I for one think that these should get a completely different name to describe them - other than super-industrial-type settings (i.e., a cooling silo), I really don't see much use for a fan that's roughly the diameter of a small SUV. Yet I've seen several places (and even some homes!) have them installed, and so far, everyone I've seen seems to like them. Yet I know that somehow, something bad will happen... I think...
Anyhow, what do you think of these monstrosities? (no pun intended)

IMO they're less cost effective than good quality conventional industrial ceiling fans. And all the ones I've seen have had frequent repair issues.

Oh, and I imagine that they could easily be dangerous if someone got too close to them while they were running...

I've only seen them in person once and it was in a Wal-Mart in Jacksonville, NC. IMO they don't really seem practical, at least aesthetically, outside of a warehouse setting.

They do a very good job of circulating large areas . . . but they're expensive to buy, expensive to run, and expensive to maintain.

Expensive and a PITA. And more often then not I see them ending up non-functional.
Maybe as the technology becomes more familiar they will become more reliable.
