Number One Fan

I recently installed ceiling fans in the bedrooms of my house, and unbelievably, there haven't been any short-circuits or flying sparks since I put them in.  They actually look quite nice; much nicer than the stock white fans that precariously dangled from the ceiling of my first apartment, but certainly nothing like the ultra-stylish Duplo-Dinamico from Matthews Fan Company.  I'm guessing "Duplo" refers to the unique design of the "double" motors and fans on opposite sides of the rotating axle.  The exact translation of "Dinamico" is probably "really cool looking."  The rare form of the really cool looking double fan is for more than just aesthetics; the rotational fans help circulate heat and air conditioning more effectively than traditional fans.  Maybe I can improvise and get the same effect by duct-taping a couple of those plastic desktop fans to the blades of my ceiling fans...maybe not.

Scottsdale's Gravatar I also installed some fans on all the bedrooms right before the summer started, Im in Scottsdale AZ. While working out in the garage I realized that would be a great place to have one just to move some of that hot air out and away from the house. These fans look amazing and would really get that air moving. I dont think they look that good, I like more of the classic look but this sure would be cool in the garage!

beth's Gravatar These fans dont look that good? Garage? Classic look? What, there were electric ceiling fans in ancient Greece? I totally disagree. The Matthews fans are amazing designs. I own the Ruth and it is fabulous. The Matthews designer certainly has the hand of genius....
