RE: [DMCForum] The bane of my existence

["Travis Goodwin" <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need the fans because of the bends in the ducting. My initial testing
shows that the fog tends to collect in the bends of the pipe. I have
thought
about hooking them to the battery, but I would prefer the easier route. I
plan to test the longevity of the 2 12V fans connected to a series of 3 9V
batteries.
