A house-sized bridge crane to move the ceiling fan(s) where
needed. Could be cranes in every room. Controls are the
typical hanging kind. Wish the fan was just a little further
that way? Bridge crane.

Isn't the roof going to be in the way? If you mean
one crane for each room, it's easier to figure out the
benefits. |
|
| |
Having one in each room means one hardly needs the
fan(s); just have the crane move air around with a
fixed wing. |

[cudgel], did we ever satisfactorily answer the question of whether or not you're a Jack Vance fan ? |

[csea] A bridge crane has nothing to interfere with the roof.
See link.
[normzone] I had to look up the author you noted to see
who he was. |

I would add that this would be good for ceiling mounted
televisions and more. Slowly moving the tv away from your
bed would work for a lazy mans alarm clock. |

This idea could also be used to move walls, appliances, etc.
Let your imagination go. |

A quad-ceiling-fan-crane? |

Justin Bieber ? Oh, no, he's only got two fans now... |
