carguy, I like your suggestions, makes a lot of sense, especially the water bit, thanks.
Wish they would let me put up a nine foot fence, my six footer just taint high enough!
Yep static is up there as one of my worries, I’m gonne stay away from a belt drive for that reason, and stick with a direct drive fan. Also I’ll drive a ground rod and pay special attention to grounding straps.
I’ve not seen any approved/professional booths that use Squirrel cage fans, they all seem to use a propeller blade. Also they are usually in a shroud or housing I would imagine to keep the tip losses down.
House fans really aren’t very efficient and they don’t move very much air.
My old garage would get fogged up pretty quick and I would have to wait for it to clear out using a house fan. I think I want something bigger and more powerful this time but that usually translates into bigger spending.
I really like that idea of bouncing the exhaust out over a water tub, I think that might work real good.
Thanks guys,
