Yep that remains to be seen, he put his hand under the duct and guessed about 20m/s which may not be that far off but I gather he has appropriate gear. I was more intersested in whether, assuming it can be done accurately, it is worthwhile testing with the different blast gates open to see how effective the various machine connections are and whether we're in the ball park flow wise. I'm also curious as to whether the enclosure causes resistance - ie would try with some panels removed.
