counter-rotating ceiling fan

Hampton Bay Pilot II counter-rotating ceiling fan remote 3 speed reversible, dimnmer light. Home Depot.

I think it works much better than a regular fan, more even airflow. Quite tall 1 foot, so it needs a 9 foot high ceiling at least, I would guess.

what if guests get motion sickness from looking at it

@leotigerman86. they are variable speed, prolly triac controlled. The upper fan will meet different >< air resistance than the lower, so different speed.

@MrSleepyguy Fly away, little ceiling fan...fly away! ;)

[dslgunner1977]

@MrSleepyguy I truly does! If you just de-focus, then you actually "tell" your mind that, rather than making a 360 degree rotation, the blades are moving back and forth - it actually will start to give the illusion of a flapping motion. I remember seeing one of these fans in person, and thinking it was such a unique fan!

@MisterLEM0NS Very well put!

"Over complicated for the job it's doing" is exactly the type of stuff that I always find fascinating! ;)

It kind of reminds me of a bird flapping its wings :)

Ive always wanted to fill my house with things just like this. Those ddesk nick knacks like neutans cradle, clocks with the mechanisms on the outside. Stuff that is over complicated for the job its doing but still works is the best stuff
