Electric clutch for mechanical fan?
I read that electric fans are less efficient at cooling than mechanical fans. Converting motion to electricity & back to motion again.
Has anyone with a mechanical fan thought about making an electric clutch instead of using the thermal clutch? It could use the same controls as a single speed electric fan.
I think you would want to use a light weight fan blade to control the weight & accelleration. I have never taken an AC pump apart to know how much the clutch wieghs, or if the clutch could handle the instant torque it will see.
What are your thoughts?
