Chamber Fan ???

[Rob748]

Ok I tore apart a monitor and found two brushless motors. One is about a inch and a hafl wide and the other is 3 inches. The Smaller chamber fan went inside of the end cap. The 3 inch fan wouldnt fit even with extensive dremmeling, what and where is the biggest fan you can use in a 3 inch chamber ?

Thanks

Sometimes it may take a day or two to get responses to questions. No more double posting, be patient.

Also UTFSE and look for the answer yourself, you do own a ruler don't you?

The Pythagorean theorem, as learned in high school, will immediately tell you what fans are suitable for use in a 3" chamber, and which ones aren't.

Rob748, this isn't a chat room. You expected someone to respond within 29 minutes of your post?

As to the fan...

Do you really want the biggest fan that'll fit in the chamber?

A big fan will vent quicker than a small fan, but, a big fan will probably generate less turbulance during firing than a small fan.

Given that even a small fan will ventilate a standard size combustion gun in nothing flat why even try to jam a large fan in?

Does that stand for: "Use The Fkin Search Engine"?

Well, any fan just a bit smaller then the 3 inch one, ofcourse!
Just THINK!

That was my understanding as well.

I think confusion arises because PC fans are measured in LengthxWidth (sometimes depth too). A 3"x3" chamber fan will have a length from one corner to another of 4.24", thus not being suitable for a 3" dia. chamber.

Yes UTFSE stands for Use The Fucking Search Engine. Why not take the fan with you to the parts store and hold it up next to the PVC pipe?

Or use calipers. Most spudders can't live without em.
