Fan assembly and grease system.

The very earliest fans used on the Energic moteurs were made from a solid circular heavy plate cut and bent inwards to form a fan – on the very first B1’s (below).

The aluminium fan proved effective but quite fragile and would deform easily and break when knocked as they often were. These fans with blades intact are difficult to find. Often re cast aluminium fans, were manufactured to replicate the originals but were of varying size, non uniform construction and often of different sizes. Many people improvised with alternative fan blades, from weldings to car fans.
