I got the B-Air BB-1 fan for frolic. Turned the thing on in my kitchen pointed up, and suddenly lint balls were being pulled from under the fridge and the stove, and papers were being pulled away from magnets on the fridge. And the thing sounds like a jet engine.
Looking into it, the motor is an induction motor, aka magnetic motor. So I'm not sure it would be possible to put it on a dimmer (motor speed controller will not work either). I can make a sound box, but that's pretty big (about like a sound box for a generator).
Might be ok at Frolic, since it is a loud nightclub and I can put it up next to the speaker stacks which will be much louder.
Will have it with me at Frolic on Saturday. Will see how it does in that space. It does get hot there, but I don't want to create too much wind and this thing is very powerful.
Was hoping to be able to use it at home during the summer, since I have no AC, but it's way to powerful for home use.
