Engine Compartment Blower

[marcair]

Just mess'in around with some extra styrofoam and glass from a surfboard repair job. Formed a duct. A 4 inch air blower used for marine applications draws the air. Found an adjustible thermostat to power the blower. It's set so that normally after shutdown, the engine compartment heats up and turns on the blower. Note that there are no bolt holes as the system is attached with super magnets to the access panel.

for those who have not played with fiberglass, after the styro is shaped and the glass applied, just pour gasoline on the styro and it disolves.

Bringing back an old thread...
Wow! You could seriously sell those (I would buy it:D!!!) Looks Porsche 911 factory good! I will see if I can even make mine close to as nice as that!
It gives me good motivation!:)
Do you have any more information about the thermostat? Are you talking a typical household thermostat? Where do you have it mounted? Pics???
Thanks!

Those super magnets are great!
On the body kit too, right marcair?
I use them all over on my teardrop camper.

I've got magnets all over the house too. Very large ones hang down between the walls. With mating magnets adhered to the back of artwork, tapestry, etc, there are no holes in the walls and the items can be moved easily.
