So where is this fan placed? In side the gun? If so wont the "fire" screw it up?

A fan inside the chamber has been shown to increase performance by up to 30%. It also helps in venting the chamber after a shot. The "fire" won't screw it up because the heat in the chamber doesn't stay there long enough to heat the fan up to its melting point.

So how does this all work, is there some pic's on how to make one with a propane injected gun? I only have made the hair spray type with the screaw on cap....Thanks alot

Yes, you should find it right here if you want to be spoonfedMS-310 wrote:So how does this all work, is there some pic's on how to make one with a propane injected gun? I only have made the hair spray type with the screaw on cap....Thanks alot

I own the fan you're all talking about. If you still have measurement questions I'm sure I can answer them.
BTW psycix, he has a lot of general questions, look at his rank and post count. I'm sure all of us have asked these questions at one point or another.

hey rcman is fan any good? is it good venting and mixing? and wont break on you.

The fan is just as good as a regular size fan with the exception of its size and flow rate. It is kinda easy to go over the specified limit but I think it would be fine on a nine volt. Plus it has a 90 day guarentee. (not sure if obliteration via potato cannon counts though. 
)

oh yeah witch way do i put it the side with the radioshack logo?

It doesn't matter really. Just know that the side with the radio shack logo sucks air while the other side blows it.

Look closely at the fan, I'm sure it is marked which way the air flows. Usually, on the outside there is an arrow cast into the plastic.elitesniper wrote:oh yeah witch way do i put it the side with the radioshack logo?

Or just connect it to some power to find out what way it blows.jimmy101 wrote:Look closely at the fan, I'm sure it is marked which way the air flows. Usually, on the outside there is an arrow cast into the plastic.elitesniper wrote:oh yeah witch way do i put it the side with the radioshack logo?

That, lol, is probably the smartest and fastest way to find out. however I would be careful on how much power is used on the fan. It's really easy to blow micro solid state fans.

Just check the description on the fan to make sure.

Really how hard is it to figure this stuff out??? The fan, most likely on the motor will say how many volts, 
and come on does it need to blow in reverse to suck out the air after I fired it...really?? I guess the saying is right there is nothing common about common sense.

I have found CPUs fans work well in small 2 or three inch chambers. You'll have file down the corners. With the type of plastic the use for the case its pretty easy.
Once mounted inside the chamber I mounted a pressure switch on the grip so I could press it right before I pulled the trigger. It works almost every time. (I mine with duct tape and made it a tight fit. Doesn't take much)
I let the fan after every shot for a few seconds with the trap open to clear out the exhaust. Then I let the fan run when I introduce the fuel into the chamber.I also let the fan run right before each shot. Some time during the combustion.
It might be me, but I think leaving the fan going during combustion actually improve muzzle velocities. At least I get better distances when I do
