Dave,
I assume you meant me and not Richard Quick! If I am in error, sorry. I
have made a series gap arrangement in a 12" diameter short piece of PVC
with a high speed fan blowing through it. It used about 6 gaps total
made of Copper pipe sections about 3 inches long and 2" in diametr.
These were secured to the inside circumference of the tube with 1 bolt
each through the tube and pipe. The gaps were adjustable to a limited
degree as the tubes circled the inside of the tube plenum. The bolts
extended to tthe outside and were used to tap into the gap as needed. A
large 12" high speed blower fan was attached to the top[ of the plenum
and the base had about 6" legs to hold it up off the floor and allow for
air escape.
I have no construction plans, but show its manner of construction on one
of our video report tapes. Sorry, can't remember which now as I don't
have a catalog at work with me.
