<VV> My new experimental fan

Jim- It has been done and is a good idea! the downside is that the overrunning clutch tends to be expensive

and the only advantage to it is that it helps keep the belt on during a high rpm downshift. For street cars though, simply keeping the belt a bit loose works well and doesn't cost anything (except a bit of extra belt

wear).

It's probably been suggested before but what's preventing one from using a
over running clutch in the fan drive.  It would eliminate all deceleration
forces from the pulley/belt?  Jes wonderin'.
