Yeah just a possibilty, idk could be low heat resistance or something like that, beig as there designed for bathrooms, not heat transfer. About how long would you say you had it before it starged roaring as you say?

I have a 6" sunleaves wind tunnel fan. Its 5 feet from my bed in a closet and its barable. I sleep through the on cycles and it doesnt make me wake up. It's kind of like the noise you hear when your on a plane. Easy to sleep to. I love this fan. I am having one problem with it, it started to make some strange noises. Like vibration noises. I email HTG where I bought it and told them and they sent me a replacement right away. Told me to put the old one in the box and use the prepaid shipping label. Does your windtunnel make any oscilating vibration noises? Mine kind of sounds like there is something up with the bearings. I went through 3 other expensive fans before I found the wind tunnel. If it cant keep your small space cool then your doing something wrong.

Or you havn't found the right equipment yet. I tried computer fans and I tried a vortex. Vortex certainly moved enough air, but sounds like a jet engine. I'm trying the S&Ps and seeing how they do. Hopefully I can stop looking after them :peace:

Yea Im checking those S&Ps out too. They look promising. I am always thinking ahead and I might use a few of those in my next garden.

A few people on that thread above (myself included) have them on the way. I'd wait a few days and see what's up, but they look promising.
