I don't want the motor driving the fan since most of the heat is produced at lower speeds when the current draw is highest. That would result in an ineffective fan.
The blower fan as-is works quite well and only consumes 16 watts (outputs 29CFM @ 12volts 1.35amps). It was temperature controlled originally, but I shorted that feature because it wasn't working as well as I wanted.
