    Real difference between: Standard, AEGIS grounding, Insulated Bearings, Ceramic Bearings?

    What are the practical benefits/drawbacks of each type of motor/fan combination? I know ceramic bearings are often considered "the best" but they are incredible expensive and have long lead times. This is for mechanical applications, from Air Handlers, Exhaust Fans and even some process...

    Best way to turn hot air into kinetic or electric energy

    So 100,000 BTU/hr isn't much, but what if this were multiplied by Qty (20), or even Qty. (100). This "project" has the possibility to pull 100,000 BTU/h times 100... perhaps several hundred in some cases.

    Best way to turn hot air into kinetic or electric energy

    Hi everyone and thank you ALL for your replies, it is really appreciated. As far as heat output, we are probably looking at 60,000-100,000 BTU/h coming out of a space approximately 3-4 sq. ft. Not exactly sure of the CFM of hot air as of yet. Thanks!

    Best way to turn hot air into kinetic or electric energy

    So I know that you can use energy recovery units (heat plate, heat pipe and energy recovery wheels) to reclaim the heat in air, but it only puts it back into the air (like in winter conditions). What if you wanted to turn the heat in air into kinetic or electric energy? Hot air turning fans...
