<VV> electric fan idea

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Yeah, when I get that 500 amp alternator and the 50 pound electric motor  
with enough HP to spin it. <G>
 
Horsepower is proportional to torque times RPM. HP is a BIG number here  
relative to the available electrical power in an automotive electrical system.

Has  anyone ever considered just driving the factory magnesium corvair fan 
with an  electic motor?  The easiest solution I would think would be to belt 
drive  the stock fan with an electric motor that puts out enough power... 
electric  motors are generally not short on torque so I wouldnt think this would be 
too  hard to accomplish........
