An electro-pneumatic blower having an electric motor drive and a set of centrifugal blower blade and a set of compressed air turbine blades, both sets being an integral part of a single blower turbine wheel which is mounted on the shaft of the motor. A preferred embodiment is a 30 pound portable unit which which has been tested at flows of 250 CFM at 6.6 inches water gage pressure rise when driven by a 0.5 HP, 3600 RPM electric motor. The blower provides flows of 375 CFM at 13 inches water gage pressure when driven by a compressed air turbine at 80 psig. The compressed air turbine blades in this embodiment are cast along with the blower blades as parts of a single blower-turbine wheel.
