it's just a 10€ bathroom fan propped up on cardboard legs under the radiator & a cardboard cowl on top...- and it seems to kinda work, which makes me wonder why the only "radiator booster" fan kits I can find are cheapo Temu crap; I'd think there'd be an actual market for this

@jwcph I'm using 140mm fans covering the entire depth of the T33 radiators here. They are controlled with the #OpenSource Heatmeister controller. It can lower the water temperature used for heating a lot.

I did find this locally available one, thought it's battery powered & rechargeable & I'm generally not crazy about even more things to recharge - pretty cheap, though, maybe I'll try it: https://www.jemogfix.dk/radiatorventilator-mgenopladeligt-batteri-grad/7131/9079873/

@aserramonner @gijs Noise is definitely an issue... I mean, it has to move a significant amount of air & doing so quietly isn't just a matter of motor noise
my kludge definitely isn't silent
