See Levell 2000 Appendix VII. FK. See Michael Aris: 'Tibetan Technology and the West'. Bulletin of Tibetology Volume 6 number 1(1969), pp. 15-19. 'The Tibetan model [of the steam-jet fire-blower] still takes the form of a bottle-shaped conical copper kettle surmounted by a bird's head, the beak of which, sometimes quite elongated, points downwards and has a pin-hole at the end. The steam emitted is thus directed on the flame and the hot air carried with it blows the fire up.' The description of this object as a 'spirit-scarer' relates to their use in camps when a vessel might be put on the ashes of the fire at night, the whistling of the steam being believed to drive spirits away. Hans Roth was told of this secondary use by Georg S\u00f6derbom, a missionary who accompanied the Sven Hedin Sino-Swedish Expedition in the 1930's to Central Asia. According to him, at the fire place of their camel drivers it was used every night and no calamities happened!
