Sporting a GEMERSON test blade, but will make it

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

..this is mostly METAL construction.

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"

...The source!

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

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

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

Estimated max: 12 volts.

..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...

...Something's missing..?

My other junk pile,

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

Find, adapt and apply a selected wheel.

Results:

...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..."

...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.

Last one for now:

The GEMERSON logo / badge (Vintage type)

(Near final version, cleaned up a bit)

...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 🙁
