A hurricane weighs 108 billion pounds. Irma is a category 3 hurricane, so winds are 115 mph.
108 billion lbs * 115 mph = 2.518 x 10^12 Newton seconds of momentum.
This pedestal fan can move 5600 cubic feet of air per minute, which is 194 kilograms of air per minute. If the fan is about 20 inches in diameter, it can move the air at 29.16 miles per hour. So this is an equivalent momentum of 2529 Newton-seconds.
2.518x10^12 /2529 = 995,650,455 fans blowing for at least one minute.
If you used this fan instead, you could move air with a momentum of 7245 newton-seconds and so you would need 347,550,035 fans. Which would cost you (at $180 a piece) 62.56 billion dollars.
The fans were similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/Max-Storm-Lightweight-Janitorial-Purple/dp/B007T01JJK
And the fabric was a very very thin and lightweight one. Probably nylon, it felt like a parachute
This is what I use. Simple and effective. The higest setting really moves some air.

This is the correct advice. You will eventually ruin your inline fan with a cheap speed controller. Cheap controllers pulse the power (on/off) This causes undue stress on the motor and makes it louder over time. I dont buy cheap fans, I use a Suncourt Centrax and the controller listed above. If you are patient you can find them new on ebay much cheaper than Amazon. They aren't top of the line but are quality and quiet.
We'll be ok
I saw that. Shit's fucked up.
I got two of these. They're powerful and cheap. I had to secure the faceplate with zipties though. https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-1820-Performance-Adjustable-Oscillating/dp/B00FXOFM4M
I can step in and answer a few on from my own tent.

2. I personally dont use an intake fan, just leave the mesh openings and Duct openings on the bottom open.
3. refer to Autonomous incoming reply.
4. I'm using an APC 7900 switched PDU i got off ebay for $85
5. I'm using this fan ( https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Inline-Variable-Controller-Ventilation/dp/B01DXYMJ94/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1518212723&sr=8-4&keywords=vivosun+6%22 ) Plus side is this fan is indeed quiet and runs at 60watts for me.
6. I've got a blower style fan circulating the air inside i had this fan before the tent so i just used it ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1LYHTE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) .
Still considering getting another Vivosun 6" as intake with a carbon filter just to eliminate dust on cards and making maintenance easier
7. Tent i use 48 x 24 x 84 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WMBQZ90/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Fits this shelf with Rigs mounted with a ton of room( https://www.amazon.com/Tier-Heavy-Non-Corrosive-Metal-Shelving/dp/B076GXK3ST/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1518213252&sr=1-2&keywords=Hyper-Tough-5-Tier-Wire-Shelving)
8. $199.51 total including 25feet 6" duct, hangers and an 6" round to 6"oval to be mounted through the window. (Not including Shelving the rig is mounted to inside)
The Dyson fans are a gimmick in my opinion; you can do much better for cheaper. Air King makes a nice set of floor fans which I usually suggest. The 12" and 14" models are probably the best for a small to medium size room. You can also point them at the ceiling to really mix the air.
Like the other fans though, these won't cut down on any dust or pollen. Maybe look for a good large air purifier? Many of them are powerful enough to mix up the air like a fan and will still cost a lot less than any Dyson product.
[This is the fan that I have](

Here you go OP.
For over 30 years I have run a fan at night, many different kinds, 5-10 feet from the bed, to help me get to sleep and to stay there. As long as the blades are 10 inches in diameter, your fan should be able to make enough noise, even if the blades are plastic. It might eliminate your ability to hear a lot of noises that are bothersome.
When you speak of windows being loose, I’m thinking that it’s the frame and not the glass pane.
You need to find a few things to put at the side of the wood frame, or behind the window frame where it and the wood meets the one above. Like a small wood wedge, or maybe a butter knife. Something to stop the window from being able to move about when air is passing by.
Imho, you should try a fan. Direct it at the ceiling if you don’t like much or any of the breeze, and just enjoy the sound of it.
Currently I'm running this. It's a bit pricey, but the construction and sweet motor will be helping me sleep for many years. https://www.amazon.com/Tpi-Workstation-Fan-Diameter-Free-Standing/dp/B0002FSOAG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1474587227&sr=8-2&keywords=12%22+tpi+fan
This looks pretty good. The high velocity motor might give the metal blades what you need.

These are all running:
Leaching onto parent question:
Say i had a 12V car battery like this
and a blower fan like this or more simply an oscilating fan like this
How do I figure out how long the battery would let the fan run on a single charge? As in not hooked up to solar or the car battery.
Any help with how to calculate this would be very appreciated, a fan seems very crucial
Get a Comfort Zone on Amazon. Prices are jacked at $47, got mine for $30. Anyway this fan works great I bought two.
Comfort Zone 18" High Velocity Cradle Fan, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002JOS7RI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XFNLzbWQVSC8Y
Its pretty loud af but who cares... You're mining lol.
I have 1080 Tis running at 55C low and 61C high
Before I added the fan temps would teach 68-73+
I have the rig on a table with the fan on the ground aiming up hitting all the cards and across mobo and cpu. I can stick my hand in-between each card gap and feel a ridiculously strong flow of wind. Right into the intake fans. It took me a lot of repositioning of the fan angle to get optimal temps. And when I added two fans, the temps increased. When I turn the ceiling fan on, temps are slightly higher. ~_^
I always operate in 50C range and anything beyond 60 I don't like. These cards are running 24/7 and I have mine maxed out at nearly 38Mh/s per gpu.
I'd also suggest rearranging those cards to allow for more airflow in-between them, but I think that comfort zone fan would drop your temps by about 13C to around 57C, but, man... That spacing...

So it looks like it's this guy here
https://www.amazon.com/Port-Cool-Portable-Direct-3-Speed/dp/B000PDQ1KU
Amazon lists its for $695, some other sites for more for a new unit.
So like $300? I've plugged it in and it's turned on but I'll admittedly say I'm not sure how it works. So I'd insist whoever bought it would come over and try it themselves before we make a transaction. I can however deliver. I'm in Scappoose and would drive it wherever.
You need a good fan. I'm a naturally warm-bodied person and this helps me sleep better during the summer. It's AMAZINGLY good at cooling you off when you're really sweaty. It costs a little bit but we're talking hurricane force winds. You can also bring it to BBQ's, dry mopped floors or air out a stuffy house.

I found it as Sam's for about $75.
I was planning on skipping the small 120mm fans altogether and just stacking three nicer box fans (something like this) where the door would be. I figured that would be enough to keep them cool. Then just exhaust it out the back through a window. If you push the air fast enough, you don't even need cooled air. Ambient temps should be enough. 38C air is still way cooler than the 75C cards.
That being said, let me know how the inline works out. I picked up a 325CFM one without doing much researching thinking that would be enough. Man did I learn that lesson the hard way lol
Grabbed one of these after hearing it recommended by the TR guys on their podcast.

Pricey but low/med work well for endurance/tempo stuff and high does a good job for anything more intense.
