Baker Fan demonstrations and information for Steam, Stirling or Hit & Miss Engines - Put a load on!

Since making these Baker Fans and running them off an assortment of engines I have been asked many times for build hints, dimensions and advice so hopefully I have covered it all and given some demonstrations with the video shorts of just how a Baker Fan gives you a whole other dimension when running your engines under this simple device that puts them under a working load.

I would have called them a paddle wheel fan. Very common for dust/chip extraction for wood mills and the like.
