This product exudes all the ambiance of ordinary fans but has none of their disadvantages. Its movement and low hum means you feel cool and refreshed (dare one say ”placebo”?) while being quieter, using less energy and causing no drafts. Chill out with models ranging from flat desk fans to oscillating,
flat ceiling fans.

//...has none of their disadvantages//
Or advantages. |

Blades need to be angled, so as to provide thrust, otherwise, when the shit hits the fan, it'll just go sideways. |
|
| |
Or thin little chips, for that matter. |
|
| |
I voted + because this is a cool idea. |
|
| |
Crazy pills: yep--this site'll do that to you. (A center for ants?) bwv: what??? |
|
| |
Great! I can't even vote on this one, or I would upset the lack of angle! |
|
| |
[contracts] This fan does have a function. It doesn't cool but is.
Cool, that is. |
|
| |
It has über-stylish Ikea-type design written all over it.
I wonder where [FJ] comes from...
;-) |
|
| |
strangely enough, Jin, it will probably have a name like - Nej Bris. |
|
| |
IKEA is not uber stylish. IKEA is cheap-o della crappo. |
|
| |
[po]: Yup. But I can't really comment because the user names of many HB people (mine included) could be IKEA furniture names. |
|
| |
Fair enough [phundug]- some/most/all IKEA stuff can be cheap and nasty. But the airy design that they try and sell is what I am meaning. Kind of futuristic, yet made out of 5p of recycled plastic - and thats just the double bed. |
|
| |
I swear I saw an angle-poise lamp called po |
|
| |
[FJ], it would need little strips of paper which are held out by wires, and shaken, to complete the effect. |
|

<obligatory title misreading> "Fat Flan"! - Mmmmmm! </obligatory title misreading> |

I love the 'Rick's Cafe' feeling that ceiling fans give out, but I live in England which is somewhat cooler than Casablanca for twelve or so months of the year. As I don't like being cold, it looks like [FJ] has found the solution for me. |
|
| |
Speaking of cool, is [hippo] a hip version of [po]? |
|
| |
[Ling] Nice touch :)
I'm sure the paper strips on ceiling vents are actually wire-shaken. |
|
| |
Somebody tell me - would this still effect my voice so that it sounds cool when I put my face really close to the fan and talk? |
|
| |
Thanks World - I knew I could count on somebody. |
|
| |
I've always relied on the kindness of 'bakers...(+) |
|
| |
Brünnhilde approves the Zen fan. |
|
| |
[contracts] I dunno this could be a *cool* way to slice cheese. |
|
| |
people waste energy on decoration all the time, why not a decorative fan? i personally like my air standing still. you could also make it solar powered, so buying it was a waste but using it isnt |
|
| |
Nearly baked. I have a not-inexpensive Hunter brand ceiling fan that was billed as being very quiet. To achieve the advertised level of quietness, it employs a simple engineering trick. It moves practically no air. It can be yours at a reasonably low price. |

Paint the blades black and white, and you get a tiny draft caused by the difference of color, and photons pushing forward. |
