    “Stoner – Member
    I know, but not sure how much torque that little motor has or where to get the blades from. Might try and make my own, but I dont have any thin ally sheet. That was all I could find on eBay at the time”

    Use cardboard (or similar), oversize blades then trim down. Now I’m not saying that’s how things are done in the rotating parts industry but it’s a similar concept.

    mt – good thinking there. Next time I have a burn on, I’ll have a go.

    Any links to some decent stove fans, seen a few on ebay but not sure which to try?

    Thanks

    Here for props

    What size is on there now Stoner?
    ## Edit##
    Just watched the video on page 1 😳
    I would suggest trying a larger diameter one of similar pitch. I think you will get get better results by far with improved cooling of the upper heatsink. You may then wish to play with pitch to optimize.
    Hard to tell from the video but I think you might be able to go increase diameter as much as 2 inches.
