Thought these were kind of interesting and wondering if anyone has tried them? According to the specs they move a good volume of air.

Heres a quote from a review of this blower.
"We use this to dry handpainted wallpaper in our studio. The fan is extremely forceful (it will move small objects like remote controls) and is quieter than a standard 20" fan.

Wind strong enough to move remote controls and shit, think of the ventilation you could get from this joker..LOL

Yeah CS I think this would move a good amount of air through a rubbermaid, and they are 12v.

Ive have seen the Ridgid fans before being used in a machine shop to keep cool... they deffinetly have some power and seemed very quiet considering how much airflow they produce.

I think its a little over kill though if your lookin for something like an inline 6in fan. I suppose you could connect it to a duct line though and use it. They arent cheap either... i bet they would work great connected to an 8 in duct line going to a air cooled hood/tube though.
