cjh Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Looking into building a silent wind machine for a studio shoot and came across these online: http://www.fantech.com.au/FanRange.aspx?&MountingID=I&RangeID=2024 Anyone tried them? The 315mm version might be good on the end of 10m of ducting? (for when it's not possible to have the larger ext fan ducted thru studio door system). Regards, Chris.

ryanpeds Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 They include sound data specs for each fan. Is that measurement when they are at full speed? They look like they might work if not working too hard and baffled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 If you are wanting a wind effect on talent (not just ventilation) the sound of the air passing through the duct that will also be an issue...unless your duct is very large. Enough wind to do something like move long hair or a dress or window curtains would need a very directed outlet. Do you think this rig can be quieter than a Mole E-fan?

cjh Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Hard to say re quietness compared to mole e fan, they don't publish dB spec that I can find, thought this one might be better suited to duct use, of say 400mm. That said I have no real user experience of duct wind machines on set so any user reviews would be good. And fart jokes of course, they are always welcome, except in elevators. C.

mikewest Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Yep the good old Mole fan at low revs takes a lot of beating mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 As mentioned, the Mole-Richardson E-fan is about as quite as you're going to get. Of course, as with any fan, if you turn it up to 11, you're going to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
