From the video description:
The previous pulley blower was fixed in place and couldn't be moved due to stakes hammered into the ground that supported the rotor for the blower. This meant that the blower took up room in an already cluttered hut. To make it portable, I tried to lash the stakes to the housing but it would not do so in such a way that the rotor would be centred. So the solution I came up with was to the piece of the ground the stakes were hammered into portable- I simply cast the stakes into an adobe block and it it dry hard. The result was a portable blower that could be shifted out of the way and stored in a corner until needed. I then did an iron smelt with it and it got a similar yield to the original set up.

TBH, I think the Flywheel blower looked like a better design, overall... but the pulley blower is a neat idea!
