This reminds me of the time I took a fan blade out of an old dead window A/C. The blade was metal and probably ran a max of 500 RPM. It also was very well balanced as it had the water slinger ring attached to it. I stuck that blade on an old furnace motor that ran at 1750 RPM and the air it was moving felt like a wind tunnel!
Love your work, keep up the experiments, only way to discover things! I would suggest cutting the plastic webbing near the fan blade base to introduce a failure point if you want to destroy the fan. That certainly would make an exciting video however be careful of course!
I've got a box fan with a 2 horse power motor the size of my fist, and even on idle it generates a hurricane in my room so strong it blows everything off my desk across the room even the stapler had no chance. That what I call the mother of all box fans.
@HoldenVTCalais I have it's somewhere in my earlier videos. It's a Massive industrial water box fan with an upgraded motor that can run on 3phs or single phs. Look in my FAN OF FANS play list it should be there.
I have a LS-65T3-4P 50/60H 120V AC 1.1a motor that I took from the portable air conditioner i need help running it on dc. it has 4 wires blue,yellow,orange and red.
Now I'm curious what would happen if you took an old belt driven furnace blower assembly, pulled off the stock four pole motor and put on a two pole motor from a well pump so that the blower ran at twice the speed?
It would never reach those speeds, furnace blowers create a lot of drag on the motor, you would need like 2 to 3 times more hp. However I have done this on a much smaller scale and nothing happens.
@@HL4EHalfLife I have tons of dc motors from VCRs,And printers also I have computer fans I have one powerful one NMB NMB-MAT / Minebea 4715KL-04W-B56 Server - Square Fan DC 12V 1.3A. I stole the fan of PC when I took it apart,I need to get more powerful fans ,I want a bunch of them lol 😆
Try cutting things with some type of rig to cut an object. You could prolly use it to drop something on it. Get some kind of real reading of air speed.

I've done that too.
@HoldenVTCalais Those fan blades are long gone, I'm talking like 20 years ago.

I wish my sleep fan had this power

@HoldenVTCalais
What I'll do is post a new video of it but this time I'll try and replicate the blowing stuff off my desk.
@HoldenVTCalais
All good bro
That’s a Hoover DAM motor
I think the reason why didn’t break is because the blades aren’t brittle enough i’ve tried to bend one of those blades and they are quite flexible
sounds like an old Porsche 911

Your blades maybe didn't break because they are seperated, opposed to a continual disk which would oscillate and damage itself
Shattered a fan the other day, by jamming my thumb into it... Not intentionally 😂
I bet there is a lot of stress on the plastic blades at high speed.
Hey you're back
I had that idea for a long time
Now you have to do it up to 240 until the motor fries
Do you have any treadmill motors?
Yes but they spin and much slower speeds (about 6000-9000 rpm's) and are much harder to mount things too.

He needs to see how weak or strong a shop vac motor is
yes good idea
put it in a vacuum so there’s no air and it will spin faster
7350 rpm outside 7000 rpm inside
