I still need to find some references for unshrouded fan
design though.......
Any ideas or hints?

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.............
