Frank, 

The only device that comes close to all your criterion is a small 
regenerative blower.  Basically a precision-balanced vacuum cleaner motor 
with an induction motor.

I shopped around feverently before buying a Gast R7 for about 500 bucks. 
One moving part.  Look for such at sellers of air compressors.  WW
Grainger sells the Fuji brand, but I concluded they were less blow for the
buck than Gast. 

For one set of fires, you could no doubt get by with a smaller unit than 
the R7, for a bit less money - but I really believe regenerative blowers 
are the only way to go.  My .02.
