The fans that are in air handlers from central AC's make good shop fans (squirrel cage) and can be found all over . I have two in my shop one blowing in and one out . I can weld inside with both going. I enjoy finding places in my shop for the different things people throw out . I got a old house kw meter and hooked it on the middle ground leg (in series with ground wire)_. If I have both sides of the 120 loaded the same the meter stops spinning, if ether leg is pulling more current the meter will spin one way or the other . ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Dymaxion" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 2:04 PM Subject: Fan for EV Garage
