I decided to give myself another project and take my 36" Hunter Comfort Breeze blades and put them on my gear driven fan. The result was pretty interesting.
You can actually get metal gear for the ceiling fan instead of plastic First he take the gears out of the ceiling fan and coat them in oil then you push the gears into clay to mold the shape of the gears gently pull the gears from the mold.pour molten aluminum into the mold then drill the holes in the gears and tap them
Sounds like a 3 phase motor upon windup to full speed, these should have come from the factory like this. Putting it on the 2 and 1 settings on the controller wouldn’t change the speed much, I can tell by the sound of the motor that it’s already close to max speed, (3000 rpms), the grinding was likely just motor vibration between the gears, the gears have to be able to withstand the full torque of the motor and these blades actually reduce load on the gears.
I did not think the motor could handle that many rpms, and that makes sense, the grinding just did not sound normal so I didn't want to take the risk considering the gears made of plastic. Yes these blade do reduce the weight so I knew the motor would at least handle the #3 speed.
its actually going to be under less load even at high speed like that with short blades, that's how it got so fast the only real danger is the grease flying off the gears which could be solved by using some thick grease on the gear teeth
@@nickhizfanz6569 Dan Spiffy Neuman converted a Nutone friction drive ceiling fan to a spinner motor in this video. th-cam.com/video/aM5C6tDY_O0/w-d-xo.html I know they are two totally different fans but am curious if it is possible to convert one to a spinner motor. I would think getting the gear with the blades attached would be the hardest part to get to spin with a spinner motor.
I got the motor itself from ebay. It didn't come with the rest of the parts so the blades and blade arms are from my 36" Hunter Comfort Breeze which is also from ebay
I honestly couldn’t tell you. I had to relocate so no longer have that control around but I still have the fan. I just wasn’t willing to risk a possible failure in the motor by pushing it too hard
2:24 Dang dude! I'd think that fan was broken if I didn't know it was gear driven! Sounds like a Kitchenaid mixer!
Wow! I didn’t see that coming! Who knew!
2:20 damn it’s so quite on high speed
Holy frick that thing goes fast
Sounds like a Lamborghini
this fan is so quiet I can sleep with it on. approved for installation 😀
Not 🤠

@@nickhizfanz6569 Well it's only made to be on speed "1" in first place.
😂
@@Alexthefancollector It could be that blades and pitch are not original.
2:18 wow thats hella fast.

It would be interesting to see if you could put a spinner motor in it from another fan.
I like that idea 🤔

Baby original blades would look cool on that
Run it on speed one, it wont harm it more than running it without blades
that fan is a single speed
@alexthefancollectorwalker1553 Shut the hell up, it won't break it you you fucking imbecile
Its connected to a wall control@@oheck
Nice
Noisy Ceiling Fan
man having that would drive me crazy although nice fan where did you get that

Boiii and I thought I was a fruit cake for my vacuum thing
Just wait until you find the toilet and public bathroom enthusiasts.
What's the cap value on speed 2? These top out at about 5-6 uf

Fair. But that's probably why the gears were grinding, speed 2 was way over the fan's abilities
Could you try to put on Cane blades?
I could if I can find cane blades that fit the brackets
@@nickhizfanz6569ok
It's so loud on fast speed!
I wouldn't be running it that fast
Speed 1 speed 1 speed 1 speed 1!!
No it will probably wobble too much that it will fall out of the dang ceiling!
@@JustJackhere bet, watch my Davimport Excelsior video, that fan is one of my most wobbly fans
@@Gabehasnewyt Send Link To Video
Plus the plastic gears might break
He tried to put on speed 2 and he hearing gears grinding if speed 1 the gears could broke
4:05 you can kinda hear the motor better
That is really noisy
Mine is faster than yours mine is white not lg its has 3 orange spots on 3 wings
