Default RE: true DF thrust/ hp claims?

what-the,

Jeeeeeez!!! You are arguing with some of the MOST experienced D/F guys on the planet!!!

Thrust is a combination of volume and velocity. The larger fans trade velocity for volume. This is why you see larger thrust values for the larger fan units. Yes, a Byron fan produces more thrust (static) than a BVM Viojet but not nearly the velocity that the BVM fan unit produces. The Byro-Fan is moving more air (volume) but at a slower rate. (velocity) The BVM fan trades volume for velocity.

To get speed you MUST increase velocity while maintaining adequate volume. You keep quoting thrust figures---I can tell you that in the real world it doesn't work this way!!!

Go ahead and buy your Rossi 105. After you've beat your head on the concrete for several hours trying to get it to run, re-post here with your bruised head (along with the bruised ego) and tell us what you have found. You are trying to re-invent the wheel where several guys here have already "Been There and Done That"..... Also, go ahead and try to buy a hurricane fan. The last I heard they were no longer available. If these fan units were any good dont'cha think they would still be around.
