I haven't read Paul's book but if this is an example of his suggestions, I w=
ouldn't have much confidence in it. =20

Two basic rules of thumb for A/C cooling systems are:

1. Turning high speed air is hard to do and loss prone energy wise.

2.   The pressure represented by convection of rising hot air is not signifi=
cant  and can safely be ignored for our purposes.  =20
