It wasn't a big change. I tried to do minimum damage to the exsting
structure. Have not had a change to look at your new code; however
going back to the 0.9.9 release:
plugged in a new engine model for a fan based more on physics and
theromdynamics, not perfect but not bad either.

Heh. I expected someone to say that!
Actually I consider it more of a video card / driver problem. Very

errors. But otherwise I don't see a real problem.
