Well I did not mention it in my message here at Lugnet, but I wrote in the
description.txt file that both files is compressed with DivX5, so you
probably need the DivX codec to get it to work. The initial size of both
avi-files was about 3.8MB and by compressing it with DivX5 I got half the
size without loosing too much quality.
Go to this site to download the latest DivX codec http://www.divx.com/

Sound like an good idea, but since I dont have this sails I cant try it. I
have too look for some pictures of the parts first maybe I can make my own
"sail" blades for my fan.
The hard part of making a fast rotating and effective fan is not to make the
blades but to get the blades to be good enough secured to the axel so they
dont deatach when spinning, and also they should not change the angel they
are mounted in.
