Once you stall the blower, there's no airflow to cool the motor, and it
will overheat relatively quickly.
If you plot the product of air flow and backpressure you should get a graph
that's roughly parabolic, and ideally you'd want to operate near the peak
of the curve and above your minimum required backpressure.
