he should just replace the hidden fan with a smaller version of the air amplifier... and then have another smaller air amplifier for the blower in the blower, eventually he could minimize it into an ultra tiny electrostatic air mover.

Yeah, I didn't quite grasp how turning a small volume of fast moving air into a larger volume of slow moving air maps to the concept of "amplification" either.
