Another video of a Cooling Tower running. I used my "Beater Kodak" C340 that I keep in my tool bag. Not a bad camera but it doesn't have a very high video sampling rate so the fan blades look like they are barely rotating although they are most likely rotating at about 1,000 RPM's. This will happen with ANY typical camera but would not be as noticeable with a high end camera. However, I don't keep my BEST Camera's in my tool bag to abuse. :)

After the first few seconds of video the motor shuts down and the fans slow down to a stop.
