Open Source In-Line Duct Fan

Basics

• A Fan powered by a Brushless DC Motor that is placed in-line with Ductwork to propel the air
• Use One Per Zone, and thus allow for a per zone Variable Air Flow system (also software control of all the rates etc
• Need to see if "blast gates" would still be needed/useful
• Main use is in an HVAC or solely Ventilation system for a building, but it would also have use for greenhouses, and fume hoods/laminar flow hoods etc
