Just gorgeous in motion! Was very excited to see your post on Facebook, it's awesome to finally see something like this enter our neck of the woods here. Both you and Tais have provided tremendous insight regarding fans outside of North America over the years, and while not everyone has always paid attention, I would like to recognize that. I've seen a lot of neat things that I wouldn't have otherwise known about. I never thought I would be one of the first person posting a Marelli here. There should be another video showing the other speeds later on this year. It's seems that people are really not interested about European, South American and some Asia fans here or they just don't have much to say about them. If I knew there was going to be a forum like this about fans I would have took pictures of all the fans I saw in Tchad when I used to live there and also on my trips to France and Cameroon.

Here is the top of the extension pole where we can see the rubber wheel I made with plumbing washers and electric tape. I was able to create a little hollow in the center with washers of different sizes. We can see the metallic capacitor on the left.

The motor operates regardless of polarity. I am well aware.. The question was in what way does the reversal of polarity negatively effect the motor's performance?

Here is the tag on top of the motor that was covered in paint. The Apel USE label is seen on the right. I found it very special when I discovered it's rated at dual voltage although it really is meant for 220 volts. Notice how it mentions the amount of air it moves on the bottom right. We don't see that often on fans's tag.

That is interesting, I don't think I've ever seen the tag on a ceiling fan display the airflow before

It's pretty rare. I think I have seen it only on fans of the mid 20th century.
