how do u take a fan out of its housing i mean the whole thing out of the plastic part, so it operationable without the houseing, is there a way?
 
If I understand your question correctly, there is no way to run the fan motor and be stable without the casing. the case holds the fan motor, basically making them a single unit.
 
you can simply cut the hub struts to the housing
but you will need to reatach the hub to something
the motor is in both the hub and the "fan"
if the hub isnt fixed, both it and the fan would spin, until they contacted something that is then one or the other would spin
 
Also, the casing is there to help increase airflow. There's a reason it's shaped like a venturi, after all.
 
very true

my first thought was to cut off the hub
so you could remount it in a longer venturi

since the hub creates a "blindspot" anyway making the support inline with it wouldnt hurt the airflow and then fly support strut off of it further from the fan

of course thats making everything bigger sort of the opposite of what most people want to do :p
