SUMMARY:CaptiveAir Fan Fundamentals - From the Wright Brothers to Today (On-Demand)
DESCRIPTION:Know nothing about fans? Perfect! We’ll cover the most fundamental topics like pressure gradients and the fan laws to build your understanding of both Axial and Centrifugal fans. Don’t worry\, we make it fun with lots of demonstrations and animations\, while tying some of these concepts to the early days of aviation and even cows. Yes\, cows.\nFans excel at one simple job: moving air. Yet\, most people don’t really know how they do so\, and that’s ok! But if you’re not most people and want to learn about these neat machines\, you’re at the right place. \nPresenter Information\nBill Griffin\, President of Engineering and Manufacturing – CaptiveAire Systems\, Inc.
