    Default cheap heat control how to

    hullo folks
    ok here goes ,
    i was thinking of how to keep my canopy heat level under control & thought i'd share my idea with you all , & how it will save you on your bills .
    what i came up with was i got 10 x 12v pc (60mm)fans for £5
    i then got myself a 50mm hole cutting tool for the same price
    for power i am using a 13.8volt 3 amp cb radio power supply .
    so i got my parabolic shade & measured were i should cut holes for 4 fans
    i cut the holes & braided the wires together before using small soldering connectors i put 2 fans inside & 2 outside the shade due to the original vents on the shade plate being raised , so i used them by mounting the 2 inside ones were the vents are cutting the hole central on the vents leaving 2 intact & usable for feeding the wires through . anyway i have this up & tested & have allready got my vegging drobe shade done & it works a treat , i have also got on order 6 120mm 12volts fans for wall mounting in the vegging drobe working as a cool fresh air intake so i should have the parabolic in the tent on 12/12 being cooled helped with 4 fans taking away heat from the source , 1 fan in the veg cab dutch barn shade & 6 5 inch intake fans all powered by 12volts using an old cb radio power supply unit . cheap easy & a money saver surely
