This fan is just something different.. is the rpm more than that almonard.

[@ANTIQUEFANWORLD]

@neil.v3235 Sorry for late reply. And yes this fan is actually slower than almonard. Almonard is 4pole 1400rpm. Whereas this gec is 6pole 900 rpm.

Wow wow better than some so called Industrial fans

[@ANTIQUEFANWORLD]

Very true brother! GEC is the best fan Company in this whole planet!

[@SOURADEEPBISWAS]

Man this is really a powerful & awesome exhaust fan. Its a legend. GEC industrial equipments.
Try to make a proper guards & pedestal so that u could use the fan like a farrata pedestal fan.

Gem 💎

[@ANTIQUEFANWORLD]

Yup!

[@ShashankArv]

It's Going 960 rpms. Is there the same version of this fan that goes 1400 rpm?

[@ANTIQUEFANWORLD]

Yes. The 1970s model has 4 pole varient. Mine is late 60s. And secondly 60s time, every 18inch exhaust fans where low speed.

[@ShashankArv]

@@ANTIQUEFANWORLD Please make video of the 1970s version.

[@ANTIQUEFANWORLD]

@@ShashankArv I already made a video of late 70s - 80s gec 12inch. But that's no more with me. Condition wasn't good. Was badly damaged by water. Now scrapped and got a better one.

Superb desert coolers based on an untra powerful heavy duty exhaust!!

[@ANTIQUEFANWORLD]

Haha yes!

[@katthefanenthusiast5793]

Crazy how this style of exhaust fan blades has not changed in half a century. In HK (where I live), this style is still sold under Windy and Wing Ton

[@antiquefanworld1728]

True that! These are one of the oldest exhaust fan blade designs. It started way back in the late 20s... was brought up by GEC. And yeah I've seen videos of the windy etc. I hope its Windy Rita.. and another brand named CKE.

[@alisher6089]

Cover the fan, someone can get hurt

[@ANTIQUEFANWORLD]

Yeah. Will try making a new frame

[@ShashankArv]

Even better than Almonard.

[@ANTIQUEFANWORLD]

Yes!
