My weather shield does too! I did not know they made the ‘promotor’ ones early like that

@@LemontTheFanMan Be careful tho, because these are quite expensive. I do feel like these are pretty cool fans as they come with the filter and some still come with stand holes too!

@@Fanscarsetc Okay i will be careful and your right they do cost i found one for about 50$ new on Ebay

Thank you Eli!!

@@sccpsteve Thank you! I might try Facebook market I’ve heard people find really good stuff going on there. You’re not alone I also Thought the older petal blades were the same as the current ones for a while but i found they aren’t.

@@shawnhill3866 the strange part is i have a similar style motor from 2005 with a small rotor, it pulls 0.92 amps and is much more powerful. I have no idea why this ‘supreme’ motor in the video was built so poorly. I do remember the range in speeds were pretty awful too although my 2005 ‘promotor’ version has similar range in speeds to a 90s marco motor

i prefer the slower ones and I would love to have a supreme motor for my 2005 06. It has the more powerful promotor. I was wondering if you would like to trade the supreme motor for the powerful one in mine. I like those supreme motors and it just isn't possible to find one where I live. Everything is aerospeed here

@@shawnhill3866 I don’t remember what happened to my supreme motor I think I tossed it with the old fan once the switch broke. I realized there are three different versions of the supreme motor; the first (the underpowered version) which was shown in the video, the second one which has the larger rotor and bigger windings made from around 2010-2014 which is just as powerful as the promotor/glory versions, and the newest one which uses the 8-pole inside style windings. I’ve been looking for a 2nd gen supreme motor but i cannot seem to find them, i only got the unbranded motor that says “bf” and the glory motor.

do you have any 4733 or 3733 motors from 2007. All of them from that year had the slower ones

@@shawnhill3866 nope unfortunately i only had the one from 2006-07, but that’s actually not true, I’ve seen one from 2006-07 before with a ‘hung hsing’ motor and a beige motor cable instead of grey one. There’s also a guy called fsm reviews on youtube with a 2007-08 4733 with the typical glory motor. I believe also the 2005-06 ones used the slower motor and the 2006-07 ones also used the promotor. I’ve been told after around 2007, the motors switched to have a code on the motor that starts with ‘bf’

It honestly depends and is seemingly random, Tory used to have a b20200 from 2014-15 that still used the huddled winding motor as well as 2013-14 b20200. There are some from 2012 that use the larger capacitor motor so its completely random. Some of the cool colors from 2014-15 still use the huddle winding motor despite me having a 2013-14 cool colors with the 8-pole motor. It appears the only huddled winding motors left in 2013-2015 were the ‘supreme’ motors

I never said the 3733 motor is as powerful as the recalled motor, all i said was it’s probably the same motor but evolved to be less powerful. The very first recalled motors did appear to have a much bigger stator tho so you’re probably right. I’m very curious to why mine uses a 5uf as opposed to the typical 4uf capacitors. I have noticed mine runs unusually fast on low speed for a weather shield fan and idk if it’s due to the larger capacitor or if the blade is flimsier. My weather shield motor is probably recalled the winding look the same as the other recalled motors but it used the modern motor housing.

There are several possibilities: A) because it has no fused plug and that B) the motor has rubout points - in my recalled motor, I saw a few points of the insulation inside of the motor were flattened and close to wearing through, and C) dust buildup = overheating.

Okay cool father, if you pay attention you can see when the fan on the right is running on low, it makes the other fan shake. It is undeniably out of balance

@@Fanscarsetc You may see it, but I played your video several times to notice it before posting. Thanks for pointing it out, but it's extremely difficult to see with all that camera movement. Use studio production techniques to point out the little things, like I suggested earlier. It would make for a more convincing video. 😉

Speaking of the weather shields, i’ve noticed the older ones have a wider, more flower petal shape than the newer ones like mine which have a narrower diamond shape. Idk if the older ones move more air than the newer ones cause i haven’t tested an older weather shield yet, but i imagine they move much more air. I have noticed the glossier blade seems to be quieter and spins slower than the other blades, and spinning at the same rpm as other blades it moves a bit more air. The new blade molds will probably be a lot better than the current ones.

@@Fanscarsetc I can't say for sure since I don't own an old weather shield, but my recalled 3700 certainly moves waaay more air than a modern weather-shield. Does the old weather shield in question have that "highly pronounced ring" in the center of the blade hub?

@@sccpsteve Yes, the older petal blade-sets have the ring in the center, the newer ones don’t. I believe that blade was made up untill around 2013 because jordan has a 3720 from that era and it still has that blade.

@@Fanscarsetc I was informed that all Laskos with a ring in the center are the equivalent power of a recalled box fan. I don't know if that's true but that's what I was told.

@@sccpsteve I actually just watched one of Eli’s videos and apparently in 2003 or 04 the weather-shields moved to a similar blade as the ones today but i’m not sure if the pitch changed or not.

This has definitely shocked me that there are box fans out there with good blade balance. I didn’t mention it but that blade is also quieter than the other crappy blades they use

@@Fanscarsetc wow that’s good to know its seems like Lasko is slowly getting their act together hopefully this will continue that keep the blades and motor quieter and in perfect balance it’s about time

Jordan is the one who advocates for motor lubrication but the newer motors don’t come with much oil if any at all. The older ‘huddled winding’ psc motors, like this one in the video seem to come with good lubrication but some of the new ones i’ve found to be bone dry. I made sure to not put too much oil in the bearings to prevent this but idk i guess it still was too much

@@Fanscarsetc It varies across each manufacturer of the motor. Take for example Cophaco's tuna cylinder motors had plenty of oil. But Hungder (HV) had a little less, and Well-Champion (WC/WG) had little to none at all.

@@sccpsteve Lmao i’ve never heard of those crazy names besides the ‘HV’ motors. I do agree tho some of the brands have more oil than others but the cophaco motors i’ve used before also had no oil in them. The motor in the video appears to have no brand on it besides “PM” on the capacitor so I can’t really trace what manufacture but i do have a “glory” variant of the same motor and it had plenty of oil in it despite being over 10 years old.

@@Fanscarsetc I found a glory motor that had rusted out the steel bearings. But with a bit of convincing it freed right up. I tried pulling the shaft out of the bearing and the whole bearing popped out of course so I replaced it with one from a HV motor. It still runs in my bathroom 24/7. I was wrong about the Cophaco. I thought I had saw oil in it but that was my imagination. I was thinking about the old promotor from my older 3733

@@sccpsteve A rusted out bearing is crazy. Eli lasko had the same issue on his channel but it was with the older 1.1 amp recalled motor but that fan was abused by a smoker. One motor i’ve struggled to find is one of those “supreme” motors that exist in the lasko/galaxy fans from like 2009-2014. I did find one from a 2006-07 3733 but it appears to be a crappy first iteration of it. The second versions seem to be much better, and oddly enough that motor still exists today in the ‘USA’ limited edition cool colors box fans.

looks like phone with cracked camera lens glass

@@xtsm_ketchupx2055 i heard it from 10+ people already. i’ll change it when i can find someone who knows how to do it

Weights wouldn't add much drag , just some inertia

2:31

i would imagine maybe it’s got something to do with the windings and how the capacitor interacts with the burnt-out windings?

I guarantee you wouldn’t say that to someones face brodie

@@Fanscarsetc Woah where’s this hostility coming from? My best friend is autistic and I make fun of him all the time. So you’d be wrong. Typical hostile behavior from your type.

⁠​⁠@@Secret_Pickle How do you know i’m autistic? Where did any of this come from? I’m not your friend so idk what the intent was behind that comment. Please elabrate on what you mean by “your type”

Its Just a hoje, he Is basicaly joking that you only do really stupdy things on This Chanel but to be honest i ould do the same lol

@@Fanscarsetc I’m sure you’re aware of crime statistics. UA-cam will delete my comment if I state any other facts about it. I can tell you’re autistic because you literally started a UA-cam channel dedicated to fans. That’s autism behavior. There’s nothing wrong with that, though. I find autistics entertaining, so I was excited to find your channel. You lot give me hearty chuckles.

@@Fluffberymoff idk if you saw the video but i put the windmachine blade on it which is an objectively heavier and thicker blade than the typical 3733s. I would probably need an early 2000s 1.1 amp psc motor for a metal blade to work

@@scellyyt yeah i already know

@@nickv4073 my recommendation would be to either look for an older weathershield or Venturi grille box fan with the older 1.1 amp psc motor. Those are some of the best cheaper fans ever made

I would’ve went with a 3720. I hear they’re better made than the 3733.

I didn’t record it unfortunately

@@Fanscarsetc ok but can you show the fan mother smoking

This was filmed a while ago i had just ported it on my channel so i don’t remember how it exactly performed but it was similar performance to today’s tuna-can motors. I don’t think it was the capacitor because it had noticeably less copper than my promotor variant from 2005 while this motor was probably from 2006-07. the unbranded motor is dated 2009 and performs identical to the “glory” variant from 2009. There seems to be 2 versions of the promotors, the early versions and the newer versions used up from like 2010-2013 with the larger rotor. same goes for the supreme motor.

@@Fanscarsetc Thanks for the clarification. Can you do a video of a weathershield vs recalled motor (they are VERY different)?

@@sccpsteve yes, i can make a video comparing the two motors if that’s what you’re asking.

@@Fanscarsetc It's possible the actual recalled psc motor (pre-2003 post-2000) is a little more powerful than the huddled winding older 1.1 amp psc motor you have. So yes that's what I mean

@@sccpsteve i believe they are the exact same motor just with a different motor case. It pulls the same power as jordan’s 3743 from 2001 and spins at the same rpm as other early 2000s psc motors.

I figured it must have been an issue with the plastic from the factory. I would say ever since 2013 the only decent motors have been the “sagitta” motors or the weathershield/power plus type motors all the other ones suck. I used to have a b20200 that had the original “cophaco” motor that was the traditional shaped motor but now they use a smaller square design.

How and why would lasko be able to do that?

@Fanscarsetc blades would be wider deeper pitch and powerful motors, Quality will be increased, and air flow will be stronger.

@@idkanymore2746i will make a video explaining that

@@Fanscarsetc Sorry for asking.

@@idkanymore2746 you’re fine no need to apologize
