Fact #1. The history of fan technology dates back thousands of years. It starts from the use of small, handheld devices to the mechanical and electrical fans used today. The earliest known units date to around the year 3000 BCE during the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Fact #2. One of the first electric fans was invented in the 1880s by a resident of Los Angeles. By the beginning of the 20th century, mass production of models for home use became more common, particularly with the industrial advances of steel manufacturing in the 1920s.
Fact #3. Also known as a floor fan, the pedestal fan is usually powered by an electric motor and operates in much the same way as conventional types. Many will feature a rotating arrangement of three to five blades that act on the air around them. The assembly on which the blades rotate is called a rotor and is typically protected within a case.
Fact #4. Most pedestal fans leverage wind-chill effect. This is the technical description of the human body's perceived decrease in temperature felt on the skin by the flow of air. To put it into more of an everyday context, consider what happens when it gets really hot outside. You come in from the heat, sit on the sofa, and blast a fan in front of your body to help you cool down faster than would would without one.
Fact #5. These fans offer several benefits. Aside from their ability to save on energy costs, they significantly increase air circulation throughout a large room. The optimal space for a unit to provide the best circulation possible would be in one of a room's corners facing toward the center. Many electric models are also capable of oscillating to ensure maximum coverage and air flow to both sides of a large room.
