<VV> Electric Fans

 Except for the turbocharged and air conditioned cars. They CLEARLY didn't get it right on these.

Thanks Jon. As you read, the answer was yes, its been tried.

But why? The Corvair fan arrangement works fine for all normal driving
conditions. There is even an Otto variable pulley for reducing hp
consumption by getting rid of extra capacity!

Its simple and it works. I'm no expert, just have driven corvairs over
220k miles with no overheating problems and only 1 unscheduled broken
belt. yes, I had a spare in the trunk and I was back on the road in
minutes.

It seems the GM engineers got it right!

Jeez, all I did was to innocently ask if anyone had heard of using an
electric fan for cooling their 'vair instead of the inefficient belt
driven one!  Since then, you guys have had your pitchforks and scythes
out, all saying, "ooh! ooh! I know that!   Listen to me!", practically
calling each other out!

It's so easy nowadays to be an 'expert' and publish. I thought that this
was a friendly forum, a place to ask questions and maybe get some
history, find parts, etc, related to Corvairs, instead of being the
shooting gallery that it seems to be. Sheesh!

It's a bit like being in a small town in an exotic car. If you're all
alone, and want company, just pop the hood. You will have a crowd of
'experts', wrenches in hand, around your car in 2 minutes flat, all
earnestly sure they know what's wrong- even if there is nothing wrong.

Enjoy your cars. I know I do. Don't get bitter and twisted and
argumentative on a forum- it's a sure way to destroy it.  Yes, express
your opinion- but don't confuse opinions with facts.

Enjoy.
