Adding CPU fan to incubator - question

[quiltnchik]

When adding a CPU fan to a still-air incubator, which direction should the fan blow? Does it blow down on the eggs or upward? I know this may sound like a stupid question, but I'm getting conflicting info and want to make sure before my son adds it to my incubator.

Thanks!

I just put one in my bator. Ideally it should blow across the heat source. If that's already in, no problems, the air will circulate regardles. I put mine on the back wall facing forward towards the front of the bator. And I have to add that adding a fan has significantly increased my development!

Thanks Chicky! This is going in an LG still-air and we were planning on putting it in the top, where their accessory fan would go. I'm just not willing to pay $50 for theirs, when I have a free CPU fan here

Should we mount it there or somewhere else in the 'bator?

Well yes, yes after googling the LG Still air, I would definately place it where the fan goes in that specific bator.
Here's a great link that I found about maybe what you have?
