...and yes that is a REAL, miniature, WORKING, positive displacement Roots Blower by (WhispAir). Those small ones are used as pond aerators.

Chopper is 4" PVC cap 5/6 port ratio "correctly located"
Stator is 4" to outdoor drain hose 5" or so
Motor for blower is and old 1/2hp 120v single phase

I have another motor for spinning the chopper mounted to a separate verticle poll but it needs more RPMs to make any decent "sound"

Let me know what you think..
