I think it's part of Ohm's law. If I recall correctly from my high school electronics class in the early '80s, there were about half a dozen formulas covered under Ohm's law, which allow one to calculate wattage (P)ower, voltage (E), amperage (I) , and resistance (R), depending on the known values of the others. The formula to calculate wattage based on current and voltage was P=IxE. That's the only one I remember because it spells 'pie'.
Don't ask me why the letters aren't W, V, and A for watts, volts, and amps. It's probably a Latin thing or maybe a German thing. German was the language of science prior to WWI. |

To answer the question of taking a fan from a Legend for your 508, no.
You can put an Amodel fan into a 508 but you need a metal spacer that is different from the one on a Legend. The spacer is thicker and longer. The Amodel fan is the same in all three kits that are available. The difference is in the pully and spacer. The kit you would need is Kirby part #119078A for the 505 thru 515. |
