>Unfortunately that is directional isn't it? TTYL Actually there is a form of Venturi tube that does not require a static port and is not directional. It is called a chimney usually. I happen to know that someone once made an automatic device for wood fired chimneys that sensed the draft in the chimney and closed a vane if it was cold and too strong. It was mechanical (including the temperature sensor == bimetal device). Peter -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
