  2. Re-purposing radiator fans - electronic help

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    Need a little electronic thinking help to make sure I have this thought out correctly. 
     
    I'm taking the radiator fans from my r6 that I removed and building them into a work table.  Ideally I'd like to run them off my inverter/generator.  
     
    I can't find the exact specs on the fans, but the fuse rating for them is 15A per fan, x 12V would be ~180W/fan, ~360W total. 
     
    Where I'm stuck right now is figuring out how to get these to run off my generator.  Could I use something like this (eBay link), or would I need an inverter?  The only problem I have is I can't find an inverter that takes a 120V input and outputs to 12V. 
     
    Or, an alternate easy solution would be to re-use a spare LiIon motorcycle battery I have lying around and just keep battery plugged in with it's charger adapter. 
     
    I know this is an oddball project and there are easier ways I'm just trying to see if this can work as a fun side project.

    Okay, everyone can calm down. Mike is all good, and my stuff arrived today.

    Just assume Nathan is recruiting umbrella girls and filming AMA bike builds.

    It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

    I was rolling around the upper and lower paddock looking for you guys not knowing what anybody looks like.  I went down to the lower paddock and some dude waved, I thought it was one of you fools so I stopped.  I said "Kevin, or Keith Stone?"  "Who?" "Nevermind, just checking out the scenery."

  20. No Tv Coverage Of Ama Pro At Laguna Seca This Weekend

    in Daily Ride

    Posted

    Mid Ohio actually lost money on Superbikes this year due to low turn out. Down 70% easily.

    The North campgrounds that normally house the motorhomes, empty. The Family campgrounds that is usually 75% full was about 10% full. The main campgrounds which is normally packed was about 25%. The last total I heard was 200 camping passes sold. Word was cutting back tv to boost attendance. I don't see that working well and I see major sponsors leaving. DMG deff needs gone and it would be really nice if Honda came back. It's was a huge hit when Honda pulled out.

     

    Actually DMG/France are the ones keeping the series afloat.  There are a few heads of the current AMA Pro Road Racing org. that need to go.
