So a little over a week ago I installed blender on my computer and after learning the basics of the user interface I decided that the first thing I would try to model would be an Emerson Universal Series aka. Heat Fan aka Blender fan. I did it as a brown and brass version for bit of fun and I like that color combination. The model has a k55 motor, with plastic blades that are shaped like the fiberglass ones. I have done many different versions of the fan. 52 Universal series with 2-12 blades except for 7 and 11 blade versions (as 7 and 11 don't divide evenly into 360 degrees)  did Emerson ever do a 3 blade 52 with switch housing, ive seen 3 blade 36s with one but never a 52 other than one that i fitted it on myself   not a fan of 5 blade fans but I did a 5 blade version anyway  I do like 6 blade fans though     this is one up on big ass fans they only have 10 blades  I also did a 36 universal series with 4 blades  and 52 in heat fans with 2-4 blades  this one is dan's favorite  this is a lot like the really early k63s but with a k55  and just for fun here's a 4 blade 52 with the blades spaced like an X, like on some old gm radiator fans rather than like a +  and Finally a close up of the flywheel area in wireframe  Enjoy and expect renders of other models of fans in the future. |

That's a little more complicated than this fan but still a fairly simple one, so it will probably be coming soon, also the sears Emerson spinner le fan spinner (the hard part of the FD will be modeling the drive but I can render the outside with out that)

Funny thing is I don't think there is a ceiling fan the exists that exceeds 6 blades other than those ugly "Big Ass Fans", or at least I've never seen one.. Anything more than 6 blades in my opinion is just too much.. Great designs...

I hate more than 6 blades.
I'd love these more K63, and more still with no switch housing, but that's just my preference!

Great designs... 72" Harbor Breeze that has either 8 or 10 blades, I can't remember which the harbor breeze has 9 blades, looks rather turbine like I hate more than 6 blades. I'd love these more K63, and more still with no switch housing, but that's just my preference! no switch housing is easy, k63 will take a litte longer but still easy, just a lightly bigger motor that has rounded end bells might have a k63 one byt the end of the week end |

I can't imagine those putting out more air than a standard ceiling fan.. Blades look to be very thin.. That's just too much...

I can't imagine those putting out more air than a standard ceiling fan.. Blades look to be very thin.. That's just too much... The Levon is rated under 6000 CFM... in other words, no better than your regular 52" fan by today's standards. I wonder how it would do with only 4 blades installed. |

Which equals out to one massive obstacle.. |
