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...

Eisboch already mentioned that.
