For The Fan Fans

My axial industrial fans. the one with red plastic (glass filled polypropylene) blades is a 12 blade Flakt Woods BX 230 drive plate assembly with right hand blades that I assembled at my old work (freebie) and the high speed one with steel blades is from a new industrial gas heater that was scrapped for unknown reasons.

I have a number of other Flakt Woods axial impellers but no motors for them.

@emperormai I'm not really a fan collector but I don't mind Industrial fans, their strong enough to be useful in the workshop.

@325152379

what use is a video with no information?

[RRRMMM1111]

These big fans sound like giagantic vacum cleaners.

[Aussie50]

its essentially the same as a 2 stage vaccum, without ducting of course.

@emperormai Nope, I do as well!

Ahh, the vid that got me into the weird and wonderful world of Ed.

That's a very powerful unit especially the big fan. I'm just curious but why is the smaller fan louder than the big fan?

@emperormai all men like to be blown.

Well you have most of it right I would say, The fan blades in a two stage system should move the air in the same direction but oppose each other in the spinning direction. All you have to do now is make a more direct wind tunnel between the fans and try to get them closer together. To get better volume and static pressure you can make vanes to go between the to stages and get the blades VERY close to the vanes so they can cut the air and move more effectivly to the next stage.

@wasssuppp08 lol maybe in a big mainframe case :D
