Nope...the idea of a pusher fan hadn't entered my brain.

Oh! But turning the fan around wouldn't change the way the air flows. I used to work on generator sets so I was familiar with stationary engines having pusher fans.

I used to play with Capsela toys about 1/4 century ago and I quickly learned that turning a propeller around made no difference on which way the boat moved.

Could it be one reverse rotating half of a marine engine set, and that the car is set up for going backwards only?
Also, you have to remeber that they do drive on the left side in SA, no wonder the fans rotate different... 8)

Me too—I loved Capsela! On the birthday when my folks gave me the enormous Capsela 1000 set, I stayed up until all hours of the night putting stuff together.
