The Stir Plate Project

I’ve posted a small write up on my homemade stir plate project on my basement brewing blog. Here is a quick video of it.

   Hi Jeff, I ran into your stir plate creation surfing about. I’m interested in the stir plate technology for a different application than brewing. I’m not versed in electrical or magenetic science. If you have time, maybe you have a feel for whether what I want to do is feasible.
   I want to run a very light aluminum fan blade inside of a metal enclosure, but I don’t want a hole through the enclosure itself (for a motor shaft). I was wondering if a stirrer could be attached to a very light fan blade and caused to rotate magnetically rather than be shaft connection. Since the magnet that is used in a typical stir plate application is beneath a metal plate and separate from the metal stir rod by at least glass and that metal plate, I’m assuming that it would work, but am interested in your opinion.
   Thanks
   Jeff Hale
