J. Phil Thien's Projects

not even a clue what kind of cfm one of these pulls, but it's gotta be fairly significant if it is enough to blow air to an entire house through the central AC.  the blower itself is about 2ft square by about 10" depth...although it's in a housing closer to 3.5ft x 2.5ft x 2ft.

Would one of these big blowers suffice as a DC with proper modification (perhaps on top of one of Phil's wonderful can lids)?

You say that the DC pictured is "heavy", yet it appears to be mounted to the lid where it'd have to be lifted off the can to empty the can.  Am I seeing this correctly?  How "heavy" is heavy?  Ballpark the whole top assembly, with the DC & baffles & lid together?

When you say "good deal on decent blower".  What do you mean?

Would, say, the blower from a central-ac's evaporator (that pulls the air through the coils to cool it then distribute it to the house) be sufficient?  And how do I determine what the cfm of such a monster would be?
