Default Portable Ventilation Question

I know I saw this somewhere, a portable mega fan. It was a machine that sits on your table and it had a hose (like a dryer hose) that you ran outside. Has anyone seen this? If so can you tell me where I can find this. I am in a fifth wheel trailer (we are traveling). I am using a hot head with Mapp 1# canisters. Would this work for me? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Chris

The very fact that it has a flex hose negates its potential positive aspects. Flex hose is very inefficient, and can reduce air flow by as much as 50%.

Ventilation is one of the things that really needs to be 'hard wired' and permanently installed.

I believe this fan came up in discussion and it was determined to be product uses in STAINED GLASS work where the ventilation requirements is quite a bit less than in molten glass/torch work...

I think discussion was on the technical section of WC....
