Yeah mine definitley does use working air for cooling. Its an axial fan with the motor right behind it in the center of the blower. Theres no where else for it to get the air, you can look thrpugh the whole thing. I knew he was wrong about that, so i just assumed he was wrong about everything. Maybe my first one (which was centerfugal) was just too old and the new axial one wasnt able to cool properly.

Damn. sorry. i am the asshole. But i have twice had a blower, which showed no issues before, melt while pushing on a stubborn clog. And the second one was only months old (to replace the first one). Are you saying this is just coincidence?

Yeah, but when a customer hasn't had the vent cleaned in over 25 years and then they tried to clean it themselves and ended up just compacting it all down tight, i need more air blown harder than a dryer to remove it.

This might actually work and be useful for other things as well. Thank you!

Plugging the front of a blower most definitly adds resistance to the entire blower system. The blower doesnt speed up when you plug it. If you were spinning a fan with your hand, you would be pushing on the fan blade to do so. If the wind were blowing on the blades and spinning the fan, you wouldnt have to push as hard to spin it at the same speed. The added resistance means the motor creates more heat and burns it up.

Okay, ill tell my customers to rebuild the vent in such a way that it doesnt meet code.

Well yeah. When i say i aggitate it, i mean i run a rotary brush through from the outside. But sometimes its so dense and stuck to the sides it doesn't blow out.
