Ultra-powerful vintage fan in operation at an antique store
This is a huge super-powerful fan very similar to the one Maxxarcade demonstrates. It has a huge motor with a centrifugal switch on the start winding. It still works great! Saw it at an antique store along with some radios. Thanks to the antique store owner for demonstrating it to me.

I work for a sign company here in west virginia and we have a very similar fan just outside of our paint booth. i do not recall the name, but it is as large as that except that the motor housing is more bullet shape, but the fan shroud looks identical. not sure about the base, i think ours is a round base not a footed one.

i have a large fan like that, it sounds like an airplane when its running, its quite scary. i took the guard of mine because who owned it knocked it over. i got it for free.
not sure of the brand but it had something like beaver on the guard.
and the name warburton-franki.
i ran it in the house once and it blew the certains of the wall.

Don’t see very many 1075 RPM split phase motors around anymore. Of the ones I’ve seen, they’re 1725 or higher.

Looks more like an old Dayton fan to me. . . I have a fan like that, albeit nowhere near as tall, that’s over at my dad’s shop with the same blade appearance.

It’s actually not for sale. . You can hear the lady mention quietly that a lot of people have asked to buy it but she doesn’t want to sell it as it cools the antique shop so well.

I think it could be an Emerson. But it could also be a Eskimo, I’ve seen them with those blades. Not totally sure though.

I think the motor on that fan is a General Electric, its the same motor thats on my General Electric Industrial fan. It also looks like a Berns Air King or a Whril Wind fan. Also did they have the fan for sale?

Wow, I think that’s almost identical to my fan, only taller. That is indeed what the blade is supposed to look like, and how it is supposed to sound. Any idea who made it?
