At my job they have those things, and some of them have a two prong plug.
Now is the time to look for one that is damaged, or just the blower unit itself.
However, I imagine you could just use wind to deploy a boat-tail if you simply had a cone with a hole at the back end and some means of retraction.

Bruce Ruefer,in Lubbock,Texas had a rig he was inventing/testing which used Bauman scoops to fuel the envelope with pressurized air in the mid-1990s.
I've tried to locate him online to no avail.
Texas Tech Aero Lab was helping him on the project.
The trail has gone cold.
