Perhaps you should clarify by what you mean by "build" the fan. Are you
going to wind the armature and make a motor? Or are you looking for blade
designs? |

Thanls Ed I should have been more clear. I would like to use an existing fan
motor and mount but i would like to make my own fan blades.I was going to
build a wooden body to hide the motor but still allowing it to cool itself.
As for the blades ,same thickness ,spacing , pitch and harmonic balance
comes into play, this is where I'm lost. I like the old wooden airplane
propeller design,again any help would be useful.
The wood that flew out of my lathe last winter and struck me in the chest,
is still bouncing around in the basement. I'm not to keen on the getting
hit with a homemade fan blade.

You prolly already know this - but the blades on all my fans are flat. Are
you "bent" on carving a true propeller shape? |
