World's Loudest Ceiling Fan

Doesn't this beast sound awesome! These are found everywhere in the Maldives, but I've never heard one before, that has such a smooth sound. Accelerates like a Veyron too!

[@zayanshakeeb8177]

I would have never imagined this video would ever get almost 2 million views! This video was taken during a trip to an island in my country back when I was 13 years old, using an old Sony handycam (tape storage, mind you!). The noise caught my attention, and I thought I'd make a quick video of it to share with the world. I have never been to that island since, so I do not know if this particular fan has survived since then, but we still do have our fair share of this model still in service. I love the fact that a lot of you mentioned that this sound is extremely nostalgic, as the memories are very dear to me as well. For all the comments I may not be able to reply to, just know that I appreciate every single one! 😊 I use this account primarily these days. However, you might still see an occasional random upload to my old channel from time to time.

@Alexthefancollector Walker ease up a little, it's not like the uploader owns the sound the fan makes. its just a ceiling fan, you can't "steal" the sound it makes so its no big deal

The reason for this, is the fan was wired incorrectly with a PWM TRIAC in line as seen as a dimmer knob near the switch. It operates however shortens the lifespan of the motor. The reason is the waveform of PWM does not resonate in the motors iron core properly and also makes its power factor junk so the stator actually is under increased thermal stress, Either utilise the motors allocated windings for a fractional speed adjustment or install a variac into the wall if you really want to.

However, the ceiling fans here in Bangladesh are very quiet, they make a vvvvvvvvrrrrrrrrr to a wfpwfpwfpwfpwfp sound BUT that’s not the motor, that’s the air blowing on the ground.

[@SantiagoTecnologiayjuegos]

El sonido del ventilador ahora es nostálgico

[@theevilone]

Wonderful. I think the noise is because it is on a dimmer, dimmers work by cutting off the AC at a certain point in each half wave, so there is a sharp spike to 0 which makes the motor coils vibrate. It would be noisiest at 50% and quietest at low and full, since the spikes are small or nonexistant then. The reason for the cool "phasing" slowing down around 0:25 is that it's an asynchronous motor and the rotor is catching up to the speed of the magnetic fields. They get away from it again at 0:30 when he turns it up. There are better ways to control such a motor, but they don't sound as good. Edit: It occured to me at 3am last night that that last bit I said makes no sense, the magnetic fields would move at the same speed regardless of dimmer position, they just wouldn't be as strong on lower settings so the fan would settle into more slip. Maybe the noise is actually the rotor approaching some division of the field speed and it'll only sound like that at fixed divisions of the field speed. See, I can put as much as I want here, becuase nobody will ever read it.

[@mikman711]

Sounds like an alien ship is about to take from your house

[@kernel_data_inpage_error]

This is not supossed to sound like that, the dimmer used was designed for lightbulbs, it causes the motor to vibrate more and technically cook itself alive, it does spin fast, but trust me it won't do so for very long... it wears the motor rapidly and can even be a fire hazard

[@rustyrebar9647]

That dimmer switch is the cause of all that noise. It is the wrong type of speed control for a fan, because it distorts the waveform of the current going to the fan motor...This is ok for incandescent lightbulbs, but not for some motor driven machines.

[@TechHowden]

So I’m not the only one that knows that

[@brentfisher902]

I still remember Veteran's Day 2017 when my father dimmed the heater with fireplace simulation display...He was just sitting, around, reverse-chilling, when 'POP' the heat stopped working. He came and got me and asked what happened to his heater when I noticed that it was plugged into the top 120V NEMA 5-15 R receptacle. The one used to dim a table lamp. Who knew a 600 watt dimmer switch could handle 1600 watts (for a few minutes).... The house has almost no light fixtures secured to any walls or ceilings, all the top sockets of the receptacles are controlled by a light switch and you're supposed to plug in table lamps to light the place up. Needless to say it's a dungeon in there at night. Since I have been living there since 1985 I can't even go outside during the day without wearing sunglasses or my eyes hurt so bad from the bright sun.
