Gettin Hot Here, Boss

 My grandson called me a few minutes ago. He was on his way home from work.

It's getting hot here, gonna be 100+ here in a bit. The warehouse he works in he said had to be over a 100 already. He said they had started to bring in some big fans to help out.

Then he said there were ceiling fans installed at the ceiling. The brand name is Big Ass Fans. He said the blades were 20 feet long or so.

I said bs and looked them up. Get a load of this:  Big Ass HVLS Fan, Basic 6 24 ft. Ceiling Fan - 1.5 kW, F-PF62-2402S34S65X2

That sucker has 24 foot blades. Per side. $6000+ for that puppy.

Holy smokes can you imagine the boom lift going up that high to install that thing?

Damnation.

  1. I've been in several fab shops that have Big Ass Fans and they are amazing as they move a lot of air but without great disturbance.

  2. Their made in Lexington Ky. Been around a long time. Good Company with a good product.

  3. We've installed them in aircraft hangars and automobile shop areas. They rotate very slowly, using the long blades to push large mass of air below creating convection not requiring air conditioning. I don't think we've installed anything that large as described by your son, ours only about 24' in diameter.

    During the early 80's, I worked in a metal warehouse selling building materials to building contractors. Best shape of my life - I burned calories like crazy.

  4. He should come work in the fiberglass shop at the boat plant. We've been on the night shift for a few weeks.
