Blower fans
Has anybody tried using blower fans instead of radial fans? Seems like for motor cooling, we may have more mounting options when using a squirrel cage stile mini blower fan. These take air from the front and blow it out the side, instead of out the back like a radial fan... so you can mount them flat on the chassis, or up against a body without needing to cut a hole. I'm gonna experiment with these, but surely somebody else has tried. Would love to hear from anybody that has given this a go.
