Just to experiment how strong my fan is during a noon sun, I took my debit card to the intake and it did not stay but a paper towel did. I suppose that's good enough.
A debit card won't create a full seal around the bottom and probably too heavy for the stock fan even if it did.
IIRC, the fan I run at 67cfm is ~ 3.5 times stronger than stock at full sun and will easily hold a thick business envelope with the contents still inside. Do I need all this power, probably not, but more importantly, I know it's always there.
Do you keep it at the same speed 24/7 or turn it down at night when that amount of aspiration isn't as necessary anymore? That is insane though, thick full business envelope easily. That is heavy duty aspiration. This past summer was about our 2nd hottest on record I believe, my VP2 recorded 71 days AOA 90 degrees which is insane for here. Wondering if I should go for something other than stock. I'm assuming a little more aspiration (but not too much) could only do more good than harm on my afternoon readings.
100%, 24/7. Yes, it's strong, makes an impressive "whooshing" sound from the suction.
I switched because I was tired of replacing stock fans, and we've spoken of my difficult ISS placement for service. The added benefit is indeed the greater aspiration, which I (and a few others) felt the stock motor was somewhat lacking. With this, never a worry.
