I’ve been following this thread for a while and I have to say I’m throughly impressed with how passionate you are about these keep it up! Also have you at all considered trying to upscale these into bigger fans?

Thank-you.

I have made fans at the following scales over the years:

1:3 scale (my largest)

1:4 scale

1:6 scale

1:10

1:12 (Popular Dollhouse scale size)

1:24 (Tiny size)

1:36 (In the works... Coming Soon).

Now for fans at 1:1 scale, 

I would need a Time Machine... 

Meanwhile, in present time:

🐱😻🐈😎

You know, I often wondered if a Westinghouse

would work with just 2 "Air injector" Rings...

Last I checked, they made one with as few as 3.

...This is the proposed structure:

i agree with Alex, I too have been following this thread and the parts produced are amazing . 

Thanks, here's another one of -many- fans I would like to build:

KMC HV Air Circulator.

(No, from what I gather, they never made one...) 🤔

PICS:

Proposed design, 2 types, Both with front mounted control.

Unique double pole stand on each.

The blade was sourced from a scrapped camping fan thing.

Motor equipped is 3 pole armature, 9Volt max power.

Moves much more air now, rather quiet as well.

Ah, but see, sometimes ya just gotta build you're own.

Mine VS. The Original camping fan thing blade.

PICS:

Smooth running AND (surprisingly) it's REVERSIBLE.

Probably best as a Box fan blade or reversible Air Circulator???

Lots of options with this blade.

...6-piece construction... Ugh...

...Spindle, hub, 3 individual blades

and 1 decorative chrome center = 6-piece.

Unified by light cure glue, which is transparent.

PICS:

Design so far:

Blade inspired by the huge WESTINGHOUSE circulator fans.

Only, mine rotates Clockwise.

Also, some elements of TATUNG (by Westinghouse) fans.

Lastly, elements of KDK/ National Radio fans included.

So...

...I finally have some free time again...

...and I got to thinking...

"EMERSON Seabreeze"

But only... it's 1989-1996...

...It's fun to imagine. 🤔😎

PICS:

Not much, but the basic idea is there.

Blade is translucent plastic.

Virtual model shown: "Seabreeze" Pedestal fan.
