Did you ever wonder why the heater fan in your car operates from low-
medium-high, while a typical *box window fan operates from High-medium-
low?


I was just thinking about that.


hmm....


Oh yeah, I never figured out how 8 "bits" could equal $1.00 either...


We will all try to put your mind at ease:


With the fans, the car is a DC motor and the window is AC. * *Starting
torque is different.
As for the bits ..... isn't 2 "bits" a quarter?

But you can take a window fan and set it on "low" , plug it in, and it
starts up jjust fine, though...- Hide quoted text -

The Air filters we run here states in the instructions that it should
be started in high and once running, can be turned down to med, or
low...
