Can you put this in automatic wash
Yes you can do this.
@@flettnerventilator9769 thanks
Is it true u must fit 1 floor vent for each flettner installed thanks
We recommend fitting a floor vent with a roof vent. From our own internal tests, we found that incoming air and extraction work well together. The incoming air supports the effective operations of the roof vent and helps it to operate to full capacity. The analogy we use is that of a coke bottle. If you suck a coke bottle after drinking it, the plastic will scrunch up and you will hit a limit of extraction. If you added a pin prick to the bottom of the bottle, you would be able to keep sucking air. So, with most installations a floor vent is a good approach.
How does rain not get through the vent if driving into remain at speed?
Excellent piece of equipment
Thieves break them off and fish through the small hole to reach the inside door levers. I have a mate who this happened to.
I have this fitted currently and it let's rain straight through when driving again the rain in motorways
In hot countries, they should make this stock-standard equipment plus one or two more as optional-extra.sss. 2x air intake, 1x air exhaust (spinning direction hack) for vehicles without sun roofs. And solar-cell linned additional plastic-layer insulator to power interior fans hacks to vent the entire vehicle when the thingies are not spinning (parked under the sun during supermarket run)...
Hi, Bought one of these 27 August, 2021, and as a reviewer stated, it only works when driving. I have done some research on my particular fan with CCTV & Windfinder app... It doesn't start to rotate until around 18-20 mph wind strength when parked on my drive. So resigned to a 'fail' this time, I decided that at least, it lets out hot air and doesn't leak when it rains. [Ford Transit Custom]. What has decided me to enquire now, is I recently pulled up next to an identical FTC at a local business, only to see his LP flettner spin happily in a little wind where mine was motionless only 5 yds away? I am in the process of slowly backing off the securing bolts, in case it is my fault overtightening them. But no improvement yet.....
Should move freely with little wind
Hi mate did you get it sorted? I’m in the same position now?
@@LewisBotham-pv6dj Hi Lewis, the answer is No. Have tried loosening off the securing screws but still only starts rotating 'slowly' when wind speed is over 20 mph... 2nd thought I've had is are the roof bars interrupting/reducing the airflow/wind to the Flettner? Plus side is I have a waterproof vent in the roof! I now have a Propex LPG heater installed which can suck in fresh air (unheated) if it gets too hot in the Summer (what's that?)
suspect scottish midges would be able to get in that gap when parked if the wind wasn't blowing much?
I want one put in. My car
I struggled to find this video but thank you it answers my worries..👍
What keeps it from leaking into the trailer or vehicle?
Waterproof Silicone sealant
What if the roof is really rigid ie no flat surface. ?
I would NEVER have one of these Vents again...They are incredibly noisy, especially if theres a strong wind blowing outside.
Just bought a van with one of these, first time I went above 50 I thought it was a helicopter I was in ...noisiest thing I've ever heard, it's coming out.!
can you drive trough a wash plant with it?
I want one, now I just need a utility van.
Is it rainproof?
No
Mine leak like a sieve.
Please make a complete video for the adapter install. It is not clear where the adapter goes in this video.
Hello, we are sorry the video was unable to answer you questions. Please get in contact with us if you would like any further assistance on how to install a TCX-2 Adapter: www.flettner.co.uk/contact-us/
What if the food is slightly slanted.?.Must the roof be 180degees...
Hello, we advise to install on a completely flat surface to ensure there is a watertight seal between the top clamp plate and your roof
Se puede colocar en el techo de Mercedes Vito, No es plano, esta algo inclinado, tendría eficacia?
hi we have one of these on the van we just bought - is there a way to close it properly or stop it making such a loud noise on the motorway please? any advice gratefully received thanks
Hi Clare, all of our ventilators come with an adjustable interior shutter allowing you to leave it in an open or closed position. Your vent should be virtually silent - if you are having any issues please contact us here: www.flettner.co.uk/contact-us/
I have an idea. What if you made a U-shaped base around the vent which would be only open at the rear side. This base would be only 10mm high. You don’t want new holes in the roof so you can use a powerful adhesive like the Sikaflex 221. There would be 3 threaded holes in this base (you can use aluminium rivet nuts) which would allow you to attach a streamlined cover. That will block the wind, the ventilator won’t be spinning. When you’re planning to do 70mp for hours, put the cover on; then remove it when you arrived to your destination. The only inconvenience is that you don’t take a ladder with you, so how do you get up there?
Another (inconvenient) solution could be to use a belt-like cover with Velcro from the outside. When you’re planning to do 70mp for hours wrap the belt around the ventilator; then remove the cover when you arrived to your destination.
👍😎👌
what a price still for piece of plastic, damn it!
Does it make any noise when you drive fast
Hello, if installed correctly our ventilators are virtually silent. For more information please visit our FAQ: www.flettner.co.uk/flettner-frequently-asked-questions/

Do you ship to the 48 [US] states?
Hello, please use our Where to Buy map to find your nearest USA distributor: www.flettner.co.uk/where-to-buy/
I have the low profile version. It is great. It really gets spinning in the morn when I warm the van up. People always ask what it is... I am in the USA. Doesn't make noise. No rain gets inside. Installing a second roof hatch this spring to remove bad air faster when parked however. Great product!!!
Thank you for your comment. It's great to hear you are satisfied with your Flettner!
I've fitted mine but can't believe how noisy it is .... sounds like someone's knocking on the roof when it's spinning 😡😡
How do i remove?
Could this be installed onto a estate car roof?
Yes! Our ventilators have a very wide range of applications, and we have customers who have installed our vents on an estate car
WOW epic
can this ventilator be installed on van back door above window on the metal????
Haha. Good one. And how is it supposed to rotate freely being vertically placed?
Hi Denise, our ventilators must be placed on a level surface in order to function correctly. You may find our FAQ helpful: www.flettner.co.uk/flettner-frequently-asked-questions/
Interesting, so this could be very very easily retrofitted with extremely soft brushes to induce a static charge to power a capacitor bank and then onto a battery bank. So your vehicle could literally be charging itself while not even moving provided that there's wind and really charging very well when moving. Why do we have petrol and diesel vehicle's when static electricity could easily replace them and be far cleaner, vehicles would literally be ozone creators which if you skip back 20 years or so all aerosols were supposed to be depleting our ozone to unsafe levels. No carbon emissions just ozone which is supposed to be beneficial not only to ourselves but also plants and the general environment. It's really not rocket science, when a static object is brushed by bristles in motion a positive charge is converted, this charge can very very easily be channelled into super capacitors and them be then channelled into high density and cycling batteries. Not what oil companies want because someone with brains and enough funding can easily make an electric vehicle that doesn't need to ever be plugged in to charge. Of course you'll require deep cycle batteries to provide your initial power to move the vehicle but the point it YOU DON'T NEED TO CHARGE IT, THE THING WILL CHARGE JUST SITTING THERE IF THERE'S ANY WIND. Keep in mind that you don't require a lot of abrasive force to create a static charge and the more your turbine spins the higher/faster it provides energy, of course the ideal cars would have solar roof panels and me personally I'd also run water guttering with turbines just encase of the unlikely event of no wind or Sun but just rain. The three main basis for any truly fully electric vehicles to cover is what I call “the WESS. principal" and that's water, electrostatic, solar. If any “E,V" isn't in some significant way trying to gain energy from all of these avenues then in my humble opinion it's not a true E,V because it's still dragging from the nuclear power stations. No electric vehicles should need to be plugged into to be recharged as our very climate can more than provide the power needed in fact if you could afford to spend as you need to in those three areas you'd have surplus power not struggling to make it. The biggest conspiracy to hinder our world was the creation of finance, the one very clause that prevents our species from making real productive progress for everyone. We'll get past in soon enough but it's been an absolute murderous nightmare getting to it. Good video, please contact me if you want more information on how you can repurpose your product for the up and coming electric vehicles markets. In 20 years we won't have petrol and diesel powered cars on the roads, I'm sure it would be prudent for you to make this product into a static electric charging device it really wouldn't take a great deal of modifications in the production process. Just think of all the E,V's that your system could be providing static safe charging for, ITS AS BIG AS THE GUY WHO INVENTED CATS EYE ROAD REFLECTORS. And I don't even want you to pay me for this idea, I'd just like to see it developed and it be shown to E,V enthusiasts that it's an excellent device, if you're really on the ball you could make a traditional turbine with a motor in it and make it detachable so if people can't exploit the wind, rain or solar then should they be near a river or stream it could be put in that and charge. I DON'T WANT PAYING I JUST WANT TO SEE PROGRESS. A true electric vehicle that would do real justice to the late Dr Nikola Tesla.
Great Idea theoretically, cannot work in reality
I'm 50 years old and today i've learned what the heck those things are actually called ! :)) Well now i'm all set for if i ever go on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' cos i just be that would be the top question XD
Erm, why doesnt that template have the lines predrawn there from the start?
Exactly what I shouted at the screen! LOL 🤣
@flettnerventilator9769 ??????🙄☝
Looks like water could get directly into the vehicle if driving in the rain. How is this avoided?
I used to have one on my paint van and I live in the UK where it's more rain than not and never had issues with wet interior of my van. I'm assuming that the rotation provides a vortex which causes suction from the interior of the vehicle to the exterior thus repelling the rain exactly like how it draws and keeps it cool.
Is there a off the shelf kit available for removal of one of these ?
Yeah it's called 2mm sheet steel and a welder and once you're done making sure the welds are water tight then use some anti rust treatment paint and paint it on sparingly around all the areas that are exposed. Allow to dry they apply some good quality primer, I understand that not everyone has a welder or knows how to weld, arc welders cost next to nothing and I can promise anyone who really takes time to learn how to weld it will only benefit you. Being able to custom make things when you need them is extremely handy, I think it should be taught as a basic skill for children in school a lot like construction used to be but obviously at the beginning of secondary school all children should be learning these very simply but extremely handy throughout life skills. Buy a welder and some steel, buy an arc welder to start then move onto others if you want and can afford it. If you don't want to weld then I suppose braising is another technique you could employ which coincidently is becoming more and more popular with the use of hydrogen gas torches and them being far safer that all other methods. Either buy a welder or make or buy a high volume hydrogen cell which is cheaper than some might think. And what's great about using hydrogen gas for braising is it recondeses back into clean water so it's a pretty cool solution.
The installer didn't wipe off the excess silicone and left toolsdown on the Bare paintwork not very professional no attention to detail I could go on but I won't
and the rain?
no problem!
Hi Angie, with the correct installation Flettner Ventilators are completely watertight and can even be taken through a car wash
Are they supposed to be so noisy ? @flettnerventilator9769
What do you mean by 75-96mm hole saw? Isn't the hole supposed to be 96mm? I can't find a 96mm hole saw ANYWHERE. Where's yours from? Thanks :)
Bosch do a range of holesaws including similar sizes
The Bosch product name is the Progressor holesaw range. Erbauer also do a cheaper version
Upload a video with the sound enabled please. We need to the hear the noise level.
Ideally this should have been at least a minute, showing the device in context from all angles; front, back and even inside. After all why is someone viewing the video, 12 seconds videos aren't really much good.
Ah! So that's what that is.
