I had to have my cast replaced twice. The smell was amazing.
read somewhere it takes nearly 4k cfm to cool the body to replicate the outdoors. and spread over the entire body. I have a nice 24" fan that moves good air, doubt it will work well enough. Can't believe the wahoo blower/fan is $250, uses your HR signal for it's PWM controller. Pretty techy but dang expensive.
Either case, the fan or tv will likely be the loudest part of the setup, WAAAAAY upgrade to my old performance fluid trainer from 2003 or something. Bought it for warm up at MTB races.
