If i put the fan completly in the back, does it have any use then? I can imagine that a fan in mid-chamber mixes more effectively..

thanks for your answer and thanks for the scheme :)
my first real comb spud was planned to have a 1:1 ratio

I dont know the answer but i think chamber fans dont get damaged by the combustion, they just get warm. (correct me if im wrong)

I would like to add aswell:
What if the fan SPARKS inside!? Ehhh BOOM?

yup, it gives an orange flash and the bottle gets very warm

the flames last for a very short time and arent really bright, it are more darker orange flames
