Alternate use for an EDF.
Hello all.
Im working on a combat robot project at the moment and think I'll need to use an EDF for it, but through you lot would be the folks to ask. Basically I need a compact method of creating a narrow stream of high speed (or possibly high pressure) air to turn something with a similar profile to a waterwheel.
I've researched 3D printed centrifugal blowers that seem to create high pressure air and EDFs. The EDF seems to be a more powerful option, but I've read they don't like any sort of restriction and ideally the output stream of air will be about 10mm dia.
Any thoughts on how I could achieve this would be much appreciated. Also the whole package needs to be around 30mm tall!
Thanks.
Dan
