Making a Bladeless Wooden Fan - Scrapwood Challenge ep38

[@PaskMakes]

I 'm pinning this comment just to address the use of a fan with blades. I didn't name this style of fan 'Bladeless" but it seems very obvious to me why it would be called that, any issue with that seems trivial to me (some comments have even included vulgarities over this point, you just need to chill out a little). If you bought a Dyson fan you would never know it had blades inside so would it matter if it did when you found out? I don't think so, it's still the same fan with no visible blades. Also how else would anyone think these fans move air, Magic? :)

[@megagadgetmad2]

Pask Makes if you look at the fans they use impellers which is basically a bladed fan

[@gonzos-twin]

Just like apple users......they get angry when you point out the obvious

[@davidwilkie9551]

For "giving it a go" it's a total success. I wondered if the gizzards of a small vacuum cleaner, used as a higher than fan pressure, blower, to get around the flow restrictions..? It doesn't need it unless you like to extend the challenge a bit.

[@CelticSemperTyrannis]

@@mikerotchurts1103 well a Dyson fan is around $300.00. So, I would say a hand crafted one that took two days to build, which I'll guess is about 16 hours of work at $30.00 an hour would be $480.00 + the wee fan we'll say is $20.00. That puts us at $800.00 for a conservative price add another $200.00 to round it up to a solid 1K I think would be a fair estimate.

[@supahx1421]

[@tj_enju]

@@mikerotchurts1103 this is a fair question and I can see some situations where this goes for well over 1000 USD, espcially when you request it to be handcrafted with select woods and engravings with specail messages.. but If it is just a straight build I would price it as if a custom made standard size chess set would be priced.. most of which are less than $100 USD, I would say $50-70 USD before costs of delivery and before cost of materials used(not including the shop tools)

[@aserta]

Figure that you're using your router at, roughly 10 20 % of it can do. Some of the jigs i've seen in the chair in industry alone, can blow your mind. One router, and you can make an entire chair, using each specific jig, no sanding, no double fitting, probably 10 13 different bits. Routers are incredibly versatile AND pliable to any task you give them if you think outside the box. Add in variable speed control and you're going places. :))

[@kennmossman8701]

@@ConstantlyDamaged The air flows through the channel in the pedestal, through a curved path, and comes out from small 16mm slits around the frame of the fan at a 16-degree angle slope. You may think that this just causes air to blow in the shape of the surface area of a cylinder, but because of the physical laws of inducement and entrainment, this allows for the surrounding air to also become drawn in from multiple areas around the fan. In other words, picture your TV weather map; a small low-pressure region is created which actually draws the air in from behind it, like a forming tropical storm. This simultaneous push and pull of air creates a quiet, even, constant flow of cool breeze.

Holy shit! This dude just made a Dyson fan out of wood. Skill level is at 3000! Great work my friend!

[@tigerzero5216]

I agree. I'm impressed with his wood working skill. (Oh, keep in mind. It was all done with scrap wood, which is the main point of the video. Don't waste the wood.) Also he revealed something about the marketed products claims it is a blade-less fan. That is false. It just looks that way. A traditional fan is in the base and you can't see it. So it looks fan less. I use to think those products did what they did by electrically charging the air alternately to make it flow. Give the air a positive charge and the next chamber would have an opposite charge. The air would move towards it. Now that the air is mostly negatively charged, have a positively charged chamber to attract that air and it an move it along to the next one. It could be done that way. But really. They have a very quiet fan in the base.

[@tigerzero5216]

@Red Pilled Fox "Wizardry" Exactly right. Kind of fits in with fake news/advertizement. Hehe. I bet it could be done though. A device that moves air with literally no moving parts. But it would probably take a lot of energy to do it. Just buy the 20 dollar fan instead of the 120+ dollar fan. They both do the same job.

[@tigerzero5216]

I'm replying to my own comment. I loved the craftsmanship you did. Fantastic work. That wood work was spot on. The best part of it was how it showed those blade-less fans were not truly blade-less.

if you do look into using a pc fan, they come in 2 verities, one is for "high airflow" where there is no pressure difference, these are just good at moving air where there is no pressure difference to worry about.. the other is "static pressure" which is good for pushing air through constricted spaces, as they are better for overcoming differences in air pressure. i suspect the latter will be better for your purposes.

I'm impressed by this build, it looks so beautiful... For all the halfwits out there, it is indeed considered a bladeless fan because there is the word "fan" in there, it simply means there isn't a blade where it's supposed to be. Although if you want something that doesn't have blades but moves air, it wouldn't be a "fan" at all. You would need an ion wind device that could move air with electricity.

It all certainly took more time than expected but turned out great and it brought a lot of happiness to finally make something! I would recommend just starting something, anything! It's really never too late.

[@patrikwihlke4170]

To clarify on my post, keep your day job but start as a hobby as mentioned by others. If you really want to do more of it in the end you can become a carpenter. There are no age restrictions or education required as long as you do a good job of it.

I wonder... If you tied a paper/model plane to a string and fed the string through the fan, would the plane just hover? You'd need a well designed plane most likely.

[@kele1264]

First time I've seen your channel. This was amazing. I watched because I knew I would discover exactly how a "bladeless" fan works. I love woodwork, and conserving resources, so this tics all the boxes for me. I think your fan is a beautiful work of art. I wish I had the tools and the skills to do this myself. Dyson's got nothing on you. I would rather have your beautiful scrap wood fan than their sleek modern product. Thank you very much for sharing this project on video.

[@ryanfreese2031]

Very satisfying to watch this wood work. Dude has good wood working skills. With all those skills and tools could easily make wood stave snare drums. Beautiful finish on that wood fan. Would definitely buy one.

Do I care if a "bladeless" fan uses hidden fan blades or impeller blades? No. All I need and want from a fan is the ability to push a lot of air preferably at me. I clicked on this video because I subscribe to the maker's channel and the picture shown was a thing of beauty. After viewing the entire video from beginning to end I am left thinking four things: 1. This build most definitely did not disappoint. 2. The maker truly has the patience and determination required for the completion of such a project, especially with all the fiddly bits involved. 3. The finished product is almost too pretty to be utilitarian. 4. That workshop must smell amazing when the wood is being turned on the lathe.

[@RandallFencer]

Well done, I like the balance of safety and "get it done" and the speeding up of the tedious parts while still giving the sense of just how much time went into the project.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting a great video!!! Thanks, also, for showing the safety appliences you built, to do tiny work safely! That was kewl, the way you made that jig to do the slots with! Keep on! You show GENIOUS ! Here's a little trick, to add to your little bag of tricks...when you're final sizing for fit, drape a piece of 320 grit emory cloth/paper; around the article to fit. Then, place it where it's going and use the whole thing like a sanding block. It comes near to perfect very quickly! You said you didnt have a tool to do the inside front corner...take an old heavy duty phillips cabinet screwdriver, that's shot, (stripped) and weld a piece of 1/4" thick steel on the end and grind it to look like you want the tip to look like. Then weld a flat plate, for the tool rest. Remember, if you have an offset, the sideways torque will need to be dealt with, by putting a flange on your handle to prevent twisting out of your grip and digging material. Get it like you want it and put your torch on it, and 3 more inches up the tang of the cabinet screwdriver. Bring it up to red and then stir a bucket of oil till it cools down to the touch. Then wash it off real good and either stick it in an oven at 350 degrees, or play your torch on it and just guess...to aneal it...(do it wont snap from being too hard and brittle). Then go dress it on the fine rock I'm your grinder. You'll like it because YOU CREATED it! You already have a good designing mind. Just "SEE" the tool you need, write down it's perameters, and make the tool. If you have a local store, that has some heafty handled screwdrivers, but they're el-cheap-o junk...buy a few packages of them. Don't try to use them for screwdrivers...they'll strip out...just make your tool and weld the screwdriver to your tool. Now, you have a matched set of custom tools, and you didn't even have to make the handles! THANKS AGAIN for posting! (( I'm an old retiree from Tennessee. ))

I never bought a Dyson so-called "bladeless fan" (over priced gadgetry) and was able to figure out right away. It's a form of "duct": 1. passageway in a building or machine for air.

[@juanpls3856]

Even if it spun I don't think it can move the air without some kind of blades xd

[@highpitwilma]

@@juanpls3856 It CAN,Mate! In the 1960's we had air-movers["Fans"] without any blades. They were used underground in deep shaft coalmining,where I worked. They employed the principle of differentials in air pressure,the very science of how we get windy days,caused by lowering of the air pressure on a frontal system. Compressed air being forced through the fine slot in the "Fan",lowered the air pressure,causing the surrounding air to rush through the air-mover ["Fan"],at high speed and with a tremendous volume of air being moved. No reason why a small compressor couldn't be mounted inside ,instead of a small fan that this guy has used...maybe he didn't know about this ancient technology from the 1960's...![and maybe now he might post another video showing the conversion,to shut up the critics who are so P.C.!!]..Without buying a Dyson fan,and dismantling it to find it has blades,I fully expected that it worked on the deployment of a small compressor providing the depression factor.....There now,I've just made Dyson a few more million pounds,when they read my comments!!

Lament of an average woodworker: "I have the tools but not the inspiration!" I am also a guitar player. The last time I felt so insignificant was the first time I ever saw Pat Methany play. After that experience, I would sometimes just sit and stare at my guitars, wondering where that music was? I had the same 6 strings, the same beautiful instruments but could only stare longingly at them, humbled by the notion that such music existed within the confines of that device, but I lacked the ability to unshackle it. I just felt that very same longing as I watched this video. I've never watched anything else you have done sir, but I will, and I will again feel the deep sense of wonder and respect that such talent exists. As I contemplate the continued isolation this virus has brought upon us all, I hope that the coming days spent in the woodshop can even begin to approach the mastery you have displayed here. Hell, I'd be thrilled just to be able to make that base! Well done friend. I stand in awe of your abilities.

[@jonm2416]

I very much know how you feel. Somewhere deep inside you is the magic needed to create on this level. whether it be music, craft, whichever.. I hope you are able to find it as I also hope for the inspiration and understanding to achieve great things myself. Good luck to you!

[@Roller76]

You're not alone bud. I grew up having a love for drawing. I even won awards during my senior year of high school. Then that love, inspiration, and drive just dwindled down. All I hear was family and friends telling me I should draw again and if they had that talent they would be doing art all the time. But I also grew up building furniture and/or helping my dad (and mom) renovating the house. My parents both taught me lots about building, using tools, wiring, and the list goes on. So I have a love for woodworking that I've never lost. With that said, I haven't done any art or woodworking. Side note; I was born with brittle bones and I was blessed in so many ways from the Lord. Where others have told me I can't do something my family/friends encouraged me to do anything. Fast forward to today, I've been forced to go on disability. I'd rather be working but as I've gotten older my health has declined. But that still doesn't mean I can't do the things I love; it just means I can't do everything that I used to. With that said, I still am sitting here instead of using my gifts. We all go through this but sometimes we need a boost, a word of encouragement, or (like my wife does) a kick in the pants lol. And don't compare yourself to another artist; you aren't them and why would you want to? Be you. Pick up your guitar and start jamming and just messing with it and you'll catch something you like. That's how songs/music is made.

[@timothyrayner3626]

Best piece of advice I heard on a Maker podcast was to be inspired by bad workmanship. Good workmanship, like this amazing fan, is great but CAN make you feel inadequate but if you find something that was badly made it might inspire you to think ""even I could do better than that" and to of ways in which you COULD do better. At the end you might not have something that you think of as a masterpiece but if you have done a better job than the bad workmanship you were inspired by then you'll have built your skills and still have a feeling of achievement.

[@DavidLindes]

25:06 - the dog's reaction, though! So cute! :)

[@tomcockings2284]

What craftsmanship! A true piece of art! Very inspiring, thank you. Fans generally need about 4 x diameters clear before making the air do lots of work changing direction etc. This improves overall fan efficiency and reduces noise massively especially at higher airflows. Some fans arent designed to be constrained in a tube as the blade edge details arent optimal, this again reduces efficiency and increases noise. The beauty of your design is you can easily remake the bottom piece for a different fan or a longer tube to give you the best fan efficiency etc.

[@trahtrebor]

The method for the slots in the base was pure genius! Think I'll try to remember that one. Lol Thanks!
