    Are electric fans worth it?

    Have you seen the amount engines move in an engine bay? I have and I have seen the carnage done to radiators by fans mounted to close to the radiator. I know the shroud does give better flow to any type of fan. The shroud allows the fan to affect a greater disk of air effectively increasing...

    Are electric fans worth it?

    This is correct. most likely that number is at 0 inchs H20 presure a very Ideal state of being. with more realistic .3 to .4 inches of H20 presure flow would more likely be around 1800-1500 cfm

    brake light problem

    I had a simular problem, there is a yellow box in the rear driver side, it is the blown lamp sensing circuit. They can fail. If you open it up you will problably find a burnt trace. I just go a junkyard replacement. There is a way to repair it also.

    Are electric fans worth it?

    The stock mechanical fan does move more air than most electrical fans. However there is a reason this must be. An electrical fan can be mounted right next to the radiator with very little clearance between shroud and blade and blade and core without fear of damage to the radiator. The mechanical...

    Are electric fans worth it?

    My freind has several cars with electric fans and he lives in Tucson AZ where it has gotten to around 46 C. A properly sized electric fan will cool just as good as a belt or hydro fan will there isn't any magic to it..

    Are electric fans worth it?

    I have run a flexalite dual fan for about four years now without a hickup. longhauls , shorthauls fasthauls:naughty: never had a problem in and out of traffic. I think if your car overheats and the fans are working then something is wrong ie clogged cooling system. junk on the outside of the...

    IVE GOT A GREAT IDEA!!

    Not really most racing bodies now require lexan and specifically forbid glass windows. They have found them preferable to glass ie safer. Tempered glass was better than non tempered , but it suffers from not keeping you inside the car. I see way more fatalities on the road from ejection than...

    Water as a fuel??? Watch this....

    The water is really not the fuel in this system. A battery or some other source of electricity breaks down the water to form this gas. The gas is then used for cutting metal or could be burned in gas engine. the added complexity and inefficency of the conversion and then burn process would make...

    Water as a fuel??? Watch this....

    Always remember there is never any free lunch. The welding device uses electricity to break down water to from hydrogen and oxygen gas. the gasses are recombined by burning them. The amount of energy used to break down the water is greater than is regained in the process of burning it due to the...

    IVE GOT A GREAT IDEA!!

    Cannot see why that would be Lexan is 250 time stronger than glass. Properly prepared it will not yellow and is actually being used on new cars today; right now in sunroofs. Lexan is used on fighter planes(canopy must survive 600 mph impact with chicken) and is used in One inch thick bullet...
