abruptly.</div><div><br></div><div> Solution: Make a stable wooden bar to serve as a controllable blockade of air</div><div> passage behind the fan opening.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="yiv4512575285photo yiv4512575285photo_left" style="padding:2px 10px 5px 0px;clear:left;float:left;max-width:180px;"><img class="yiv4512575285photo_img yiv4512575285img" alt="" src="https://fbcdn-photos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-0/1653641_829233663757768_142311657_a.jpg" title="" style="border-width:0px;max-width:100%;margin:0px;padding:0px;"></span></div><div><span class="yiv4512575285photo yiv4512575285photo_left" style="padding:2px 10px 5px 0px;clear:left;float:left;max-width:180px;"><img class="yiv4512575285photo_img yiv4512575285img" alt="" src="https://fbcdn-photos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/t1.0-0/1924690_829234123757722_706380938_a.jpg" title=""
