<VV> fan NOISE

[J R Read]

When I said "useful" horsepower, I meant - where the rubber meets the road. 
Not the pulleys.

A higher amp alternator uses up more horses than a lower amp one.  There is 
the correlation.  A heavier fan (when accelerating) is going to use up more 
horses than a lighter one as well.  Ask some of the serious racers about the 
things they do with fans just to get a fraction more useful (at the wheels) 
hp.

Later, JR
