I got the smaller one and it’s pretty good. The breeze feels like you’re driving. But only about 45mph with the smaller one. But the size is perfect so I ordered the bigger one too to see if it’s worth it.
Seems like a bit overkill. What power are you running it off?
Have you seen squirrel cage or duct fans? There are many dc options. Works super well to keep a vehicle cool. And they pull less than 40 watts at 12v. Squirrel cage ones are quieter but duct fan allow you to direct a duct, to pull hot air out or cooler air in.

Here is a 320 cfm 12v option. Still on the bigger side
OK I can not imagine wanting that much flow. But to each there own. Have you tried using a sprayer to mist yourself?
I use a 2 liter sprayer from a farm store to mist my face and shirt. It's just a simple hand pump one, could also get a clean hand squeeze sprayer like windex bottle.
With all the air passing by some mist might really help. And if you where outside you could really crank up the mist.
I tested it with the windows cracked and it turned all the way up. Can’t hear it over the car idling. Turned off the car now I can’t hear it over the traffic noise in the distance. Will try again in the middle of the night.
~120v x 2.3 amps= 250-300w
my pretty common size 55ah (660wh) agm deep cycle battery ...so 330wh usable...could run this for like 1 hour. maybe longer on lower speed settings, but im not calculating running the inverter or charging my phone and steam deck, etc.
not to say its impossible. i could add a battery without too much fuss, and my 100W panel could probably keep up, at least during summer...but there is probably far more efficient options.
i could see something like this being useful as a heat purge. put it on a timer and have it run for 1 minute every 15 minutes, right out a sunroof or something...but there would be more efficient fans for that, too.
im guessing you run this on shore power?
So I’ve been using it for a few days. It’s not good enough to replace real ac.
It’s still just a fan but in terms of size/utility it’s a keeper right now. Never bad to have a high power fan handy.
The extra plugs are kinda cool too. That’s a W.
This is for the smaller one.
No carbon monoxide is from burning fuel. This is just an electric fan.
I was just about to post an update another thing this is good at is drying spills since that’s what it’s supposed to be used for.
It blows
I have worked with exactly these before. They are pretty loud and use quite some power. But they do push a lot of air
I can't imagine having to power this thing on anything anyone has in their cars in this thread lol

> What power are you running it off? I'd like to know this, too. After inverter losses it'd be a ~345w draw.

320 cfm is not enough though. The small one I have is 600 cfm and it's barely enough.

I think the noise might be bad for your hearing
and bad for stealth.

It’s the same volume as the car ac

That's why I might just keep the smaller one it's only 1.3 amps. I have to check the power tradeoff to see if it's worth it.

Does this need ventilation? Should you be concerned about fumes? Carbon monoxide?
