Install large helicopter engine on the ceiling with a suspended helicopter blade - and crank it up to full blast. This will thoroughly circulate and cool the air in any room no matter how stuffy or stagnant.

So this is just a ceiling fan as designed by TIm Allen? |

Hmmm...how about the blades and sound dampeners from a stealth helicopter? Oh wait. It's not the heat, it's the humidity anyways... |

This will also deafen anyone within thirty feet. (Most of the sound you hear from a helicopter is produced by the tail rotor; that's the one broadcasting horizontally. Given that that much sound is made by a relatively small rotor, imagine how much sound the main rotor produces.) |
|
| |
Not to mention the fact that a rotor blade that can blow downward with enough power to lift a many ton aircraft would flatten people to the floor. |

StarChaser has a good point; it would have to come with a really big selection of paperweights, not to mention furnitureweights, peopleweights, etc. You'd most likely soon have a cyclone in your room. |

When the weather is at its worst, retract the ceiling and fly to a more reasonable hemisphere. Put it in reverse to be rid of irritating houseguests. Chop vegetables for decadent-Rome-scale salads. All of these possibilities and still not a good idea. |

CasaLoco: Consider that a helicopter's engine is powerful enough to lift a ten ton helicopter <Weight taken from a webpage, for the AH-6 Apache, 21,000 pounds> and move it at 180 mph, by blowing air downward. |
|
| |
Now, imagine that same airstream blowing downward in an enclosed room, instead of in free airspace. |

You do know you can never get the room cooler than the outdoor temperature this way, right? All a ceiling fan does is help sweat evaporate off your body, cooling you down a bit. Does remind me of high volume low speed fans though. I'll post a link if I can find it. |

If we're going to go ahead and take this seriously, better to
hang a hovercraft from the ceiling than half a helicopter.
Better area coverage, no risk of decapitation, and you'll
still get that desirable eardrum-fracturing effect. Let me
know how that works out. |
