Tempest Direct-Drive blowers evolved from the Controlled Airstreams line of durable PPV blowers; the first direct-drive PPVs and still the best. Available in 16 to 24 diameter sizes, there is a Tempest Direct-Drive to match your budget and compartment space. For the best combination of performance, compact size and light weight, choose a Tempest Direct-Drive.
The impeller is mounted directly to the
engine shaft, reducing the blowers overall
weight.
Vibration problems that are common
to most direct-drive blowers have been
minimize with the use of overhead
valve engines, precisely balanced
impellers, and vibration-absorbing feet.
The direct-drive design is more compact
to provide a smaller profile for storage in
most apparatus compartments.
