Many many uses.
In the summertime our home-office gets very hot. It has two windows that face directly south. Three monitors. Two computers. One television. Two lamps. Two warm bodies. The house's central air conditioning just can't keep up on the hottest days. We will be able to run the 20 foot hose out of the office and hang it over the balcony to downstairs and suck cool air into the office.
If we ever burn something in the kitchen, and it is freezing cold outside, we can run the HoseFan® out of a window and stuff a few towels around the opening. Turn the fan on to just suck the smoke out, and only a minimal amount of heated air will need to escape.
This will be useful when working on projects that give off lots of toxic fumes. Open a basement window and stick one end of the HoseFan® out of the window, the other end sucking in the fumes by the work area.
The hose is just 20 feet of 4" dryer exhaust tube. The fan was bought off the shelf in the HVAC section of Menard's. It is supposed to be a booster fan in a house's duct work. It is designed to be wired into the furnace's power source, so it didn't come with a plug; just three wires hanging out of it. I had to buy the electric plug you see in the picture and attach it to the three wires.
Plug: $2
Hose: $6
Fan: $16
Total: $24
