How about a shop vacuum and one of those handheld wind meters?  Or if
the wind meter is too coarse a measurement tool, I seem to recall a "How
To" article in an old (10 years or so) Scientific American about making
a very low velocity wind gauge.  It involved a vertical arrangement of a
heater below and a temperature gauge above.  Supposedly it was good
enough to measure the breeze from a moth's wings.
