@hokumu that camera is an Agfaphoto DV-5000HD. Its about $100. 720p 30fps, flash memory. takes two AA batteries. (i use rechargeables) i have another video which is a cheesy review on it you can check out if you like
@FMF666 there used to be an orchard around them. on really cold nights, the coldest air settles to the ground, and the warmer air is right about that (20 feet or so) these blow the warmer air down and keep the fruit from freezing. they're quite effective.
I havent ever seen a wind machine before, whats the purpose. A wind mill or generator creates power from the wind but this thing makes wind via the motors. why? wat cool though, I dig the new camera too
on a cold night, or "frost night" all the cold air settles to the ground, there is warmer air 20 or 30 feet up, this invisible changing point is called the "ceiling" the wind machine blows the warmer air down on the orchard below to help keep the fruit from freezing. they are very effective. (there used to be orange trees in his field)
I may start it soon. I'd have to take the carb off and clean that mud out of it, and the intake, oil it up, prime the carb with some fuel, lug some batterys up the tower, etc.
Did they use these to blow the Mexicans back to Mexico?

This thing is awesome. I hope you get it running. I would love to see it operating,

its used as frost protection for crops, the blades drive warm air down towards the ground. Think of it as frost insurance.
