This is a remix of furnace.wav by daveincamas.I love the metallic click and the winding-up of the fan motor. I wanted that same click and a winding-down at the end.So I cut out the "gas" part in the middle, copied the click to the point where the fan shuts off, copied, reversed, and "stretched" the winding-up (a fan would take longer to wind down than to wind up). Then I copied and pasted the middle section on top of itself a couple of times to length it. (It's like bologna; it can be sliced anywhere). This is what I ended up with.Imagine this: Our hero has finally cornered the villain. Mr. Bad Guy starts to "monologue". "It's useless, Mr. Smart (or Mr. Bond or Mr. West)! Once I throw this switch, my Disgruntifier will activate and soon the entire city will be destroyed! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!"He throws the switch and a fight ensues. Eventually over the drone of the Disgruntifier and action-filled music, Mr. Smart/Bond/West emerges victorious and throws the switch to the "off" position just in the nick of time. (The middle section can be copied and pasted to be as long or short as the fight demands it.)Nice effect. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great remix of the original! Came in very handy for the sound of a computer going crazy and exploding.
