[@interestingcan]

Aerospace engineering nerd here and a propulsion SME, deeply appreciate the Schlieren photography. This is used extensively in aviation, especially in higher mach flow to observe compression gradients, shock waves, and expansion waves in the flow. Anyways, I can guarantee that the airflow is going to be turbulent, not laminar. But turbulent flow is better for cooling across a heatsink anyways. But this is great, your lit search on the fan tech was amazing to see as an academic!!! That's always the first step lol. Fan tech can get crazy and I absolutely appreciate this case and the testing you have done.

[@iCounterProductive]

I know I might just be able to search for this but was hoping you could elaborate on why turbulent flow is better for cooling heat sinks.

[@interestingcan]

@iCounterProductive great question! So basically fluid cooling has a convection coefficient (natural and forced, natural is no fan or something moving the fluid around), essentially how much energy can be removed for the flow conditions and area. Laminar flow is smooth, so essentially the heat can get trapped in boundary layer and maybe a bit of the freestream flow. Because of this the heat stays more local and drive the coefficient down. Turbulent flow, being more energetic, has eddies and swirls and all that stuff in it so it naturally mixes as it moves across a head spreader. This mixing allows for the heat to be pulled away more easily. In addition, since laminar flow is smooth and straight residence time of the fluid on the heat spreader is at a minimum while turbulent flow has the eddies and swirling the residence time on the heat spreader is just ever so slightly greater since some flow can swirl back onto it.

[@MaxwellTornado]

@@interestingcan That's a lot of run-on sentences.

[@ur_pore]

@@MaxwellTornado hey hey hey, he was very clear he is a true academic.

[@omegaprime516]

Basically turbulent airflow is slower and therefore has more time to absorb heat from the fin stack before being ejected. Turbulent air is good in a heatsink, but not great for case fans. Case fans need to move columns of air inside the case quickly so turbulent air doesn't stay in the case so long. If you have bad cable management, this will drive up temps due to the inability to replace hot air with cooler air. Without turbulent air in heatsinks, you would have higher cfm but lower heat rejection. This is also why modern heat pipes have textures inside. It allows the liquid to absorb more heat by staying longer on that surface, and also increases the surface area 3 dimensionally which helps absorbing heat. I'm sure there is math that can tell us the optimal time something should remain on a surface, but I don't know it. This is an oversimplified explanation fyi.

[@berated4541]

As an HVAC technician I have learned a few things over the years about airflow and the contraptions that move them. Cross-flow fans are designed to operate with little to no static pressure (under .5 in. W.C.) and when you do use them in a high static pressure scenarios they A, significantly reduce the amount of air they are able to move due to the vortices created from the back pressure, and B, the motors burn up prematurely due to high amp draw, created by the static pressure. Also the maintenance to clean these is far more tedious, and balancing can become a nightmare. Axial fans are nice because they can be “customized” from low to high static by changing the shape, pitch, width, and thickness of the blades. Squirrel cage fans are for use in medium to high static pressure, and is the most efficient of the the 3 in regards to moving a given volume of air.

[@802Garage]

Sizing the motor appropriately for a more constrained flow situation would mitigate the issue of burning the motors up though, no? They would only burn up because they are under rated for the use case.

[@cheyannei5983]

Dust landing on the blades also impacts balance. It's possible to make them better but soooo many of them are just designed to be as cheap as possible. This one looks so much nicer than any of them I've seen.

[@cheyannei5983]

I wonder if some more ducting would help this fan/case specifically

[@GGigabiteM]

​@@802Garage No, it wouldn't. HVAC motors usually rely on the airflow they themselves create to cool themselves. Installing a larger motor to theoretically handle a higher load doesn't work when the motor still can't cool itself from restricted airflow, it will just burn up faster. More current equals more heat. That's not even accounting for the ridiculous cost of up sizing a motor, larger motors get expensive quick, and you need all of the heavier duty support equipment for them. Larger wires, larger contactors, bigger breakers and more electricity use. If the motor is subject to fault conditions of heavy restrictions, it needs circuitry to monitor it and shut it off if excessive current draw is detected.

[@802Garage]

@@GGigabiteM I think the term larger may be doing too much work here. A motor designed for slightly higher torque, but not necessarily much larger, would not require significantly more current to work without overheating, and obviously the cooling design would have to be taken into account as well. If it was impossible, every type of fan would burn up when obstruction was introduced.

I love using radial and tangential blowers in my self-built electrics devices.. don't really understand why they are not more common in PC cases. You can so easily get a broad uniform blanket of wind with only a single motor and thus a single noise source. Glad to see that at least one designer dared to build something different..

[@jack_irl]

i guess since the case and fan are purpose built to go with eachother this kind of tech and customisation would need a shift in the market for existing cooling companies to invest in new tech rather than trying to improve existing fan technology that can be paired with most common cases on the market? just my guess but yeah really cool to see stuff like this.

[@cosmic_cupcake]

the motor isn't the source of the noise, the fan blades are. And my hunch is that axial fans are generally more efficient and therefore quieter than tangential blowers, though I don't have any data to back this up.

[@talon262]

Vornado makes a cross-flow window fan called the Transom; I bought one off Amazon a few months ago to dump excess heat from my upstairs bedroom during cool/cold weather (my server/network "closet" is in there). Even on high, it doesn't move a huge volume of air given its size (its about 7" x 26" x 5"), but it's just fine for a low-profile fan you can just keep in the window and let it run for weeks/months at a time; they even have an Alexa-enabled version..

[@adriankoch964]

Profit margin off those cheap case fans is some of the highest of the PC hardware industry. That's why everyone who sells cases also sells their own brand of PC fans - they likely make more profit on the fans than the case (that's likely made by the same OEM as your rivals). Plus cases never come with enough fans so, go get some matching ones. It'd be incredibly risky for an established player to push for this an risk to kill their golden goose.

But are you in for $350+? The small-form-factor DIY market has proven price-insensitive, and there's no way to make a from-scratch case design cheap, especially with small initial production volume.

[@lordmoose213]

That is the first case ive seen in a while that i would genuinely consider to be incredible looking

[@lucasweimanguitar7008]

$360 for a case? I'm not a fan

[@Slugbunny]

Same. But it's basically an artisanal piece, so no wonder.

[@su1cidity]

@@Slugbunny Woosh.

Really refreshing to see innovation in something again. Hope to see more from this person.

[@brofenix]

@2:46 wait, you didn't steal the designer's product and then sell it in an auction? Pssssh. Not even a real tech reviewer, shame shame :P

[@omegaprime516]

Nice linus tech tips shout out.

[@CaffeinatedHiFi]

This is an engineering nerd's passion project. This is freaking cool. You can really tell they had fun designing it.

[@af099]

the new cinematography techniques being used definitely add some fun character to this channel

[@corviraptor]

The schlieren imaging is super appreciated, in addition to the animations. This is a fantastic video and another example of why I always come back to this channel.

Crossflow fans are used heavily for high air pressure situations, for examples: air curtain for refregiration storage, HVAC air mover, data center exterior air intake, and many other use. The down side is they generally vibrates a bit more noticable than axial fans, aside that noise is a bit loud. When I was working in OCZ I had this case design with two on these as intakes on both sides so it would just bruteforce all components with high speed high pressure airflow with front pannel area will also start to and called it Raptor(F-22) but didnt go much further than prototype. It's very refreshing to see it making a come back. Motor initiate power usage will need a lot of tinking, and starting torque/vibration will need dedicated damper machanism or a soft start. And no, please do not put LED/ARGB on these. XD in any case, good video as always.

Your testing is so thorough, complex and insightful. You guys should be proud!

[@darthnihilus1608]

Man you guys are just the best! Always out-doing yourself. Schlieren-imaging, your chamber, and now animations?! Can't wait to see where you guys are going next

[@DctrGizmo]

The animations for the air movement through the fans were so cool! I'm looking forward to more of these!

[@bmrs8424]

photography and editing work in this video is top notch

[@Bratfalken]

My coupé heather from the 1970ths that never fails has this kind of fan. Now it is an 240 volt heather with an selector for 0, 500, 800, 1200, and 2000 Watts. Very useful when it get's down to -35C in the winter.

[@854Daryl]

I really miss the case reviews. This one mostly focused on the novel use of a fan, but I was glad to see any type of case review.

[@onedayatatime723]

Your channel is one of my all time favourites, loving the content lately.

[@kanezhang5813]

haha love the jayztwocents reference. glad you kept it in captain!
