| Feb 4, 2016 at 15:09 | comment | added | bobtato | I actually tried a home-made barometer like that (it showed a 1mm pressure drop at the inlet). The problem is, I couldn't get trustworthy readings close to the fan, because I had to use a narrow (1.5mm I.D.) tube, and in the fast-moving air it acts as a Venturi pump. It shows the air right outside the fan as 18mm /below/ atmospheric pressure, which is either interesting or completely wrong, but I can't tell which. | |

added air flow diagram

Changed title to be more focused and better reflect the content.
