Hi,
Here is my idea for a solar shield cooling fan, different I know, but I hope you like it.


regards
tyntop.
It looks good! I am in the process of preparing a pot saucer shield for my sensor. It will incorporate the Tx unit fan control
How it aspires the air from inside the shield? Or it is just cooling the top plate of the shield?
I have managed to reverse the fan so hope fully it will pull some air up through shield, but basically I saw this and liked the idea of the fan having its own power supply ie solar panel, which would work on its own. I don't know how well it will work, but I thought I would give it a try.
It have a good look, but I'm just thinking about how do you avoid that the rain gets in to the sensor chamber.
The sensor is inside a spare fine offset transmitter case that I had
Sorry, I forgot that.
I think that should work well.
