Wow, that is so... chill!

It really makes a lot of wind! What an interesting MOC.

I like the little comic and the movie.

Keep up the good work!

This is so cool (Cool! Do you get it? Oh never mind)

It's always great to see people make practical things using technic. Good job.

To Plural: Yes it's very "cool" when i tested the result.And also i have made other practical things like a hamster wheel,a yoyo anda spinning top with a Beyblade(an anime)style.Check at my video list in Youtube.

I made a Technic and System hybrid fan once but it was not motorized, it had a lot of gears and spun fast enough to throw pieces off.

Nice model, and equally nice presentation. What motor are you using there? I've tried to make such fans in the past, but they never turned out powerful enough to blow any significant amount of air. Although the last time I tried building such a fan was probably 10 years ago, when we only had the old, ungeared 9V motors that are much weaker than the various modern motors.

To filefolders:Wow ,your model sounds interesting,why not post it here to let us see?Also,when i tested the fan at the first time,it spins so fast that throws the yellow wind blades almost instantly,to strenthen the blades,i put some more technic pieces(sorry i don't know the specific name.But you can see it though the pictures)

To CP5760:Thanks for your comments and i used the 8287 Motor Box as the motor.

Yes, it's pretty neat. Thanks to gears, every time the crank is spun 360* the fan blades spin 125 times, I beleive.

What an awesome fact! but does it really produce wind?

That´s a very impressive and, um, just cool work indeed, Blitz.

The video´s also very nice, with some neat music.... I almost thought I passed the right floor....

Your fan works also pretty smooth, filefolders, nice work too.
