Well I just messed about today , cleaning the shop .
Decided I am going make an extraction hood for the forge ,so I dug out this heating fan from the loft .

It shifts a fare old bit of air , only thing is the motor is in the wrong place for my needs . So I removed the motor ,stripped the motor and swapped the field coils around
so the motor would spin in the opposite direction ,and mounted the motor on the other side of the fan case .

Being on the outside with little air flow for cooling I ran it for a couple of hours to see if it would overheat ,its was fine peak temp was 65c , time to come up with a hood design .
