I think you need to get an airflow meter, and set up a tube full of water to comprehend what I am saying. What I am saying is the truth, I have no reason to BS you!
All I am stating is that while your analogies may make sense, when you test these fans appropriately, fans with high static pressure ratings tend to keep that mark. Those geared for higher RPM with a low static pressure rating are going to lose both air flow and pressure as you add things in front of it (such as that tube of water).
I never thought for a moment you were BSing me!
It sounds like what you're talking about is the motor quality that erocker mentioned, below. Yup, a high torque motor will help to keep the fan speed up all right against resistance, without adding more voltage and is another important quality metric. I'd forgotten about it, so shoot me.
You're forgetting the motor and how resistance plays a part in its performance.
Example: a weaker motor that spins fast can produce a lot of airflow. Impede the airflow by placing a radiator in front of the the weaker motor will not work very well. A more powerful motor will not be hindered so much by resistance resulting in higher airflow during situations where higher static pressure is needed.
Indeed, as to sneeky above.
bearings, bushings, pitch, angle, shape, texture, additional features in a frame such as dimples or step down areas where the air first rubs against the frame, there are literally tons of ways to change the performance of a fan.
All I am getting at is that there are high static pressure fans for a reason, it isn't just a marketing gimmick as Qubit is implying.
I never said there was any marketing gimmick here? And the dimples etc are the differences I'm talking about when comparing the quality of fans. The better fan will move the air faster at a certain revs than the poorer one and push back harder against air resistance in front of it, maintaining its speed better.
