SUPER INTERESTING AND SUCH INTIRICATE DETAILS IN THE MAKING 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

(Small) Update on the GE 'Newline' today...

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...

Sporting a GEMERSON test blade, but will make it

an appropriate 'Newline' blade as the build continues..

..this is mostly METAL construction.

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...Blade update:

Using a green bottle, and my NO GLUE process from earlier:

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

Had to use a more powerful motor to turn it!

(Central most hub uses special UV cure glue)

Blades however, remain Glue free.

Size compare:

(A real Toshiba 14" blade)

Green blade I just made about 7.5"

Smaller light aqua blue is about 4"

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...The source!

...I seemingly will never run out of blade material...

...plastic is everywhere, and it's FREE.

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

Testing... Works well, motor needs more juice though.

Estimated max: 12 volts.

[Chris Jacobsen]

Very nice models!

[Tom Zapf]

JUST GO TO THE SEASHORE AND YOU WILL FIND PLENTY OF PLASTIC FREE, AND ALREADY GREEN TOO!  I LOVE WATCHING YOUR TINY HOUSE FANS GROW AND DEVELLOP!

..my NO GLUE blade process...

But where does the hub/ spider come from???🤔

Answer:

USED motor armature laminations.

Salvaged junk gets a second use...

..as blades,

..decorative vents,

...hubs, spiders...

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...Something's missing..?

My other junk pile,

this time containing mostly salvaged 1:24 "chrome" wheels.

Find, adapt and apply a selected wheel.

Results:

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...Last one for now:

GE Quiet Blade,

Vintage style. 🤔💡

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...Newly made blades:

Many types...

Sears (Vernco), Toshiba, 3-blade light blue,

Westinghouse Semi translucent.

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...Logo in the works...

..need a simple YET, recognizable Logo...

Starting to build "Gemerson" fans of late 60's- early 1990's style.

Here's a 1970's Green 3-blade version.

"GEmerson:

a fusion of GE and Emerson Electric..."

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...So many made, but which one to proceed with?

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

Trying on an early test badge:

...A peek at proposed final badge logo...

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...To make this work, I must transfer the near final

proposed badge/ logo to a stamp setup.

This logo stamp would have to be completely made

from scratch, once I make a successful Master Copy,

A final version can be easily and quickly reproduced.

[Bejon A. Boranian]

Last one for now:

The GEMERSON logo / badge (Vintage type)

(Near final version, cleaned up a bit)

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...Continued improvement on my GEMERSON logo:

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...other proposed versions and variants:

"GEMERSON blade and bulb logo"

would be a more detailed type.

The others are very simple in design.

Thanks. 

..I am actively expanding my blade types.

...

...However, sometimes I do Not have success...

PICS below shows my attempt at a "modern" blade set.

It's... Not good 🙁

 

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...Improved GEMERSON blades:

Purple color is NEW.

More Powerful, yet quiet airflow.

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...GE "Radicooler" (Defunct)

Now in GREEN:

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...Lastly,

An experimental type EMERSON blade.

"...1970s advertising blade set.

..Promoting the "NEW" version of Emerson's older generation blade."
