Medic Zack Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 So I found a large squirrel cage fan at work.... But it might be a bit big to serve as a blower. What do y'all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Naw you can use it, just divert most of the air. I'm sure the neighbors would love you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 It could be used to run multiple forges all at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 @Daswulf, it’ll blow the neighbors halfway across the county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Good blower if you don't like your neighbors then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1forgeur Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I'd raise that door before you decide to try running it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 A 2 1/2” mainline in fog in front of that beast would nock down most brush fires. The Canadians have system of fans and misters to fog fuel in suppressing wild land fires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be interesting. The county fire guys use this one as a ventilation fan. They use that ply wood door on the side of the trailer to hook it directly into a building then pressurize the whole building to clear smoke. Pretty sure there would be nothing left standing of my shop if i were to try to crank that thing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 That little thing? The Moffat tunnel made to take coal trains under the Rockies in the 1920's had a blower with a motor you could WALK through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holder Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 That thing looks like it was made for de-smoking buildings or ventilating low oxygen spaces. But like the others said, if you use this for a forge, neighbor relationships are going to suffer badly. Being the curious kind, what is that blower used for?
