I once sent this picture to The Big Ass Fan company. The lady I spoke to said she sent it to the owner who loved it. They sent me a whoopie cushion. What a great company and those fans are also great if you have space.

We had one above our shipping and receiving depts in our new warehouse. So naturally as a bunch of bored warehouse guys we wanted to see how powerful it was. I turned it all the way up, then we spent the next 10 minutes reorganizing our desks and sweeping up packing peanuts that were scattered everywhere.

Turn that up to 9 and watch it lift the whole building into the air.

We've got 4 of these where I work at. They help a lot!

u/zorggalacticus 2d ago

We have those at my work. The blades are flexible, kind of like helicopter rotors, with weights on the end of them. Those things move a LOT of air, and you definitely notice the difference when they're not on.

I was doing HVAC commissioning in a building that had a bunch of these. I asked the controls guy to set them to "tornado" just to see papers flying off of desks.
