Project: PrometheusCu

[Langer]

In the spirit of the 'RealRedRaider forums' overkill style that I've come to love and appreciate I've decided to step up my fans, and with them my fan controller...

I emailed Sidewinders for a quote on the below just a few moments ago:
[edit]: I revised my order - swapped the AFB1212SHE fans for AFB1212GHE models instead (the difference between the two is 151.85 vs 240.96cfm)[/edit]

The thermal material and cleaner is for another unrelated project.

I was under the impression that high speed fans like that pretty much set fan controllers on fire lol, something about the voltages.

The Wattage is the problem, Dome Deltas can draw 48W a piece.
Most controllers offer under 12 watts per channel, so the bend is less than ideal.

The FC-2 controller can put out 48Watts, but I'm not convinced of it's abilities yet. I have a feeling that it's a POS and will make my fans trip out.

I have a plan B in the from of home-made fan control should the FC-2 let me down.

No, no, I simply meant it was back on. Nothing steamy about Langer's mods; just sexy CF and copper.

Bummer, I was hoping to see some friendly steampunk competition. Winner gets the princess and all that.

Sounds kinda like Mario to me lol.

Yeah Langer a custom fan controller sounds good, you could integrate a software program into it like Dan did in Dark Carbon.

Nah, more like the steampunk video that was in the video and links section a while back. I'd dig it up, but I'm too damn lazy.

I made a 'few' revisions to the part designs over the past week.
I've settled on the -absolute- FINAL design for this project.

I'll give you a taste below in the form of my Concept drawings, but you'll have to visualize the bends yourself... As for where these parts are going to be installed - you'll just have to wait and see if you can't already.

Black Lines = Cuts.
Dotted Lines = Bends.
Grey Lines = Rastering.

48" x 48" = 2mm copper plate

36"x 36" = 1mm 'Rigid' Aerospace Milspec Carbon

36"x 48" = 1.58mm 'Ultra Rigid' Aerospace Milspec Carbon

Comments are welcome as always. Pictures follow Wednesday.
