When talking about a fan one usually has images of blades swirling around and chopping through the air trying to move air and refresh it. Someone thought it might be time to do it differently though and the innovative fan was born.
The invention of the Round Bladeless Fan has been recognized by Time magazine and has in fact been declared winner of the magazine's well-known 'Best Inventions' award. This unique fan employs the same technology as that is used in jet engines to produce a cooling flow of air without any blades turning and spinning.. It is a great fan to have with children in the house as you don't run the risk of them putting objects or even their fingers in the unforgiving blades.
This bladeless wind movement is made possible by a turbine inside the fan's base which pulls in air and then pushes it upwards to the hollow circular amplifier. Air is then released through a slot that is only one millimeter wide along the entire border of the loop amplifier and across an airfoil-shaped incline angled at 16 degrees.
By making use of the ideologies of incentive and entrainment, the bladeless fan pulls air from behind and from the length of the sides into the stream of air, thus producing maximum speed of air. This is how the fan generates a smooth, continuous flow of air which is different from conventional blade fans that cut into the air in unmatched, irregular bouts.
There is a dial on the bladeless fan that can be turned to facilitate smooth, incessant modification of air speed. The bladeless fan has a base of five and a half inches which lets it sit quietly and inconspicuously on a desk in an office or on a table at home. The fan swings at angle of 90 degrees and it can be moved up or down by up to 10 degrees.
