    Yeah...I've got twenty four of the 18v batteries. Four of them are the 9Ah. Combine that with the stark price difference _and_ the fat that there isn't an adapter to lose/break...the 18v is the clear winner.

    51dB vs 63dB… it is logarithmic. For each 3dB the sound level doubles or halves. With a delta of 12dB it is nearly 16 times a loud base on sound pressure level ( SPL). On a job site that constant drone is aggregated with all of the other noise as fatigue. Just a thought

    I know this is not an apples to apples comparison but they probably draw the same if not a similar amount of voltage which is why the 40v lasts so much longer. The other variable is that it's a whisper series compared to a normal one and the whisper series is their top end tech which may have more efficient motors. I'm still impressed that the 4 ah battery lasted 7 hours on low, that's more than enough time to charge up several batteries. Great video I really enjoyed the content!

    • @TheCharleseye

      It’s called Ryobi being cheap. In the models with an extension cord option built in to the fan, the rectifier (power supply) is simply built into the fan.
      By moving it to a power brick that is external to the fan they can now source said bring from the lowest bidder vs having a custom engineered solution built inside the fan.
      I bet it makes warranties easier as well as the whole fan doesn’t need to come back for a dead AC supply. The power supply is most likely the same voltage as the battery. Internally they most likely use the exact same electronics.
      Designing a holder or retaining pouch for the power supply would have gone a long way to the major complaint of the power supply being forgotten or lost.
      Most laptops are 18-19v power bricks. I would be almost any of them would power the 18V version of the new whisper series.
      Ryobi needs to do user acceptance testing before removing the most popular feature of the hybrid fans, name using an extension cord ONLY to power the fan off AC mains.

    One thing that should have been mentioned about runtime is that you can regularly get 4-4Ah18v batteries for the same price as the 4AH 40V. So runtime/$ leans quite the other way (30h 45 min vs 13h for the same $ in batteries).

    The new ones are also 14" v. 18" for the old one (P3340 seen here). But what's odd is the [new] ONE+ version of the 40V fan claims 2300 CFM, while this 40V one says "over 2000 CFM" but doesn't give an exact number. The old one here is supposed to be 2400 CFM but the new ONE+ version says it's 35% faster air *velocity* at 790 FPM, with the 40V version being 800 FPM--even faster. Though it wasn't published before, the old 18" fan is therefore about 590 FPM. This airspeed difference is probably what is being felt in the demonstration in the video.

    • @notmethanks816
      @notmethanks816 2 місяці тому

      Anytime air is more focused for the same amount of volume the air speed naturally needs to increase.
      This is not always desirable and can sometimes cause a chilling effect or may focus the air stream too much.
      It really depends on the use case. Cost for batteries is a big factor as well. 18V batteries are a LOT cheaper than 40V batteries at that point.

  • @-GrimEngineer-1337
    @-GrimEngineer-1337 Рік тому

    CFM does not equal wind speed. The 18v unit has a larger face so it may move more total volume but at a lower speed, which in a fan that you want to feel is not as desirable as the 40V unit. Also the power the motor draws is not the amps (you said amp/hr but it's just amps), it's the watts. So the 18V unit draws 1.8A X 18V = 32.4 watts at full power and the 40V unit draws .5A X 40V = 20 watts. So not only is the 40V unit more efficient but it also has a narrower output produces higher wind speed.

    • @notmethanks816
      @notmethanks816 2 місяці тому

      But that is not how fans are compared for efficiency. Watts/cfm is the standard comparison. This allows comparing across different sizes, blade configurations, motor types, etc. Once that is done there is very little difference between the fans in watts/cfm.
      The 40V runs long simply because a 40v battery at 4ah has a power reserve capacity of 160watts. An 18V battery at 4ah is 72watts. The 40V has more than double the capacity.
      In reality the batteries are NOT 40V. They are 36v batteries. Two 18V packs in series. The exact same lithium cells are used in both battery voltages. 36V just doesn’t sound as sexy as 40V. It is really only 40V when it is 100% charge. Just like some toolmakers try and sell 20V batteries vs 18V. It’s just marketing.

    The 40 volt should last 3 times as long. The run times don't make any sense. Obviously the 40 volt is double the watt hours and if it uses 2/3 the power then it should be closer to 3x run time. The 40 volt watt use spec you have my be incorrect.

    • @JeremyAkersInAustin
      @JeremyAkersInAustin Рік тому

      The spec he was reading was for the maximum speed setting, but he tested it at the lowest setting. I think the low speed on the 18v fan is probably a higher speed than the low speed on the 40v. He should have tested at the max speed as well to see if there was a difference in runtime.
