  if you have an air compresser of sufficient output then go for the 50 -
120 psi
method
but if you dont like the idea of your compresser running  24-7  then go for the
lo pressure method.   your best bet is to use the vacuum method    ( get a shop
vac  ) and pull air across the gap ( a small shop vac 30 $ worth ) will
pull air
across a gap at about 90 mph thru a 2 " pipe....
