The National desk fan is one the only fans (full size) that

seem intentionally built from factory with glowing 'option'. 🤔

seem to glow brightly, very reactive...

...Speaking of National desk fans, 

Some National electric fans were marketed under the "Hoover" brand.

The mini Hoover logo has been added to my logo library...

aluminum foil, red color with heat treatment process.

...Trying a "NEW" method today...

The HOT Steam method...

A Cylinder.

Goal: must turn into a cylinder shape.

...Just be VERY careful...

This one burst and went rocketing across the kitchen!! 😵

Compressed steam, very powerful...

PICS:

..Shown is the aftermath, you can see the exit points

where HOT pressurized steam went rocketing out.

This one is not usable for blades,

But can be melted down/ casted into fan parts.
