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...

True, but it's not particularly good for the motor.

But, Richard, we're talking about a cheap box fan, here....
