I am going to be building a 8 foot ceiling fan out of an old Aermotor Windmill.
I need guidance on
1) size of motor to turn this set of blades. Fan blades probably weighs about 60-70 pounds
2) size of pullies to drive it.
Hub were brake runs is approximately 7"
(what size pulley on motor ?)
3) What type of belt ? serpentine, flat, or V belt ?
4) Since this is set up for horizontal operation will like to know what bearings
would be best to use ? tapered roller or ball bearing. guessing ball for this.
Thanks in advance
