2. High-volume low-speed fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-volume_low-speed_fan

   A High-volume low-speed fan. A high-volume low-speed (HVLS) fan is a type of mechanical fan greater than 7 feet (2.1 m) in diameter. [1] HVLS fans are generally ceiling fans although some are pole mounted. HVLS fans move slowly and distribute large amounts of air at low rotational speed– hence the name "high volume, low speed."

3. Pull switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull_switch

   The most common use of a pull switch is to operate a ceiling electric light. The ceiling fan and mechanical wall fans are also appliances often operated by pull switches. Pull switches may be either two-position (open or closed) or multi-position (allowing for different fan speeds or levels of illumination). Mounted inside a pull switch, there ...

4. Ceiling fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_fan

   A pull-chain and variable-speed control are present. Such a fan has two speeds controlled by a pull-chain: high (full power, independent of the position of the variable-speed control), and "Vari-Lo" (speed determined by the position of the variable-speed control). In some cases, maximum speed on Vari-Lo setting is slower than high.

5. Axial fan design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_fan_design

   An axial fan is a type of fan that causes gas to flow through it in an axial direction, parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. The flow is axial at entry and exit. The fan is designed to produce a pressure difference, and hence force, to cause a flow through the fan. Factors which determine the performance of the fan include the ...

6. Pullstring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullstring

   A pullstring (pull string, pull-string), pullcord (pull cord, pull-cord), or pullchain (pull-chain, pull chain) is a string, cord, or chain wound on a spring-loaded spindle that engages a mechanism when it is pulled. It is most commonly used in toys and motorized equipment. More generally and commonly, a pullstring can be any type of string ...

7. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

   Five-blade or six-blade designs are rare. The materials from which the components are made, such as brass, are important factors in fan desirability. A ceiling fan is a fan suspended from the ceiling of a room. Most ceiling fans rotate at relatively low speeds and do not have blade guards because they are inaccessible and unwieldy.

8. Differential pulley - Wikipedia

   The mechanical advantage would equal the ratio of chain link pairs required for each revolution to the net gain of chain link pairs. Put another way, the mechanical advantage would be the distance of pull required for each unit distance of gain. The mechanical advantage at the differential sprocket pair equals ⁠ P 1 / P 1 − P 2 ⁠.
