natkova Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Well I Didnt get much help from my fan so I converted it in forge blower Maybe it help someone . It's just old car squirl cage attached to fan. Will it work probably, will I use it in future Ian not sure. VID_20240802_105500.mp4 Got inspired by this video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 It'd work better and be less noisy if you got the blower fan on straight, Nat. A tip to the gang wanting to boot strap equipment and tools is watching smithing videos from the 3rd world where they have to make do for everything. They're also an excellent demonstration of something I've been saying for years. It is the Blacksmith, NOT the tools that does the work. Without the clever primate with the big brain and thumbs the "best" equipment or tools on Earth are just refined dirt slowly reverting to their lowest energy state. (Rust) Thanks for the video Nat, it's a good use of what's available. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Interesting ideas and concepts. Gets you thinking of different ways of making things work. Your squirrel cage blower opening would need reduced and then you would have see if it produced enough volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I have electric blower and bellows this was just my experiment and my old fan annoyed me because housing for dan was bad and tried this to see how it fiddle . tied vire to it and fan was moved a little bit up and fastened with wire it get less vibration . Daswulf Well yeah it need reduction for sure but this air is what forge need because of design of squid cage blades , they are shaped so they give less pressure and more air. Only parts that were removed from actual fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 How does it blast a fire? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natkova Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 I think food for charcoal not hard too much VID_20240804_131402.mp4 VID_20240804_131402.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Looks like more than enough. It's easier to reduce too much blast than make more than your blower has to offer. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 With that many fire fleas, I would probably reduce the blast by about half. That much blast would work well for coal though. If the video is coal ya too much air. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natkova Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 I made it just to help others , i dont have any need to use it since it need more adjsuting, i have 2 ways on how to deliver air to forge. Hope this gave someone idea. It was just experiment, but it can lighten fire and make it hot to very nice temprature for forging , and can be used as forge blower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
