Electrical bus powered cooling fan

摘要

A bus cooling fan that operates without an external electrical power supply. The fan is positioned between a pair of bus bars. The fan includes a rotor having fan blades and is mounted on an axle, which is supported by cross-braces in a shroud surrounding the rotor and open at the ends. The fan is fabricated of non-ferrous, non-conducting material with the exception of bent rods that support the fan blades and are mounted on an axle. The bent rods interact with the electromagnetic field created by the current-carrying bus bars and act as a rotor for an induction motor when the fan is placed between bus bars.
