I still need to find some references for unshrouded fan design though....... Any ideas or hints? Thomas Jakits I talked to Bernie for a while tonight, and thought of one problem with any design that requires a shroud, or fan larger than about 22" in diameter. I want to be able to roll this thing in and out of my garage without having to disassemble it. One of the first things I did was to take off the 3-blade prop, and put on a 2-blade for that very reason (and the fact that the Warp Drive prop looked like it had eaten an entire cylinder). I'm pretty skeptical that I'll do better than a belt drive with a two blade prop. Thanks, Rusty Well, I guess that is the end of the Fan-Slingshot. I doubt you would get away witha 2-bladed fan. You need to raise your house or lower the garage floor.............
