    I while back I made a video where I tried to take MIT research into toroidal propellers and use it on a PC fan. In that video we spoke about a propeller that's been available for boats for some time. Well today Tom decided to find out what would happen if you took the Sharrow marine toroidal propeller and turned it into a PC fan.

      The Elegoo Jupiter also has a build plate big enough for two 120x120mm fan parts side by side, maybe even 4 at a time if you tilt them to the perfect angle. And with resin printing, your print time is the same per unit height, regardless of how much stuff you pack on the plate. So even though washing and curing and dealing with chemicals and ventilation is a pain, it's possible that the resin printing workflow actually ends up being less time-consuming than FDM in the end.

    Nice episode Major, super interesting fans. Going back to the previous episode with the all-time best fans, I think that you could probably make that into a mini-series. Maybe you could run more tests such as radiator thermals, air cooler thermals, noise, and maybe a noise to performance metric. Then maybe another episode testing fdm vs resin. I know you have done comparison videos in the past, however, I feel like different designs could respond differently based on wing thickness and such, which could drastically alter the weight, and thus performance of the fan. Anyway, Keep up the great work, I'll never get tired of this series.
    Oh and one more thing that I've been meaning to discuss with the community. There seems to be a missing metric which is never discussed in these videos, and that the cfm testing leaves absent. The turbulence of the air, the angle of the exhaust and it's rotation, as well as the speed, within the first three inches behind the fan, can be a significant variable that is overlooked in the current testing methodology. Also, the positioning of the exhaust can be a significant variable, especially with air cooling as the exhaust being concentrated closer to the vapor tubes can substantially change thermals. Because of this, I hope you consider going back to the previous testing methods of just checking thermals using a well built air cooler in the future, as I represents a much more real world performance metric, than just check cfm and static pressure. I understand the community likes the current testing method, but it does seem to fall short for me. I think that the information gathered from the wind tunnel is a nice piece of supplemental information, but it doesn't tell the whole story.
    anyway, that's my two cents. I'd love to hear what the community has to say. And congrats on being a new parent!

  • @seanmalloy7249
    @seanmalloy7249 Год назад

    Just as an aside for the high-bypass and open fan designs for jet engines, there is a second limiting factor -- tip speed. The faster a fan rotates, the faster the blade tips move, and the larger the fan, the faster the blade tips move for the same rotation speed. It will likely never be a problem for computer fans, but the higher the mach number of a propellor or fan, the lower its efficiency becomes, and when the blade tips closely approach Mach 1, the noise produced goes up hugely. In the 1950s, there were two experimental XF-84H fighters built with a turboprop engine driving specially-designed supersonic propellors. These planes quickly acquired the nickname 'Thunderscreech', because the sound produced by the propellor when the engine was run up, in the plane of the propellor, was physically painful more than 100 yards away from the plane.

  • @fishyerik

    The XL would probably do much better without the ring on the fan, and with a stator. Probably still not super high performance, but it have the potential to be very quiet, if it doesn't rub, and with a silent bearing. One of the easiest ways to make a fan quiet, oversize it.
    Rings on the fans is a bad idea, that's why it's (almost) not a thing. It hurts aerodynamics, pretty bad, and cause noise. I tried it when I made a replacement for my table fan, I knew it wouldn't have great performance, but I was really surprised by how bad it actually was. Very low performance, high noise and high power draw. If stretching of the blades is the concern, thicker blades is a much better solution.
    Not having a stator on axial fans that push air into an open chamber is another classic, it's amazing how little back pressure it takes to reduce the flow a lot.
    Besides those two issues, and the fact that the size makes it "not very practical" I really do like the design.

  • @solandri69
    @solandri69 Год назад

    I've seen numerous PC modders make videos "testing" a toroidal propeller as a PC fan. The whole point of a toroidal propeller is to prevent/reduce tip vortices - air or water wrapping around the tip of the blade from the high pressure side to the low pressure side, which reduces efficiency. This is completely unnecessary in a PC fan because PC fans are ducted. The ends of the blades attach to a shroud or duct, and the duct completely blocks these tip vortices.
    Ducts are generally undesirable in boat or plane propellers because the extra surface area creates additional drag for the propeller, reducing its efficiency more than the efficiency gain for preventing tip vortices. Which is where the toroidal propeller has an advantage, because it can prevent tip vortices for a much smaller increase in drag (it has more propeller surface area, but not as much as a duct). Usually you only see ducted propellers in applications where objects entangling in the propeller are a risk. But if you're trying to blow air into/out of an enclosed space (like a PC), the edges of the fan blades are already going to be right up against a stationary object, so it is by default ducted. And there's no benefit to reducing tip vortices because there are none in the first place.

    @seanmalloy7249 Год назад

    I strongly suspect, although I don't have a way to prove it, that the reason the Sharrow toroidal propellor comes up short as a case fan is the medium. Water is largely incompressible, so a propellor that moves larger quantities of water has greater thrust by direct reaction. Air, on the other hand, is readily compressible, so a fan that moves lots of air builds up a higher pressure behind the fan; given time for the air to expand again -- as in a high-bypass turbofan engine -- you recover the energy from that compression, but over the distances involved with a normal case fan setup, you're just getting a higher pressure behind the fan than you would with a more efficient fan design, not a greater airflow.

    You should make a modified version of the radish which has a frame around that extra part to make it fit in front of the grill. It looks likely that it will be the overall winner if it's measured as intended.

    The inlet runner needs to be longer so it'll accelerate the air before hitting the blades. I've been able to improve CFM by installing a 4" duct adaptor on the inlet end of a 120mm fan.

    The Sharrow prop concept does not have any benifet in a ducted fan scenario. This has already been tested in marine conditions with bow thruster tests (by Sharrow themselves). I don't think there's much more to be gained, without using a non pc fan format for mounting. The prop has to be separated from the motor by a long shaft to take advantage of the fluid dynamics involved.

    It's so charming how all the DIY engineers make their fans... Just like in cargo-cult make "look alike thing" and it will work somehow. If I need to design fan, I'll analyze flow I need, power I have, and just calculate blade configuration for this exact case. Modern fans can produce up to 97% of efficiency, so you can't go against physics and invent over 100% ECE configuration. However, you can create a little less noisy fan with some design efforts.

    • @WeBeGood06
      @WeBeGood06 Год назад

      Yes, I agree with you. You can see the RPM is very low, meaning the power the electric motor is putting out is very low. It's running on half the power that other fans are. Hope you give it a try, but reducing the angle of attack of the blades, and the blade area will reduce the "bite" of air, allowing the motor to spin faster and the motor to use more power. More Power, more air flow. It's just like having the wrong propeller on a boat motor. The motor needs to spin at a certain RPM to maximize power.

  • @custommotor
    @custommotor Год назад

    The thing about the chart is I wish that all the fans were run at a constant rpm. All the fans should be tested at 2000rpm with maybe a 50rpm variance. Without a standard rpm the CFM really isn't a direct comparison. A heavier part would cause slower speeds which effects its CFM compared to a lighter part spinning faster and possibly pulling more air. Fast doesn't always mean higher cfm, but it can.

      The really insane thing is that the A12 is largely inspired by the Nidec Gentle Typhoon, that was released like 15 years ago. The A12 is better, but it's also using better materials and manufacturing methods. The GT's only cost ~$13, and that's accounting for inflation.

      @@MlnscBoo Well, older seasons used different testing setups that prioritized pure airflow, so some designs did better than the A12 in that environment. Now that we're measuring the air that can be pushed through a radiator, the A12 is showing off what it was optimized to do, and hasn't been beaten. And yeah, iirc, the fan that got the brand deal was not necessarily because it beat the A12 in performance metrics, it was because it was *pretty* good and also had a very cool serrated look.

    My outside-the-box idea is, if anyone wants to try and create it for me, is what I instantly came up with before the XL was shown (after he hyped it):
    It's like a high bypass, in essence.
    Inside the hub is a high speed turbine style (aka jet), like on _Turbo Pump;_ *however,* instead of the velocity stack, it extends out BEYOND the frame of the fan and transitions the pitch into a 200mm Ultra-High Bypass sickle style blade. _(it will probably need a support rings @150mm, and blade tip; aka 200mm)_
    Then, to to it all of, is a big shroud that has a velocity lip and funnels the 200mm back down to 120mm... ☺️😏
    Therefore combining the airflow from the inner high speed turbine PLUS the high volume from the UHBP portion.
    My hope, in the end, is that _if nothing else_ the high volume airflow will act as a "lubricant" and cause air to channel inwards at an even higher speed, thanks to the inner turbine blade! 🥴

    Enlarge the cheater blades or 1 of the other past ringless fans that ranked well, to fit snugly into the XL enclosure instead of the hideous ring fan.

    Now that I've seen a ton of theae vids. The Radish does look nice. But when attached to a radiator wouldn't that only push air only in the center, not all over the surface to help cooling?
    Also these larger cooler fans need more power. The base fan only has so much power. So any larger, and usually heavier, fan doesn't get to full "power". Other than your R/C motor, do you have any other way to see if some of these fans need just a bit more power?

    I like both the narrow-ness of the Radish's exhaust flow, and the obtuse exhaust of the turbo.
    If I were to use 120mm fans I'd throw the turbo on the bottom, and the radish in the center and top positions.
    But 180mm fans is where it's at.

    That turbo one looks backwards. I would have put the small end as the output. If that was the drive end, where the fuel is burned to produce power, then, yes, it is absolutely the right way around. The idea of a turbo intake is to gather as much air as possible and compress and accelerate it. The blades are right, but it looks like the drive.

    I'm thinking that if the fan "shroud" on the exhaust side of the "Radish" design was extended to match the tip it might still work on a radiator. That and the triskelion seemed to have the most condensed airflow during your smoke test. I was very disappointed with the Triskelion's performance numbers, especially given how well the Sharrow prop actually does work and the numbers quoted from the MIT people with their quad copter props.
