Specifically, I want to use the wind to turn the screw attached to blades. On the rules, it states that the moving air needs to *start* the next action. Can it power another action entirely? Thanks!

The wind still starts the next action, and nowhere in the rules does it say it can't continue the next action. Submit a clarification if you want to be sure, though. My guess is that it's fine--they're allowing the gas from the chemical reaction to fill up the balloon, even though they run somewhat simultaneously.

I followed your advice.

I emailed my regional supervisor, and she replied that I would have to be careful about it; she stated that the action would be a parallel task. Therefore, I think I'll just add another fan to power the screw.

Thanks!
