What if, rather than fan blades rotating vertically  you had one large, vertical (upright) blade that rotated horizontally round and round.
Surely something that size, perhaps shaped like a rectangle moving rapidly round would move more air than a normal fan.

Note: I don't mean like ceiling fans that they use in hotter countries. I mean like a standing flat obelisk that spins round as I said, my fan blade is vertical and upright. Imagine the obeslisk from 2001: A Space Odyssey spinning round.

the blade/blades are adjustable so they can eithter pull cold air up or push warm air down depending on the weather. Also the speed is adustable either from a light-switch type dimmer or these days by a remote. they even come with lights on them.

They are very good I had one in Las Palmas Gran Canaria.

No. I don't mean that. The blade/blades on my fan would be upright. The fan would stand in the corner of a room like a standard lamp.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
