1995 Honda Accord boils over

  1. I don't think they can inhibit air flow that way because the air pressure
    against the blade is what flexes them "flatter." At least in theory, they
    should still be pushing air.

    To each their own.

  2. You're right about the change in air speed and that the ideal pitch should
    vary along the blades like the pitch on an airplane propellor or a ship
    "screw." This isn't rocket science, though, it's just a radiator fan they
    are trying to improve a bit. Regular fans work and these fans work. Take
    your choice (I think you already did!)

  3. Nope, the higher the RPM, the greater deflection of air, almost like
    having a circle of plywood right in back of the radiator.... So much
    so, it could become a negative factor at higher rpms. "Silence" has a
    price...
