I lve doing shhht lke ths. Testing fan or lke different fan blades on different fan motors

[@Alex-ft1df]

Still a cool fan.

Blade number and pitch have to be matched to the HP of the motor at a given RPM. at 1050RPM, 4 blades at 23 degrees needs a 1/15HP motor and 4 blades at 27 degrees needs 1/10, ect. Lau has these figures in one of their catalogs.

[@diyintrovert961]

I'm way ahead of you on that one. As stated in the description, I already did an off-camera test for compatibility between the propeller & the motor, & even after the video completion, I touched the motor & it didn't get as hot as I imagined, so apparently the motor has more than enough hp for the propeller. Additionally, I have a brand new motor with 1/10 hp spinning at 1050 rpm, so that motor is also definitely compatible with the propeller.

Isn't that kinda dangerous? What if it falls on you when you're near it. Where's it's cover at?.

[@diyintrovert961]

Not really dangerous. This is just for testing purposes.
