and where it is on the model - the "floor" of the entrance foyer
Some fan blades = one in the Jig - the other to show what it looks like after i trim it to size ( 5" wide)
It's going together now!
The Bricks are starting to go up....
The fan is getting more blades attached.. Does anyone else see a "potential" problem here????
There will be 10 blades around the "hub"... I put a bead of glue along both sides of both suppports, the same as is used on model rocket's fins.
Is this enough support for the fan blades??? i think it is - since the blades only weigh about 4 oz. each.
Yes, "times 10" equals 40 oz. Almost 3 pounds! Plus the Hub weighs about 1/2 pound...
It's DONE!!!!! The fan - that is!!!!!
After a bunch of desigining and re-building and gluing, here it is
i couldn't even wait for it to dry....
Got the "power supply for it too
2 RPM Motor
even "rigged" a pulley for the motor
Matches the brass pulley on the fan above
For refrence
I installed the fan, now I can start the chimney
The prototype:
and the fan has been installed ansd it works great!!! (Prototype first)
