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.

Watching this made me so happy for some reason. It's made out of scraps and instead of hiding it, the patchwork-kind pattern is a highlight. The entire process of shaping it was so satisfying to watch. The design itself is quite elegant. The horizontal holes look great and you didn't hide the mistake, instead explained it and decided on a way to fix it. The way you made the holes was brilliant. All in all just such a wholesome video!

After watching the video, how much do you think would be a fair price to buy it?

[@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.

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 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.

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.

Finished product looks really great. Job well done mate!

[@patrikwihlke4170]

Hey, I'm a programmer too and love both code and wood working but never did much of the latter. A while ago I decided to just go for it and built a wardrobe on either side of the bed with overhead storage, side boxes for phones or books and inset led strips etc. I even spray painted it myself which required some practice and time. 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.

[@WarriorOfProdigy]

Yeah, but you still need to do something for living. No carpenter can make only fancy gadgets. You have to make kitchen after kitchen and time to time one interesting project. Believe me. My brother-in-law is a carpenter and he's definitely not so enthusiastic after years. One must be famous on YT...that's the way.

[@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.

[@icastmoustache9387]

First thing's first. She's a beauty. I'm really quite speechless. I'd strongly suggest going to the dump and sourcing a working drying machine fan. those babies are so powerful they can take a finger if not careful enough (plus they are close in size to computer fans). They also take straight unmodded socket voltage and amperage (usually, tested on euro 220v) for speed control i'd just get a dimmer.

[@montialarson]

KZbin gave me a total gem this time. I love watching construction videos. This channel seems to be full of that, so I'm subscribing.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@grady9752]

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.

I thought most people knew what "bladeless" fans were by now, the design is over 10 years old. They're as much bladeless as floating tables are actually floating, and that's fine. it's fine to call things like this by what they're intended to "appear" to be. Seriously I figured this thing out on my own when I was in jr high, when Dyson first released these things and they were super popular. Get over yourselves. Do you people have any idea how impractical an ionic propulsion fan would be? Aside from the fact that putting one inside a wooden housing would probably immediately catch it on fire. I guess you *could* make a bellow "fan". But this is a wood working channel not an engineering channel, and somebody else did that recently. This is just outstanding craftsmanship.

[@peterboice348]

Wow! I really seldom comment especially to a conversation as disappointingly inane as elements of this one but i am compelled ... the Dyson bladeless fan is not bladeless. That is not the point. The point is to make a fan that has very little turbulence and no visible blade to create said turbulence and potentially to be dangerous. The bigger point to me is that this guy is a straight up brilliant crafts person. To build this housing that has very small tolerances and very specific complex curved surfaces out of scraps of hardwood is simply spectacular to me. I am a fan ( pun intended) and I just subscribed. Thanks for demonstrating what your exceptional problem solving and years of experience in the shop can accomplish.
