Does anyone know what 150mph equates to in lbs of thrust?
depends how much power you have
a normal ducted fan needs around 5 horsepower to put out 12 lb. thrust and 150 mph tail pipe velocity. most hand held blowers have around 1-1.5 HP at the most so no matter how much velocity they have the thrust is going to be all but useless.
