    Fantech wiring?

    Capacitor start motors have, wait for it.... capacitor. The brown wire you see is most likely just the capacitor for helping starting the motor. Leave it alone. The way it's wired up currently is correct. DO NOT PUT THE GROUND WIRE ON IT. If there's no metal housing and no ground connection...

    Help making a inline fan out of box fan

    The fan in the picture is rated for no static pressure. You'll burn the motor up within a couple of hours tops trying to use it to push or pull air through any kind of ducting or equipment. If you're in a tight spot financially check on CL or eBay for used/unwanted air handlers and get the...

    Question about fans and ductwork

    Unless it's in 10"-12" ducting, most likely yes. There's really no way to know for sure unless you measure supply and exhaust pressures. You're just shooting in the dark until you do.

    New Technology for grow room electricity?

    Interesting. DIY trickle charger. Shame he doesn't just leave it at that. His physics book must be missing the page that explains the law of conservation of energy. Or maybe he tore it out in disgust. Silly 9 figure data centers, they've got it all wrong using inverters and transformers on...

    Ozone generators to reduce smell? Anyone use them?

    At just a few Ppm(as in single digit)ozone will start to damage your chromosomes and seriously fuck your shit up. It breaks down and destroys just about everything via oxidization. You don't want to be anywhere near that shit without a ozone LEL alarm clipped onto you. Why some people generate...

    The Ultimate Odour Control Thread

    Be aware, before grilling, that most cylindrical carbon scrubbers have either screening or foam/fiber mesh between the expanded metal and the actual carbon itself to keep it in place. RC48 is just marketing crap for 4x8 mesh granular carbon. If you're looking for a good supplier of activated...

    A/C Q

    From an efficiency standpoint, sucking all the conditioned air out of your room and blowing it outside would make it very difficult for your air conditioner to keep up, there's also the possibility of backdrafting your living area as well. Recirculating the air through your house would be a lot...

    Beware of SMSCom products.

    Exactly. Fans will only perform as good as their operating environment allows them to. For example, take a can 8" max fan. It'll put out 667 cfm, that's assuming absolutely no static pressure. Add on a perfectly straight 30' run of 8" flex duct, just on one side of the fan, let's say the...

    Beware of SMSCom products.

    Air flows from high pressure to low pressure. If you have a specific route you need the air to flow, and/or you're having higher than desired intake pressures(negative) created that are hurting your fan and making it operate outside of its curve (air scrubbers, filters, or duct restrictions/head...

    Inline fan

    If it's just air for cooling your light, with the intake and exhaust not located in the grow area, blowing it in would be preferred. That way you won't have any issues with small leaks in the hood sucking in the smell and blowing it out the exhaust unfiltered. This is assuming you have a...

    USA move closer to equality in wages

    Wage rates will never keep up with consumerism. Or greed. It won't be long before you pull up to a drive through and somebody in another country is on the headset.

    Petroleum in Primary School; industrial strength ethics violation

    Industry=money, and the whole government is for sale. Unless citizens come up with a way to out-lobby industries, it won't change. I guess taxes aren't considered contributions, since they aren't really voluntary.

    Large Grow AC Help (50+ lights)

    Generally for doing a rough estimate, heat(btu) generated by most equipment is calculated at watts multiplied by 3.5-4.5. HID lighting and high resistance loads are on the high side of that figure. That gets added to other common factors as well, such as square footage, ceiling height...

    Steve scalise shot at baseball practice

    In other news, somewhere around 300 other people without police escorts and bodyguards were shot today as well in America. And tomorrow, and yesterday, and every day. Baseball practice? With a chicken nugget companies "government rep"? Can't they at least pretend that they were doing...

    Does A Carbon Filter Remove 100% Smell

    Sunlight Supply, which is Phresh, just buys complete assembled scrubbers dirt cheap in bulk from China, puts them in a cool box, and triples the price. Can't speak for CAN filters, they do seem a bit more legit than most. Generally the more they weigh, they better they work. Those CAN's are...
