Making a Bladeless Wooden Fan - Scrapwood Challenge ep38

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
This was one of the most fun projects I've done!
It involved plenty of problem solving, even before I started making it. I think it came out fabulous as I honestly didn't know if it would work. Although, I think a more powerful fan would take it further still and maybe I'll pursue that at a later date.
Thanks to all my Patreons who've had input in this one, encouraged me and gave me great advice!
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

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

[@gonzostwin1]

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.

[@asj3419]

You won't manage cold fusion, but you can make a regular fusion reactor surprisingly easily. The first fusion reactors where called fusors and could be made with a high voltage power supply and a vacuum pump. It won't do much other than eat power and spew out neutrons (if you put in _alot_ of power), but atleast the glow it gives off looks nice.

[@669Bazza]

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! How on earth did it get almost 6k dislikes is beyond me, luckily the algorithm still picked this up and suggested the video to me ♥

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. :))

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.

[@RidiculousAddictive]

I've been really enjoying your videos and I especially love how you explain why you chose to do things the way you did (including "it was easier" or "i didn't feel like making a jig") as well as how you point out your mistakes and what you did to fix them.

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.

@@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.

[@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.

[@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.

I’m sure I’ve commented this on your channel before but I’d like to say it again. I really appreciate how much you embrace all the possible ways of doing things rather than just looking at it though a “woodworking only” lens. That was a big barrier when I was growing up and it took me years to learn and develop skills in other areas like metal fabrication and electronics. This is to say that I feel like you’re opening the door for woodworkers to embrace other disciplines and expand their capabilities.

[@PollexTheCat]

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.

First thing's first. She's a beauty. I'm really quite speechless.

My adoration for your craftsmanship is endless. So beautiful. So elegantly made!

“I’ve a few scraps of camphor laurel that were offcuts from a chopping board. I’ve had a quick go at building a fully functioning city for around 200000 people, and for fun I’ve included a public transport network and clean energy reactor.”

[@Holocaustica]

Lol. The city now has the third largest economy in the world.

[@57thorns]

@@Holocaustica And it is all based on scrap wood.

[@propfella]

Bobafetting, I didn't realise how many 6 year olds infested KZbin. It appears a number of them followed each other here simply to show just how childish they are. Now run away, your Mummy is calling, it's way past your bed time. I'm sure you already know what you can do with your offcuts, this time try it sideways.

[@57thorns]

​@@propfella The number if cranky 90-year olds however is larger.

[@propfella]

@@57thorns OK, so please tell us which person is the amazing age of 90, and why do you associate people of that age as cranky? It appears you're associating with the wrong 90 year olds in your nursing home. If you can, get out a little more and meet more 90 year olds. I assure you I've met many more cranky 40 year olds than those in their 90's. You appear extremely judgemental, or should I shorten that to simply mental?

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.

[@glenkelley6048]

You are a fine craftsman Sir, as well as an excellent video producer. It is a pleasure to watch you at work.

[@noother964]

I can't decide which was better: watching your thought process during work or the end result. I'm impressed by both!

[@rainyh4110]

That was awesome! With all the stress in life, sometimes you just need to take a 28 minute break and watch a master craftsman make something amazing, and beautiful out of scraps of wood. Thank you!

[@harindergill7221]

Master Craftsman is right!

[@stephenballoch8660]

This is probably one of my favorite builds I have seen on your channel. I have gotten so many ideas from watching you and the surprises never stop. Thank you, sir. I wish I could go down to Australia just to learn from you.

[@valentinprose4755]

I can't believe this is all made of wood it's incredible ! Your mastery of this noble material is unbelievable and I really enjoyed your work. Hats off and keep going !!!

[@alistersutherland3688]

I really have to wonder about the almost 6,000 people who gave this a thumbs down. Like, wtf?!? I'd like to see any one of them post something as comprehensive and creative as this is. Maybe they're just envious. I don't know. I learned muite a bit watching this. Great stuff!

[@RockerAtHeart2008]

You, sir, are a master of creativity and problem solving, and you have my everlasting envy and admiration.

[@PaskMakes]

This was one of the most fun projects I've made! It involved plenty of problem solving, well before I even started making it. I think it came out fabulous as I honestly didn't know if it would work. Although, I think a more powerful fan would take it further still and maybe I'll pursue that at a later date. Thanks to all my Patreons who've had input in this one, encouraged me and gave me great advice! :)

[@dustysparks]

Try softening your hot glue with isopropylene alcohol to remove it (rubbing alcohol), it should peel right off

[@thatcrazyguy1971]

Nicely done! Question about your woodturning tools: I see you use most exclusively tools with inserts. What are the advantages? What tools do you use there?

[@homer2336]

This is what I look for in woodworking videos. Cool innovative projects that I may or may not build. Nicely done.

[@DennisSuitters]

@@thatcrazyguy1971 They are Carbide Scrapers, they are easier to use than traditional tools, and an easier learning curves, they get the job done though.

[@forestlampcraft472]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jschanna]

The wood whisperer says "Even I can do it". Understatement of untold magnitude!

[@codebeat4192]

Wow, looks stunning! Wish I had the equipment you have. I really love the knowledge how to solve problems, the 'simple' tools you made to get the job done. The air holes..... man, very, very clever! I just extend my kitchen with sideboard and case made of scrapwood and laminate flooring left overs. I am very pleased with the results. Also made a cabinet for a 3D printer and CNC machine, all made of chairs, table leaf and other scrapwood. I also reuse metal parts, parts of electronics, such as old TVs. Very satisfying process to see what you can do with it by using imagination. Really fantastic. I think that is the reason YT suggest me to watch this video. It is a keeper, subscribed! In this period of season it is a great time to find scrap wood. It is everywhere! Many people start to clean or change their house and throw away 'old' however useful stuff. Containers full of reusable goodies such as scrap wood.

[@sanfire00]

Seeing "lots of problem solving" as a project quality criterion is something I learned from you! Best video in a long time!

[@marguy1388]

I literally didn’t even notice 28 minutes go by bravo my boy

[@sleepyfella]

Do you play pokemon go ?

[@marguy1388]

CUTE bear yes

[@MrCarnutbill67]

Jesus, I didn’t even pay attention to how long the video was until I read this! That wood species is beautiful.

[@marcusaureliusbermen974]

Now I know :/

[@EnsignLovell]

Wait what......? That was 28 minutes? Honestly felt like 10 😂

[@olenilsen4660]

Beautiful piece, Neil! Always so satisfying watching your videos. Thank you!

[@stormrider8236]

Great video Pask! Thank you for taking the time and effort to put it together. Most inspiring.

[@yourtime]

This project really shows how good you are and how much passion you have for this, I just loved watching this one, it was truly one of the best challenges yet

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@aznative_]

That was very cool. I love how you mixed modern engineering with classic woodworking. I have no doubt it's a piece that you can't capture the total beauty in a picture. I'm sure it looks amazing in person. Nice craftsmanship.

[@cooperrobinson2975]

I KNEW they had fans! Thank you for showing me how this cool technology works! You're a talented man, I would love to get into lathing and woodworking, but I don't have that kind of money! Loved the video, keep it up!

[@stvsan]

You are remarkable! I enjoyed watching every minute of this especially the problems, mistakes, and your solutions.

[@aalever]

That little unfolding Sketchup move - Genius. Going to save me hours.

[@deepoe6636]

I'm not a woodworker, I actually only saw this because it loaded immediately after another video I was watching, but I loved watching this! I always wished I had the tools for woodworking, I am an upholsterer and seamstress, and I found this whole process fascinating - I couldn't stop watching it. Great job! It's a beautiful fan, and the work that goes into it is even more appreciated when you get to see the whole process.

[@scottxfactoraudio8799]

Oh lord,!, Now I feel that I must invent an actual ""Bladeless", (Bladeless), fan. It can be done. Using, "Bournoulli's" forth principle, His "Theorem", that of "variable pressures" will do it. But this fellow here will have to actually make it. Not sure that I have his patience.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

Nora i can pretty much relate. I like working with wood (got that from my grandfather) but don't have the tools for anything like this.

[@MacCekko]

Astonished by your capacities. Really, I am impressed. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video.

[@readmore3634]

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. I build things all the time...it's fun. Maybe rename your post "anything Dyson makes I can make out of wood". I appreciate everything about wood...what a gift from (dare I say) God. Great video....thanks for taking the time.

[@alanmuddypaws3865]

An absolute masterclass in turning, jig making and use, routing and so many other different things. Just stunning!

Wireless headphones have wires inside Bladeless fans have blades inside

I love the way you both show us and talk us through your errors it’s very helpful and could be your main attribute?? Well maybe second place as your projects are right on track for me. Thanks Bob England

So freaking cool. Love the ingenuity behind the various jigs and carpentry methods.
