"Taurus fan" in a Kirkham

[rodneym]

MOTORHEAD,

Please keep us updated with pics (I haven't seen this install in a CSX/KMP) and results.

BTW, I just installed a 16" Spal pusher directly in front of my H.O. puller, to create a fan/radiator sandwich. Dick Smith had this setup and David Kirkham said it works...and it does. There was some concern online whether this setup would create standing waves but the secret is that the fans have to turn opposite direction, like the dual propellers on that old Russian bomber, the Tupolev Tu-95. I bought an anemometer and measured. I got 23% greater wind speed with the pusher helping the puller. Of course there's another 20 amp draw and you have to set that up accordingly. When I have time I'll do a write up on the project.

Again, please keep us updated.

Yeah, yeah, yeah -- you've got the time. Just do it. There's an old saying that I've always found to be true: "If you want something done quickly, give it to a busy man."

It's gonna take time to do this write up the patrickt way.
I gotta go to the manicurist, get my dog groomed, clean my doilies and recharge my camera battery. And then write the damn thing!
