[DeTomaso] Cooling fan light

[Dave Londry]

If a diode is to be the solution, then a Schottky diode reduces that 
loss to 3-4% compared to the 10% of a silicon diode.
They cost a lot more, but that's $0.75 instead of $0.07
That would be SBX3040-3G 
<https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/diotec-semiconductor/SBX3040-3G/13154204> 
for 30A fan current and 40V reverse-voltage blocking.
That's just one example of hundreds.

When it comes to Panteras and electrical wisdom, I will defer to Jon Haas as the
 final authority.

If you read the benefits of his fan controller, as listed on his website, you wi
ll find the following:

may improve fan performance, Jon says otherwise.
