Mike, You would need at least a 2KW inverter or more to start that 1 HP motor, and at least 1 KW to run it. The dimmer will make it not work at all. Motors...
Dear Tom Starter motors should make an excellent SHORT TERM drive motor for a high performance fan. Usually, they are "series wound" motors, which have a very...
Jim, The two I have in my workshop are ebmpapst model RG128. They definitely have a plastic impeller. Ken ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Tom, Kevin, Starter motors are rated something around 750W for 30 seconds, that's over 60A at 12V. It would have to be a very substantial rheostat to cope...
Gene, It's a brush style motor.. It can and will work. Maybe not to peak output but you'll get close starting it with a dimmer and ramping it up to speed....
Kevin/list; Thanks Kevin. I have some starters off from imports or off from Briggs and Straton engines that would be compact. I had kind of ignored starters...
Thanks Ken, This thread has brought out some interesting points. At some point I do want a "good" vacuum source that runs off from 12 volts. I hope that the...
TomC, On Johan's Volvo the blower was salvaged from an old vehicle - when they still made the impellers from metal. I remember seeing it in the video. When...
Stephen, Those little dc motors do 18,000 rpm. You would not need such a large rotor. Think domestic vacuum cleaner - impeller is high speed but only 4 or 5" ...

Brian, I've never found one I couldn't get running. EVEN STUCK they still run after a little cleaning and oiling. I took a quick count today and spotted at...
Hi, Ken! Wartime fans in Finland were usually 120 Watts 20 A for 6 Volt systems and 10 A for 12 Volt systems. The chunky fuel gives a flame about 1 yard, so it...
Max, We have no WW2 type gasifier fans here and ejectors are cheap... We've put a proper fan on the GEK and it made good gas. We did however lose the...
Max; That is what I am talking about. I have seen on the net videos of these WWII cars/trucks and they use a fan for start up that works very well. Why over...
