looking for a product and got a MacGyver. Brilliant.

   I’m going with the aquarium pump. Thanks for all inputs on how to put this thing together.

   I’ll post a picture when finished.

   Have a good weekend.

   Get a piece of brass tubing small enough to fit into aquarium air line. make a gradual bend in the tubing and slightly crimp the end. attach it to the Dremmel with zip ties and adjust to get the air flow where you want it.
   Air pump $15, 5mm OD brass tubing $10, air line $5.

   That would work.
   I'd probably snag an end from one of my compressor air nozzles because I have them ,but other novel nozzle ideas:
   An emitter from a drip irrigation system
   Trim an end from a plastic syringe
   Maybe the air flow just though the plastic tubing is what you want
   A wire nut with a hole drilled in the end.
   Any end from some kind of squeeze bottle. You probably have 50 of those around the house.
   If all that fails there is always the old Lauren Bacall method-- you know,just pucker up and blow...

   Squeeze an empty glue bottle?

   I don't know the Veritas Dremel base. But the Stewmac version has a port built in for an air nozzle, and another accessory to blow dust out of the way.
