Frankenstein Friday at TFL. Solar powered radiator fan, an Agrometer from knife maker R. Brooks( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growing-degree_day ), and an upside down bean plant thanks to a Topsy Turvy tomato planter from Aunt Kathy. 80,92,51,0,B
ppears you may need more vent fannage...? maybe a couple roof top turbines - although that would play havoc with the purity of the arc. Seems the heat is on its way - hope you don't have a triple digit 4/1. Had a dream about Carl, hope you are allowing sq. footage for a Freud couch... ;-) dream ridge turbines
That fan mounting has a temporary look to it. Knowing you, the final installed unit will exceed expectations.
I was trying to figure just what an agrometer is, and what it does. Thanks for the Wiki link.
Those upside-down tomato planters sure look wacky. They solve the problem of having to stake your tomato plants, though. Hope it works out for the beans. If so, it could have a lot of potential in your greenhouse. You have a lot of trusses you could hang them from.

Do you have any idea how much current the radiator fan draws. I have been considering one for a similar application.
