Le Frog's fan under test. I am using a Bosch electric motor to drive the fan. I have made the drive shaft and bearing mounts myself. I modified both pulleys to take the motor shaft and the fan drive shaft.
This fan is 19.5" diameter and moves a lot of air. It should do for the radiator. The radiator I am going to use came off the same vehicle as the fan, which is a International B100 Drott (JCB on tracks).
The video doesn't capture the whole bench shaking. Still at that speed should the fan fly off it would shoot forwards rather than to the side.

all you need to do now is get ready to dial 999 for an ambulance.
