- This is another find from the Lindale Mill. It is a 3 blade tube-axial fan with a cast aluminum impeller and all stainless trim. I have made a temporary setup to test-run it. This fan is mad powerful!
Anybody know what manufacturer it is from?
EDIT: I am building a project with this fan: • A Fan Called Overkill ...
I can just see Clarkson standing behind it, cheeks being blown wide, screaming "POWERRRRRR!!!!"
Austin Leeds NEED MORE POWERRR
He'd fix it with a hammer. XD
Thats his ground beef blade.
K I'll have a whiff.
UUUUNLIIMIITEEEED
*POOOOWWWEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR!!!!*
That looks safe.
Very safe :)
Definitely
A sawwed this boat in half
This is fine...
Don’t accidentally trip
Shhh. Quiet! Can you hear that? It's Linus Tech Tips calling in the distance! He wants his cooler back.
LOL
How did Linus fans get here LOL
Lol
XD
That would be a beast attic fan!
Yep.... assuming you don't mind your windows sucked in and broken LOL!
so our house was built with one that has equal power... still works from the 1970s and can suck doors closed from through the entire house. It is bigger in diameter but you have to have windows open
I was just thinking: I need this for my attic studio lool
More like a bathroom fan
That is one awesome fan.. Would like to hear it run without all that bearing noise!
That'll happen some day. :)
@@davida1hiwaaynet it’s been 3 years still no video lol
@@davida1hiwaaynet Fingers crossed :b
He did restore it. th-cam.com/video/_MPigZ_mpYI/w-d-xo.html
@@davida1hiwaaynet you should do it sometime
Looks like a bathroom vent fan I need.
Lol
For those extra smelly dumps.
@@pbjracing14yearsago49 Exactamundo! That and a wife who overreacts to the slightest smell.
Roll of toilet paper being sucked up through the fan, no if you think you need this you really need to change your diet lol
0:41 when you boot up a pc with an amd processor from 2006
lol
My laptop: finally...a worthy fan for my thermal issues...
Imagine slipping and falling towards this ! Scary.
Not good
Game over.
That's not good
WASTED
Liveleak death 💀
I can feel the wind out of my screen
Every 1 out of 10 peoples will Imagine their hand between those fan blades in their nightmares..
bet
I was just wondering if that there fan could kill a cougar...
True
Ahh so thats where my FX 9590 cooler went, good to know.
As a AMD FX user, this is true.
My FX cpu needs that
That's the one from Half- Life that always killed me 😂
Yes! That one.
title "Three-blade aluminum fan - Scary powerful!!!"
10 sec in the video, *this is a temporary enclosure, and the bearing is unfortunately in bad shape*
Imagine making a swamp cooler with that fan!!!!
This is what my kitchen needs when stewing in a pressure pot in a 100 degree weather
That fan looks like fans used in fire safety systems. Usually in high rises I work in, the stair cases have vent ducts in case smoke is ever inside the stair case, the fire system turns on and the entire building becomes negative pressure and smoke is taken out of the building. The elevators no longer function, they open at a set floor and stay open and everyone must evaluate through the staircase, that area must be smoke free.
It could certainly be used for a smoke extraction fan!
finally a fan to help my tinnitus
I want something like this in my house for summer
I am a big fan of big fans
With the outer ducting and the shape of the blades, that reminds me of the "muffin" fans used in industrial equipment and computers ... other than the fact that it's GINORMOUS
Wonder how that impeller would polish out? Polished a set of vintage drive in speakers to chrome shiny... shiny is fun.
This fan is well engineered and the size + power inputted is nearly enough to push things (like plane), that's why he moves
0:42 my pc: finally, a worty opponent!, out battle will be legendary!
There were fans like this in VOA’s old CEMCO transmitters in Greenville,NC. Each transmitter had two of these blowers-15hp each. Cooled the heat exchangers for the tubes,RF coils and vacuum variable caps. Was scary starting the fans.The transmitters that used those are scrapped now. The newer transmitters use smaller fans for cooling-more efficient. The older transmitters dated to 1948-250/500kw short wave.
Wow, I wish I could have seen that equipment before it was scrapped
@@BGTech1 was sort of sad seeing these old transmitters being hauled away on the junk wagon. Took the wagon several trips to haul away-open flat bed semi trailer. Was hoping the transmitters could have gone to a radio museum.
This is what I need when I go to sleep
Finally something that can cool an overclocked pentium!
Just wanted to say that I'm a big fan
Me at 3 am : Intresting
when you turned it on, air started blowing on me from my screen.
the one I got was made by sheldons engineering in cambridge ontario canada it was from one of the CNE buildings in Toronto , made around the 30s , yours looks very similar and there would be a scripted S around the hub somewhere
Thanks, I will search for that S logo. There is still some crud in the hub area obscuring the surface.
Someone else said it may be a Kaiser.
It's just fan-tastic 🤣 the BEST up cycling I've ever seen!! Dyson fan's have nothing on this device but may NEED some warning stickers 😶?
Looks like a ventilation fan for a big shop
Jesus! , dont let any small children in there.
This, as small children in the fan might through the balance out and break the fan.
@@JaakkoF exactly
But they're better diced
My laptop cooler when i try to run Cyberpunk 2077:
I've never wanted to throw a tomato at something so badly before.
Imagine if you had that in your room
MOM! I'M TURNING MY WINDOW FAN ON NOW! .. ok hun.. lol
Restore it!
Probably replace the bearings, and build a base for it. I have too many fans, and probably will fix this one and try to find someone who will want to use it.
They are used in cotton gins bearings are available through commercial AG suppliers .
Considering the looks, seems pretty stable.
Did you ever find out who makes this fan? That’s the weirdest blade design I may have ever seen. Aluminum and also made in one cast? So awesomely bizarre.
Hey, yes I did! It is made by Westinghouse-Sturtevant. They call it an Axi-Flo Pressure Fan. See this:
www.afcaforum.com/view_topic.php?id=48879&forum_id=5&jump_to=434685#p434685
Thank you!
I think those type of fans are used in computer severs. The 1U severs, 1 rack unit is 1.75" high. The severs are 19" wide, 2 -3' deep but only 1.75" high. So the height and width of the fan is quite small, but they are somewhat long, along the direction of the air flow, 2 to 3 inches long. The tiny fans move a lot of air, but they make a lot of noise!
Omg I love this motor whine starting
That's a side effect of using VFDs
Also, you should hook up your most power three-phase motor up to that fan and watch it roar.
Something like the Brook 10 HP motor at 3600 RPM........
Good idea... Sounds dangerous enough to be lots of fun! :)
HAHA! You should probably open your garage before doing that. You don't want that fan replacing your garage by itself, do you!? *evil laugh*
The fan is from a power transformer, the very large ones found in power stations, they sit on top and keep them cool, :0)
It kind of looks like an older version of fans that you see in the top of Tunnels that you drive through.
It's probably similar in design to those tunnel fans!
Good for ceiling fan in a bedroom with that condition
More people need to see this
Thanks for switch it off 😌
I'm a fan of this video
Nice fan
Looks like a engine room blower for a boat. Boats usually have two of these blowers pushing air into the engine room there mounted in vent stacks. I have never seen one with a single phase motor. This one has way to small a motor should be 5-7 hp 3 phase induction motor. Believe me it moves a lot more air than that with the right motor. I couldn’t tell you who made it.
Good. fit some grills n guard for safety it's working good here it's find in big halls for air exuast big kitchens in hotels
Still nothing compared to Ship Engine Room Ventilation Fans. These Things have 100+ kW Motors mounted right into the Shaft so they are driving the Fan directly without a Belt. And there are four on the rather small Container Ship I used to work on.
He knows what has to be done.
It's a fan for a spray booth, a booth where they paint cars etc
I know I'm 3 years late to the party
Imagine running into it by accident.
ur ded
It looks like the radioactive warning sign
That looks safe but dangerous,
It need a safety cage
nice motor connection
Is that a bow thruster from a yacht?
That's terrifying
Yes, it is quite intimidating!
the fan is moving forward by its self
Awesome machine!! I have a question: Why are some fans belt driven, yet others are direct drive? I could understand if the pulleys were different sizes to achieve different ratios, but the ones on this fan seem to be roughly the same size.
I'm guessing belt drive is for low rpm applications and also when you don't have room for a direct drive, direct is for high rpm and for small fans like box fans or common fans.
Launching cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 be like
There’s 2 settings plane turbine and off so deal with it!
Must be a huge Metal fan.
Perfect for PC!
I need one of these about 2 feet away from my bed........
I suddenly have the urge to throw my big glass ashtray in there.
that fan is begging for someone to throw a pineapple at it.
That’s a big carrot chopper lol 😂
Absolutely safe to use, and safe for children. I want to order now.
Are you sure it is not submarine propeller?
Woahh..it will be great in diy spray booth..
Amazing giant fan!!
What song were you listening to in the background? It sounds like a Miami Vice theme song.
I think it was "Save Me a Place - Bridge & Mountain Remix" by Mono Mind. It was on the XM radio BPM channel. Didn't intend to have the radio on but forgot to turn it off! :)
I bet that would keep a cpu cool
Superb
Im a big fan
The blades kinda resemble those of an American Coolair fan I installed in a greenhouse, the fan I installed is damn near silent, you can hardly hear it running, best part? I got two! for free! I happen to have connections, they came from a now demolished school, the one I installed has an older Marathon motor, by older I mean 90s most likely, the other has a freshly rebuilt Century motor that was only run for 6 months, they are identical in every way besides the motor, tested both and I'm keeping the Century motor nice and unused until I can install it as an attic fan, the Marathon motor fan is already used so running in a greenhouse for 5 years isn't so much of a big deal, I say 5 years because when my grandma moves elsewhere in 5 years I'm taking that fan down and either putting the dead Dayton back up or I might keep that as well since all it needs is a motor rebuild, the greenhouse is probably gonna be torn down by the next owners
Where did you get that from I would get that for the patio at my house but my dad would probably not let me because I am obsessed and it might be too dangerous unless it had working safety guards on it
Hi, it came from a historical site in Lindale, Georgia called The Lindale Mill.
make a good exhaust fan for a mining farm or data center type applications
My computer fan midnight:
Hi mr guy who owns big powerful big huge fan, what would happen if i jumped into the fan while it spins full speed?
What's with the ghosting effect of the back wall and maybe that garbage can as the fan speeds up and slows down. First example @ 0:49
Putting lube in the bearings instead of replacing it. 😂😂 A real Expert here
the bearing cost more than recycling the aluminum 😂
@@FSXgta thats a lie 🤣 5€ for the bearing
When trying to make a condition assessment of something like this, it's a good idea to do whatever is going to get it working, temporarily; to determine if there are other problems not detectable without some run-time. A "real expert" would be the man who doesn't even try to get it working and gives up without any effort.
Good luck getting bearings for 5€. It's very hard to know the cost without knowing the size and spec on the bearing, as well. If I remember the bearings weren't that expensive; probably around $25USD each.
Here's a video where it is running with new bearings and new non-bent shaft as well. th-cam.com/video/_MPigZ_mpYI/w-d-xo.html
That’s a HVAC in duct fan. It would have had vanes in front of it to regulate the air flow as needed.
A man got sucked into one of these, there’s a video of it on YT. Extremely dangerous
Fan-tastic!
I've got a little attic fan more aggressive than that... LOL
Three-bladed aluminium fan - Scarily powerful!
It's a cooling tower fan
You are right, those bearings are rough!!
They were awful; and the shaft was bent. Both the shaft and the bearings got replaced.
@@davida1hiwaaynet :-)
Sounds kind of like a turboprop plane when it’s running.
Enough to cool a computer
They say that if you wanna be a pirate you gotta jam your hand in this fan and then they replace it with a hook.
That would be a mess!
@@davida1hiwaaynet A small price to pay for salvation.
Looks like bow thruster to me without water bearings.
Imagine ZTE selling Blade series, fan edition.
This sounds like giant motors that propel roller coaster trains while taxiing to station and other sections. Why do large motors like this have that high pitched wine when starting up?
Perfect fan to cool down my shitty pc
