I decided to check out Radio Shack. For only 24 bucks i picked up a brushless cooling fan. It has a nice weight to it for
the small size. i put it in a register between floors blowing down from the upstairs hallway to the hallway downstairs farthest away from my pellet stove. it spins at 2100 rpm's with 65cfm airflow at 220 mA.(115 VAC and 60Hz) you only hear a slight hum if you are right
next to it. i still have to work on funneling it downward more. right now the opening in the floor has fiberglass insulation
around it but it is still to big of an overall opening. when putting my hand over it i can feel it pulling the air, but on the downstairs side i don't feel much there. again, the space is to large, will have to put in a smaller duct and i am sure will make a difference.

Part # 273-0241 sixe=4.69x4.69x1.5" It has 2 leads to hard wire. I just cut off and extension cord and wired it so i can plug it in for the time being to see how it works.
