It requires less than 1 horse power to make 320 watts? I am setting up a wind mill to run my shop off a car alternator. My shop has 12 flourescents and a small radio. Should run that off a 100 amp alternator, in a hurricane..
This in interesting, taken off this website:
3. Thou shall use an electric fan.
Rule of thumb. Only choose a mechanical fan over an electric fan if it’s your farm tractor. An electric fan is preferred because when you need a fan the most (at idle or cruising speeds) an electric fan is delivering maximum air independent of engine RPM’s. Fans that move 2000-2300 CFM’s are worth the investment. Preference should be given to a “pull” vs. a “push” fan. Mounted on the engine side of the radiator, a pull fan does not interfere with air flow at highway speeds. All shrouded fans should be on the engine side of the radiator.
