I repeat, I had one. But my finger got caught in there. Did serious damage to the fan and left a lot of blood on the floor. These motors have some real power.
When you said move, I thought you were referring to the fact that it didn't jump with the rotation of the motor.
I had one of these fans and it did have a good amount of heft to it. As you probably know, there are other factors involved such as the surface the fan rests on, the amount of contact area between the two surfaces, static pressure, and air volume etc. Put this fan on a boy scout's pine wood derby car with ball bearing wheels and it will move.
I might want to post a video on my fastest fan. I put a 540 HO R/C motor on a computer fan... Its really inefficient, but it pushes a hell of a lot of air.
@SilentKnights If a fan doesn't make enough air to move itself, it is not that great of a fan... I know its not going on an airplane, and I am sure Its a nice fan, but the title says, "very high speed." If it were going "very" fast, wouldn't it push enough air to move the fan? It has nothing to do with torque. Trust me. Ive been in engineering since I was like 17 years old. Now I have a couple custom fans that push so much air they are hard to hold onto, so I know what a very fast fan is.
It didn't move because there two counter rotating fan blades which cancel out any sort of torque movement. Years back, I used to have one of these fans and they really blow a ton of air.
@SilentKnights cool.

Not much of a fan. It didn't even move.

u must be CRAZY to have such a fan .... even if u fit 2 of them on ur chassis (e.g Noctua D14) it will probably FLY literally out of ur window!
