According to Wikipedia: “A ceiling fan is a mechanical fan, usually electrically powered, suspended from the ceiling of a room, that uses hub-mounted rotating paddles to circulate air. Casablanca Fan Co. ceiling fan from the early 1980s. A ceiling fan rotates much more slowly than an electric desk fan; it cools people effectively by introducing slow movement into the otherwise still, hot air of a room, inducing evaporative cooling. Fans never actually cool air, unlike air-conditioning equipment, but use significantly less power.”
From a technical point of view, the fewer the blades, the more efficient the fan is because the other blades will cause turbulence when spinning. Having said that, a 1 blade fan doesn’t look that great, not even a ‘futuristic alien’ like fan. Please don’t buy those ceiling fans with lights, remote controls, direction feature and whatnot. That’s like wearing a shirt full of pockets and a pen holder on the sleeves – Ugly.

Hi!
I’m living in Canada (Quebec), and yes we have ceiling fans! In fact, there’s a lots of ceiling fan everywhere in Canada… Even thought our country is really cold, we have really humid summers and having something to cool off is “necessary*. I’m sure it’s not as bad as malaysia, but here we just have so much stuff to deal with heat… AC, pools everywhere, ceiling fans, geothermic pump… and so on…
elmark do carry the sycamore ceiling fan stock
I am interested in a retro belt driven fan or the Windmill Ceiling Fan looks great- can you tell me options -price and availability?
Hi Flynn, we do not sell the fan.
