Re: Cockpit Cooling Solved!

Would that be RW BTU's/ Hour or flywheel BTU's/ hour ? And what type of wood do you burn? High fiber maple or hard redwood? Hummmmm Maybe a blend of redwood and blasa. redwood for the high BTU content and balsa for weigh savings.

Hi Tony, Howard

Its actually a compressor fan for a gold mine. The shop next door rebuilds them. If you think the fan is big, you should have seen the crane that moved it!

Cheers

Ian
