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:

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.

 

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

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.

...Had a few days off (finally-!)

...been busy...

...PICS:

Remember, no need for waste, I recycle and build out of

trash/ scrap/ whatever is laying around.

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...Yep, LAMP fans (coming soon).

Decorative lamp covers are extracted from

Plastic bowls / cups I got for $1.

PICS:

...Some ideas:

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...Now ideas are one thing...

...

...To realize is another...

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

...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:

 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

Shown running: 9volt maximum,

but is variable between 1.5-9v).

A few more up-close PICS of central hub...

...

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.

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW! YOU HAVE ENDLESS PATIENCE ! 

[Bejon A. Boranian]

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.
