<VV> cooling fan history / thoughts

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Matt,
    If you can make 6 hp by using only 40 amps at 12  volts, there are a lot 
of companies that will buy your invention!  40 amps  at 12 volts is equivalent 
to less than ONE hp unless you have an electric motor  that operates well 
over 100% efficiency.  If you do, send it to me and  we'll get a patent on 
it.<GGGG>
    I'll even pay the freight charge!
    Regards,
    Frank "ever hopeful" Burkhard

AHH,,  now we do think alike!!  Good thing we don't LOOK alike!!! ggg

I  feel a newer  smaller  Starter motor from a small 4 cyl. engine,  without 
the snout ,  must make 6-8 hp to crank the engine when  hot.... and super 
cheap in wrecking yards for the "Test"....maybe only  25-40  amps in a system 
running the early HD  fan  and a  speed just adequate  for THAT engines 
maximum cooling  needs...

Maybe one of those geared Super Starters?

Just find the  right sized pulley

A 60 amp Alternator and a group 27 ? [ new  designation??]  would possibly be 
adequate..
